Fire Safety
Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most fire related
deaths occur at night when the occupants suffocate in their sleep from
smoke and deadly gases, rather than fi'om bums. To help reduce this
risk, the following three-step program should be implemented:
1. Minimize fire hazards around the home. Smoking in bed,
cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving
children home alone, and unsafe Holiday decorations are
some of the more common causes of household fire.
2. Install a fire warning system. The primary purpose of this
system is to protect lives, not property, by giving the earliest
possible warning of the danger. In the event of a fire, the
alarm system generates a loud intermittent tone distinctly
different than a burglar alarm.

In homes with more than one sleeping area a smoke detector
(indicated by an inverted "s" in a circle) should be provided to
protect each area.
3. Plan and practice an escape plan. A fire alarm warning may
be wasted unless the family has planned for a quick
evacuation. Because there may be very little time between
detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly, it is
important that every member of the family understand
exactly what to do.

Possible escape routes through

Primary and alternate escape
routes should be established.
Since stairwells and hallways may be blocked during a fire,
exiting through a bedroom window at night should be an essential
part of the escape plan. If the sleeping area is above the ground
floor, provide a means for safely descending outside the building if
one does not already exist.
As part of this plan, all family members should arrange to meet
at a predetermined location away from the house (such as a
neighbors), to verify that all are accounted for.

Case of Fire
The primary purpose of a fire warning system is to protect
lives. In the event of a fire alarm, quickly leave the building and
call the fire department fi'om a neighbor's or public telephone.
If it is determined the alarm was accidentally tripped, the bell
should be silenced, the detectors reset and your alarm
company notified immediately of the situation. -j
The Command Center
Your security system helps to secure life, property, and
investments against fire, theft, and bodily harm. The Command
Center is an advanced digital arming station that offers a variety
of features unavailable with any other system. Function,
versatility, and ease of operation make the Command Center the
ideal system for the home or office.
With custom programming, the Command Center is tailored to
meet your individual needs. For easy identification, each area of
your property can be given its own code number which
corresponds to the numeric display indicators of the Command
Center. The Command mode allows you to perform a variety of
functions with maximum simplicity — only the touch of two or
three keys is required to control almost every feature on the
Command Center. Three function keys allow common commands
to be performed with the touch of just one kdy.
The Command Center — putting the control of your security
system right at your fingertips.
Maintenance and Service
The Command Center requires very little maintenance, however,
the system should be tested weekly to insure early detection of a
need for service. A test schedule and maintenance program can be
arranged with your alarm compnay. If a change in operation is
noticed during normal use or testing, call for service as soon as
possible. Do not attempt to repair the control panel, arming
stations, or detectors yourself.
