About the TouchCenter
Introduction
Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional

represents the latest in security protection technology today.
This security system offers you burglary protection and may provide
fire and emergency protection. To realize the full potential of the
system, it is important that you feel comfortable operating it. Your
system may consist of:

UL
The home lighting feature has not been evaluated by UL.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all zones, and
provides appropriate information for display on the TouchCenter
and/or other keypads used with the system. Your system may also
have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status
messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
