About Your Security System

Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give you the greatest possible flexibility and convenience. To fully benefit from the features of your security system, you should read this manual and the Instruction Manual provided with your system very carefully. Have your installer instruct you on system operation and on which features have been activated on your system. All users of the system should be instructed on its use. Fill out the System Information page in your Security System Instruction Manual and store it and the manual in a safe place for future reference.

Important Note

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and, if included, a monitoring station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on system operation.
