System Overview  
General Information  
Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional  
Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it  
represents the latest in security protection technology today,  
including microcomputer technology to monitor all system status.  
Basically, this system offers you three forms of protection: burglary,  
fire, and emergency. Your system may consist of at least one keypad  
which provides full control of system operation, various sensors such  
as motion detectors and door and window sensing devices, plus a  
selected number of strategically placed smoke or combustion detectors  
designed to provide early warning in case of fire. Your system may  
also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status  
messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.  
All system functions are controlled by your keypad(s), which are  
described in the next section, ABOUT THE KEYPADS.  
Zones  
Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones".  
For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have  
been assigned to zone 06, sensing devices on windows in the master  
bedroom to zone 10, and so on. These zone numbers will appear on the  
display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.  
Burglary Protection  
Your FA148C provides five modes of burglary protection: STAY,  
NIGHT-STAY, AWAY, INSTANT, and MAXIMUM, and allows you to  
bypass selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed. You  
must turn on (arm) the burglary protection portion of your system  
before it will sense burglary alarms. The system also provides a  
CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and  
windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of  
this manual for procedures for using these features.

Security Codes  
At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal four-digit  
security code, known only to you. You must enter the security code  
when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other  
system functions. As an additional safety feature, other users who do  
not need to know your code can be assigned different security codes.  
Refer to the Secu r ity Cod es section for procedures on adding security  
codes to the system.  
Fire Protection  
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always  
active and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to  
the Fir e Ala r m System section for important information concerning  
fire protection, smoke detectors, and planning emergency exit routes  
from the premises.  
Alarms  
When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will  
sound, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. If  
your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm  
message will also be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm  
the system.

System Overview (cont'd)  
Cross Zoning  
Cross zoning is used to prevent false alarms. Up to 10 zones can be linked  
together in your security system (programmed by the installer). If any of  
the 10 linked zones faults in the armed state, the system will wait to see  
if a second zone faults within a programmed period of time. When the  
second zone faults, alarms will be sent out for both zones (if  
programmed), the alarm bell will sound, and the two zones in alarm will  
be displayed on the keypad.  
However, if another fault does NOT occur within the programmed period  
of time, only a Trouble report will be sent to the monitoring station and  
no message will be displayed on the keypad until the system is disarmed.  
Memory of Alarm  
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s)  
of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm  
(e.g.,  
,
). It remains displayed until it is cleared by  
F IRE ALARM  
disarming the system (see the  
section).  
Disa r m in g a n d Silen cin g Ala r m s  
Phone Access & Voice Response Capability  
Your system may include a voice module that permits you to access  
the system via a TouchTone phone, either on-premises or by call-in  
when away. The phone access feature will enable you to do the  
following:  
Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding  
the status of the security system.  
Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands  
via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each  
command entry.  
Paging Feature  
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your  
pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system.  
Your pager will display code numbers indicating the type of condition  
that has occurred. Refer to the  
detailed information.

Entry/Exit delays  
General Information  
The FA148C has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry  
delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to  
leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm.  
Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming command,  
and applies to all modes of arming protection. If it is programmed, a  
slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period, with fast  
beeps during the last 10 seconds.  
gives you time to disarm the system when you re-enter  
En tr y Dela y  
through the designated entrance door. But you must disarm the  
system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The  
keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm  
the system. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is  
for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary  
entrance, where a longer delay is required to give you enough time to  
walk to the keypad to disarm the system.  
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either  
the INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming mode. These modes provide  
greater security while you are on the premises.  
See your installer for your delay times (you may want to record them  
below).

Exit Alarms  
To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company,  
your system may have been programmed for this feature. Ask  
your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system.  
Exit Alarm Active  
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit  
door or interior zone is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit  
door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay  
timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm  
sound stops and the message  
or  
is  
CA  
CANCE LE D ALAR M  
displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the  
faulted zone. No message is sent to the alarm monitoring company.  
To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made intact.  
To clear the display, enter your 4-digit security code plus OFF key.  
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an  
entry/exit door or interior zone is still open, the alarm sound  
continues and an exit alarm message is sent to the alarm monitoring  
company. The message  
or  
is displayed on the  
E A  
EXIT ALARM  
keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop  
the alarm, the system must be disarmed (by entering your code plus  
OFF). To clear the display, enter your code plus OFF a second time.  
An exit alarm also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is  
faulted within 2 minutes after the end of the exit delay.

