may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good
operating condition.
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects
placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal
interference.
System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or
temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the
correct operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the
alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
Automatic Alarm Initiating Devices
Smoke detectors, heat detectors and other alarm initiating devices that are a part of this
system may not properly detect a fire condition or signal the control panel to alert occupants of
a fire condition for a number of reasons, such as: the smoke detectors or heat detector may
have been improperly installed or positioned; smoke or heat may not be able to reach the
alarm initiating device, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side
of closed doors; and, smoke and heat detectors may not detect smoke or heat from fires on
another level of the residence or building.
Software
Most Secutron products contain software. With respect to those products, Secutron does not
warranty that the operation of the software will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the
software will meet any other standard of performance, or that the functions or performance of
the software will meet the user’s requirements. Secutron shall not be liable for any delays,
breakdowns, interruptions, loss, destruction, alteration or other problems in the use of a
product arising our of, or caused by, the software.
Every fire is different in the amount and rate at which smoke and heat are generated. Smoke
detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely
warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical
circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector or heat detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances
when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or
death.
Alarm Notification Appliances
Alarm Notification Appliances such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or
waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If notification appliances are
located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants
will be alerted or awakened. Audible notification appliances may be interfered with by other
noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or
passing traffic. Audible notification appliances, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-
impaired person.
