made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection
technology today. This system provides:

Three forms of protection: burglary, fire* and emergency
•
At least one keypad which provides control of system and displays system status
•
Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection
•
Smoke or combustion detectors* designed to provide early warning in case of fire.
Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status
messages over the phone lines to a Central Monitoring Station.
* Commercial installations and some residential systems may not include fire
protection – check with your installer.

Fire protection is always active (if installed) and an alarm sounds if a fire
condition is detected

Use your security code when arming and disarming the system, and when
performing other system functions.

Other users can be assigned different security codes, each with different
authority levels, which define the system functions a particular user can perform.
