FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) STATEMENT 

This equipment has been tested to FCC requirements and has been found acceptable for use. The FCC requires the following statement for your 
information: 

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's 
instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
computing device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such 
interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does 
cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct 
the interference by one or more of the following measures: 

•  If using an indoor antenna, have a quality outdoor antenna installed. 
•  Reorient the receiving antenna until interference is reduced or eliminated.  
•  Move the radio or television receiver away from the receiver/control. 
•  Move the antenna leads away from any wire runs to the receiver/control. 
•  Plug the receiver/control into a different outlet so that it and the radio or television receiver are on different branch circuits. 

If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user or installer may find 
the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: 

"Interference Handbook" 

This booklet is available under Stock No. 004-000-00450-7 from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. 
The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless authorized by the Installation and Setup Guide or User Guide. 
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 

 

WARNING 

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS WIRELESS ALARM SYSTEM  

While this System is an advanced wireless security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other emergency. Any alarm 
system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example: 

•  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 (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without power. Battery-operated 

devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if 
their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.  

•  Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal path has been 

recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path. 

•  A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough. 
•  While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or provide early warning 

for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the 
reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and 
positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the 
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a 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 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, or arson. Depending 
on the nature of the fire and/or location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to 
allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death. 

•  Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation manual. Passive Infrared 

Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed 
areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, 
glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical 
system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the 
protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection performance can decrease. 

•  Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed or partly 

open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people 
inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or 
other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people. 

•  Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily out of service. 

Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders. 

•  Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves from the emergency 

situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately. 

•  This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as 20 years, the 

electronic components could fail at any time. 

The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm system should be 
tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly. The security console (and remote keypad) should be tested as well. 

This system's wireless transmitters are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Longevity of batteries may be as much 
as 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low 
temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can 
identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system. 

Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, 
property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property. 

We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about these 
developments.
