LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM (cont)
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.
If warning devices sound 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, other appliances, or by passing
traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn
hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
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.
However, even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, 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 10 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 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. 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.
