THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR ALARM SYSTEM
While the SYS3316RF is an advanced design security system, it does not
offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire, or other losses. Any
alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compro-
mise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include:
Smoke detectors used in conjunction with the alarm system may not
sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as
chimneys, walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of the residence or
building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor
or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No
smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general,
detectors may not always warn you about fires caused by carelessness
and safety hazards, like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping
gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical
circuits, children playing with matches, arson, etc.
.
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the
technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an
alarm warning device.
.
.
Intrusion detectors, smoke detectors, and many sensing devices will not
operate without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if their AC
power supply is off for any reason and their back-up batteries are
missing, dead, or improperly installed.
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, and horns may not alert
people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed
or partly closed doors. If warning devices are on a different level of the
residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to waken or alert
people inside the bedrooms.
.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to
a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily out
of service. Telephone lines are subject to compromise by sophisti-
cated methods of attack.
.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning properly
when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenace. Your alarm
system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors are operating
properly. The SYS3316RF panel and keypads should also be tested.
.
Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower insurance
rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners,
property owners, and renters should continue to insure their lives and
property.

LIMITED WARRANTY
The SYS3316RF is warrantied against manufacturing defects for 18
months from the date of manufacture. The manufacture date is estab-
lished by the date code on the unit. This Limited Warranty does not apply
to any product that has been abused, altered, or misused, whether
physically or electrically. Products returned within five months of manu-
facture will be replaced with a new unit.
PROCEDURE FOR RETURNING DAMAGED PRODUCTS
1.
Assign your unit a PO/ID number. This is important for tracking repair
status. If you do not assign your unit a PO/ID number, C&K will ID
your product using the order processing date.
2.
Enclose your PO/ID number, company name, personal name, and
day time phone number in the return package. If you have an account
with C&K, include your account number as well.
3.
Send the unit to C&K SYSTEMS, 107 Woodmere Road, Folsom,
California, 95630. Do not return communicators in their cabinets.
The cabinets increase shipping costs and delay repair times.
4.
Once your unit is received at C&K, it will be assigned an RMA (Return
Material Authorization) number.
5.
Replacement units will be returned either COD or NET-30 (depend-
ing on your account status), to the address you specify.
6.
All warranty replacements will be shipped via UPS ground service,
with shipping charges pre-paid.
7.
All out-of-warranty replacements will be shipped via UPS ground
service, with shipping charges attached.
8.
If you require a faster shipping method than UPS ground service,
include specific instructions with the damaged unit. Accelerated
shipping charges will be added to NET-30 or COD billing. COD fast-
ship orders will only be sent via UPS air.
Complete warranty information is available from C&K Distributors, C&K
Sales Representatives, and the C&K Customer Service Department.