About the Keypads  
IMPORTANT  
If the keypad beeps rapidly when you enter the premises, it  
means that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an  
intruder may still be on the premises.  
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT THE POLICE from a  
nearby safe location.  
General Information  
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads  
feature a telephone-style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal  
Display (LCD) that shows the nature and location of all occurrences.  
The keypads contain a built-in loudspeaker (sounder) that will  
annunciate during alarms and troubles. The keypads also beep during  
certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in  
mode, and when you depress any of the keys (to acknowledge  
CHIME  
the key press).  
There are two basic types of keypads: the  
keypad and the  
fixed -w or d  
keypad (both described below).  
a lp h a  
Two-Line Alpha Keypad  
Two-line alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric  
LCD that display system messages in English. The typical alpha  
keypad (FA560KP) is shown on page 12. These keypads can also be  
programmed with custom zone descriptors.

Fixed-Word Keypad  
Fixed-word keypads are functionally identical to alpha keypads, but  
the LCD display uses predesignated words to identify the nature and  
location of occurrences. The typical fixed-word keypad (FA215KP) is  
shown on the next page.

Using Device Commands  
General Information  
Your system may be set up so that certain lights or other devices can  
be turned on or off by using the device command from the keypad.  
Ask your installer if this has been done in your system.  
If  
programmed for your system, some devices may activate  
automatically upon certain system conditions. In this case, the

Paging Feature  
General Information  
If the Paging feature has been programmed for your system, your  
pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system.  
This message appears in a 7-digit format explained below. You can  
also send up to 16 additional digits that may consist of PIN numbers,  
messages, reminders, etc. These 16 digits are programmed by your  
installer and will appear before the standard 7-digit message.  
The [D] button, when pressed (if available), sends a special message  
to a pager and displays  
on the keypad for 30 seconds  
P a ger Msg sen t  
(on an alpha keypad). The message it sends is coded as 999-9999 and  
signifies ANY message the user and recipient have decided is  
appropriate.  
Code Format  
The 7-digit condition code that follows takes the following form:  
SSS-  
00E E  
SSS = 3-digit event code: 911 = Alarm  
811 = Trouble  
101 = Opening (disarm)  
102 = Closing (arm AWAY)  
00EE = The first 2 digits will always be 00. They are followed by the  
2-digit user number or zone number, depending on the event  
code.  
Examples  
Pager displays: 911–0004  
.
This indicates that your system is  
and  
reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault in zone 4 (04).  
Ala r m  
codes are always followed by the zone numbers in which they  
tr ou b le  
occur.  
Pager displays: 101–0011  
reporting an open (101) by user 11 (0011).  
.
This indicates that your system is  
and  
Op en in g  
closin g  
codes are always followed by the code number of the person who  
caused it to happen. User codes are individually assigned and  
programmed into the system by your installer.

Security Codes  
General Information  
As an additional safety feature, other users who do not need to know  
your code can be assigned different security codes. These secondary  
users are identified by "user numbers," which you select when you  
assign a user's security code. You can assign up to 14 additional user  
codes (user numbers 03-16), including the Temporary and Duress  
codes. Note that the master (primary) user of the system is the only  
one who can assign codes to secondary (or temporary) users, and is  
user number 02; user number 01 is reserved for the installer of the  
system.  
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system  
functions (a system armed with one user's code can be disarmed by  
another user's code), except the temporary code, described below.  
Temporary Code  
This code can be used to arm and disarm the system. It is typically  
assigned to someone (such as a babysitter) who needs to arm/disarm  
the system only at certain times. The temporary code is assigned to  
user 15. The user of this code should  
use the Quick Arming  
n ot  
feature described below. This code will automatically be removed  
when the Master code is entered.  
Duress Code  
This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm  
the system under threat. When used, the system will operate  
normally, but can silently notify the alarm monitoring company of  
your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress code is  
assigned to user 16.  
This code is useful only when the system is connected to  
Im p or ta n t:  
an alarm monitoring company.

Fire Alarm System  
(If Installed)  
General Information  
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day,  
providing continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the  
installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate your  
security system, triggering a loud, interrupted sound from the  
keypad. Optional exterior sounders will also produce an interrupted  
sound. Your keypad will display a  
message (with zone location)  
F IRE  
until you silence and clear the alarm display.  
In Case of Fire  
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors  
sense the problem, go to your nearest keypad and press the single  
panic key (or panic key pair) assigned as FIRE emergency (if  
programmed by the installer) and hold it down for at least 2  
seconds. The alarm will sound.  
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.  
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify  
your local fire department immediately.  
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the  
alarm. The keypad will display the zone descriptor of the zone(s) in  
an alarm condition.

Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors  
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors,  
we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire  
Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72, noted below.  
Early-warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation  
of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the  
household as follows: For minimum protection, a smoke detector  
should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and  
on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit,  
including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in  
kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not  
normally recommended.  
For additional protection, the NFPA recommends that you install  
heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s),  
kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,  
basements, and attached garages.

• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone  
sleeps with the door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be  
blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside  
may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.  
• Install  
a
smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical  
appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners, or  
humidifiers) are used.  
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is  
more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.  
• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is  
located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC  
source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire  
within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or  
an intrusion.

Recommendations for Proper Protection (cont'd)  
Recommendations for Proper Intrusion Protection  
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every  
possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This  
includes skylights and upper windows in a multi-level building.  
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security  
system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the alarm monitoring  
station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm  
signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an  
alarm monitoring station).

Emergency Evacuation  
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following  
steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:  
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior

path of escape should lead to the door that permits  
normal exit from the building. The other should be

to the ground.

routes free from obstruction and post copies of the  
escape routes in every room.

4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are  
asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering  
while you escape.

5. To determine which escape path to use during a fire,  
first feel the door. If it is hot, check your alternate  
escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be  
prepared to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in.  
6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the floor; do not  
walk upright. Smoke rises and may overcome you.  
Clearer air is near the floor.  
FRONT  
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.  
8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your house, where  
everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for  
those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house —  
many die going back.

Maintaining Your System  
Taking Care of Your System  
The components of your security system are designed to be as  
maintenance-free as possible. However, to make sure that your  
system is in reliable working condition:  
1. Test your system weekly.  
2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see Testin g th e System  
section).  
Replacing Batteries in Wireless Sensors  
Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The  
system detects a low battery in any wireless sensor, including smoke  
detectors, the optional personal emergency transmitter, and the  
optional portable wireless keypad. (The system detects a low battery  
in a portable wireless keypad as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and

responds be displaying  
on the wired keypad.)  
00  
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in  
most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. Three-volt  
lithium batteries provide up to 4 or more years of operation. Actual  
battery life depends on the environment in which the sensor is used,  
the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has to send,  
and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as humidity, high or low  
temperatures, or large swings in temperature may all lead to the  
reduction of actual battery life in an installation.  
If you have a low battery in a wireless sensor, the keypad displays a  
message. In addition, a battery-operated smoke  
LOW BATTERY  
detector with  
a
low battery emits  
a
single "chirp" sound  
approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the  
smoke detector with the weak battery.  
The  
message comes on as a warning that

NOTE :  
battery replacement in the indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days.  
In the meantime, the sensor causing the low-battery indication is still

Routine Care  
Treat the components of your security system as you would any  
other electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or  
windows.  
Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective  
sensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors.  
The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft

Glossary  
The following terms are used throughout the manual.  
"Armed" simply means that the burglary portion of your system  
is turned ON and is in a state of readiness. "Disarmed" means  
that the burglary system is turned OFF, and must be re-armed  
to become operational. However, even in a "disarmed" state,  
"emergency" and "fire" portions of your system are still  
operational.  
ARM/DISARM:  
This is the area on your keypad containing numbered  
pushbuttons similar to those on telephones or calculators. These  
keys control the arming and disarming of the system, and  
perform other functions described in this manual.  
KEYPAD:  
A specific area of protection.  
ZONE:  
To disarm a specific area of burglary protection while leaving  
other areas operational.  
BYPASS:  
An area of protection containing doors most frequently used to  
enter or exit (typically, a front door, back door, or door from the  
garage into the building). The delay zone allows sufficient time  
for authorized entry or exit without causing an alarm. Consult  
your installer for the entry and exit delay times that have been  
set for your system during installation, and record them in the  
space provided in Entry/exit delays.”  
DELAY ZONE:  
An area of protection whose violation causes a trouble indication  
during the disarmed (DAY) mode and an alarm during the  
armed (NIGHT) mode.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) Part 15 STATEMENT  
This equipment has been tested to FCC requirements and has been found acceptable for use. The  
FCC requires the following statement for your information:  
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly,  
that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio  
and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B  
computing device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed  
to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However,  
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment  
does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the  
following measures:  
If using an indoor antenna, have a quality outdoor antenna installed.  
Re-orient the receiving antenna until interference is reduced or eliminated.  
Move the receiver away from the control/communicator.  
Move the antenna leads away from any wire runs to the control/communicator.  
Plug the control/communicator into a different outlet so that it and the receiver are on different  
branch circuits.  
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for  
additional suggestions.  
The user or installer may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications

WARNING!  
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM  
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection  
against burglary or fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is  
subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example:  
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to  
bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.  
• Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing  
devices will not work without power. Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries,  
with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will  
not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.  
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the  
alarm receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage  
can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.  
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.  
• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United  
States, they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35%  
of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of  
the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows.  
Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not  
sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or  
roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another  
level of a residence or building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or  
basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense  
every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by  
carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper  
storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or  
arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the  
detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all  
occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.  
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can detect intrusion only within the designed ranges as  
diagrammed in their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric  
area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in  
unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes  
place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows.  
Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or  
any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense  
changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of protected area approaches the  
temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection performance can decrease.

