WARNING Please Read Carefully
Important Notice
An auto gate system cannot prevent burglary. It is only a replacement way for user to open the door.
Auto gate systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are
not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your auto gate system
should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the
level of protection that has been provided and on the system operations.
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with systems user, it is your
responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances,
however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection.
Any auto gate system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected
for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be:
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation
should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all measurement is correct.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It
is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of
these features. It is important that an auto gate system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its
features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the
protection expected.
Power Failure
Control units require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from
batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be
charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any
interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power
interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage
electronic equipment such as security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately
conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
The expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions
such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the
expected battery life. Low battery condition will cause the system in low power condition and having
problem functioning as usual. 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.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to
function as intended due to the failure of a component.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an auto gate system from operating as intended can be found by
regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a
break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction
activity inside or outside the premises.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an auto gate system is not a substitute for property of life insurance. An
auto gate system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act
prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
