Canceling and Preventing Accidental Alarms
One of the biggest concerns you might have regarding your security system, is causing an accidental alarm. Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the residence after arming the system, or, before disarming the system upon your return.
Canceling Accidental Alarms
You may have up to 254 seconds (programmable by your installer) to cancel an accidental alarm. See your installer to find out what time is programmed. If the programmed time has passed, you must call the central monitoring station to cancel the alarm. You have ___ seconds to cancel an accidental alarm.

To cancel an accidental alarm before the programmed dialer delay time expires, enter your access code.
Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms
The following guidelines will go a long way toward preventing accidental alarms. Close doors and windows before you leave your house. Gather your belongings, so you can exit immediately after arming the system. Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times. Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it. Disarm your system immediately upon returning home. Be aware of the devices in your security system and learn how each one operates. If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion detectors. Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke detectors near bathrooms and kitchens can be tripped by steam and smoke from cooking. Take note of system beeps, voice announcements and indicator lights which indicate the current system status.
How to Use an Off-Site Phone
You may use an off-site phone to arm/disarm your panel, turn lights on and off, check system status, or conduct an audio session (ask your installer if you have this feature). 1. 2.
How to gain access to the Control Panel:
Call the panel and let the phone ring twice then hang up. Wait at least 10 seconds and call the panel again. You may wait up to 40 seconds before calling again. 3. The panel should answer on the first ring. You wont hear any prompt when the system answers. 4. Press the * button on your telephone and you will hear system activated. At this point you may perform the actions listed in the following table of phone commands. CODE refers to the master and access codes programmed into your system. Phone Commands

Alarm System Limitations

Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental problems. All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons.
If sirens are not placed within hearing range of persons sleeping, in remote parts of the premises, or if they are placed behind doors or other obstacles. If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry or areas where sensors have been bypassed. If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all or part of the system. If power to sensors is inadequate or disconnected. If freeze or any environmental sensors are not located in areas where the appropriate condition can be detected. If smoke does not reach a Smoke Sensor. For example, Smoke Sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. Sensors may not detect smoke in other levels of the building. Sensors may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions. If telephone lines are out of service.
Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system at least once per week to be sure sensors, sirens, and phone communications are all working correctly. Although having an alarm system may make you eligible for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance.
Security system devices cannot compensate you for the loss of life or property.

Planning for Emergencies

This section describes what you can do to plan ahead for an emergency: Emergency Planning Your Floor Plan

Emergency Planning

Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should develop plans to help prepare for a variety of emergency situations. Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency plans to include the following: Understand how to use your security system Know the normal state of doors and windows; open, closed, or locked.
Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack.) Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to the touch. Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help reduce smoke inhalation during your escape. Meet at a designated outdoor location. Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if there is a fire. Notify the fire department from a neighbors phone. Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if they hear sirens in the house. If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do not enter. Call for emergency assistance from a neighbors phone.

NOTE: Ceiling-mounted smoke detectors should be located in the center of the room or hall, or not less than 4 inches from the wall. When the detector is mounted on the wall, the top of the detector should be 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling. NOTE: Do not install smoke detectors where normal ambient temperatures are above 100F or below 40F. Also, do not locate detectors in front of AC/ Heat registers or other locations where normal air circulation will keep smoke from entering the detector. NOTE: Additional information on household fire warning is available at nominal cost from: The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. Request Standard No. NFPA74.