WARNING!  
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM (cont'd)  
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if  
they 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 a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, 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.  
Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, 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 and  
transmitters 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.

Department does not guarantee the equipment will  
operate to the user's satisfaction.  
L'étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada  
identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que  
le matériel est conforme à certaines normes de protection,  
d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de  
télécommunications. Le ministère n'assure toutefois pas

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that  
it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the  
local telecommunications company. The equipment must  
also be installed using an acceptable method of  
connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring  
associated with a single-line individual service may be  
extended by means of certified connector assembly  
(telephone extension cord). The customer should be  
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not  
prevent degradation of service in some situations.  
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il  
est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise  
locale de télécommunications. Le matériel doit également  
être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de  
raccordement. Dans certains cas, les fils intérieurs de  
l'entreprise utilisés pour un service individuel à la ligne  
unique peuvent être prolongés au moyen d'un dispositif  
homologué de raccordement (cordon prolongateur  
téléphonique interne). L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il  
est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-  
dessus n'empèchet pas la dégradation du service dans  
certaines situations. Actuellement, les entreprises de  
télécommunications ne permettent pas que l'on raccorde  
leur matériel aux prises d'abonnés, sauf dans les cas  
precis prévus par les tarifs particuliers de ces entreprises.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an  
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by  
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user  
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give  
the telecommunications company cause to request the  
user to disconnect the equipment.  
Les réparations du matériel homologué doivent être  
effectuées pas un centre d'entretien canadien autorisé  
désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the  
electrical ground connections of the power utility,  
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if  
present, are connected together. This precaution may be  
particularly important in rural areas.  
télécommunications peut demander  
à
l'utilisateur de  
débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de  
modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de  
mauvais fonctionnement.  
Caution:  
Users should not attempt to make such  
connections themselves, but should contact the  
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as  
appropriate.  
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que  
tous les fils de mise en terre de la source d'énergie  
électrique, des lignes téléphoniques de réseau de  
conduites d'eau s'il y en a, soient raccordés ensemble.  
Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les  
régions rurales.  
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device  
denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected  
to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to  
prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may  
consist of any combination of devices subject only to the  
requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the  
devices does not exceed 100.  
Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire  
ces raccordements lui-même il doit avoir recours à un  
service d'inspection des installations électriques, ou à un  
électricien, selon le cas.  
L'indice de charge (IC) assigné  
à
chaque dispositif  
terminal pour éviter toute surcharge indique le  
pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être raccordé à  
un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La  
terminaison du circuit bouclé peut être constituée de  
n'importe quelle combinaison de dispositifs, pourvu que la  
somme des indices de charge de l'ensemble des  
dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.

ONE YE AR LIMITE D WAR R ANTY  
Pittway Corporation, and its divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates ("Seller"), 165 Eileen Way, Syosset, New York  
11791, warrants its First Alert security equipment (the "product") to be free from defects in materials and  
workmanship for one year from date of original purchase, under normal use and service. Seller's obligation is  
limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, free of charge for parts, labor, or transportation, any product proven  
to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service. Seller shall have no obligation under  
this warranty or otherwise if the product is altered or improperly repaired or serviced by anyone other than the  
Seller. In case of defect, contact the security professional who installed and maintains your security equipment or  
the Seller for product repair.  
This one year Limited Warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties, obligations or liabilities. THERE ARE  
NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES,  
OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES MADE BY SELLER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PRODUCT, INCLUDING  
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR  
OTHERWISE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL  
PURCHASE. ANY ACTION FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY  
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM DATE OF  
ORIGINAL PURCHASE. IN NO CASE SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL  
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  
OR UPON ANY OTHER BASIS OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED  
BY THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied  
warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or  
exclusion may not apply to you.  
Seller does not represent that the product may not be compromised or circumvented; that the product will prevent  
any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the product will in all cases pro-  
vide adequate warning or protection. Buyer understands that a properly installed and maintained alarm may only  
reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery, fire or other events occurring without providing an alarm, but it is not insur-  
ance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there will be no personal injury or property loss as a result.  
CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJ URY, PROPERTY  
DAMAGE OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. HOWEVER,  
IF SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE  
ARISING UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR ORIGIN,  
SELLER'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE  
PRODUCT, WHICH SHALL BE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER. This  
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. No  
increase or alteration, written or verbal, to this warranty is authorized.
