4. Warranty
4.1. Warning Limitations & Warranty
While this system is an advanced security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against
burglary or any 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 or disconnect an alarm warning device.
•
Intrusion detectors (e.g., microwave 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.
•
Microwave Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as set out in their
installation manual.
•
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers
who are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. 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 appliances, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not
warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
•
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this
equipment is designed to last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any
time.
•
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion occurs is
inadequate maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all devices are
working properly.
•
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system
is not a substitute for insurance. Owners should continue to act prudently in protecting
themselves and continue to insure their 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.
