LIMITATIONS STATEMENT
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal objects 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 somehow blocks the signal path. Wireless button type transmitters that have visual and audible indications of status must be used to confirm that the desired action (such as arming) has occurred after pressing a function button on any of these transmitters. Be sure to listen for appropriate audible and visual indications that such action has occurred. Otherwise, you could inadvertently leave yourself or your premises unprotected. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, or constant activation of a programmed button may reduce battery life in a given installation. If the button unit is used infrequently, activate it regularly (once per week) to confirm operation. A button type transmitter will report a low battery condition to the alarm control when a low battery status is detected. FOR WARRANTY INFORMATION AND FOR DETAILS REGARDING THE LIMITATIONS OF THE ENTIRE ALARM SYSTEM, REFER TO THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RECEIVER/CONTROL WITH WHICH THIS DEVICE IS USED.
