General Safety Rules

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result in electric shock, fire, property damage and/or serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. This system was designed to provide pro- tection of property only. Do not use this system to provide protection for life safety and from fire. Any use other than that suggested in this instruction manual could cause injury or even death. Not intended for residential use.

WARNING: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Do not use this system in hazardous areas. This may include blasting areas and potentially explosive atmospheres. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. They include but are not limited to fueling areas such as gas stations; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where one would normally be advised to turn off a vehicle engine.

WARNING: FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord or an extension cord that has been worn or damaged could result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

•An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension cord con- tains at least the minimum wire size.

WARNING: BATTERIES – DANGER OF EXPLOSION, INJURY OR FIRE. The Base Unit contains a lead acid battery. Do not incinerate as the battery can explode. The battery cannot be accessed by a user; it is to be replaced and properly disposed of by DEWALT authorized service only. Do not operate the Base Unit in the inverted (upside-down) position. Overcharging in the inverted position may cause battery leakage from the safety valve.

WARNING: BATTERIES – DANGER OF EXPLOSION, INJURY OR FIRE. For the wireless devices, use only type CR-123(CR-2 for Key Chain Remote) 3.0 Volt Li+ non-rechargeable batteries as specified by DEWALT. Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.

•Always insert batteries correctly with regard to the polarity (+ and -) marked on the battery and the equipment. Never use a damaged or worn out battery.

•Never expose the battery terminals to any other metal object. This can short circuit the battery.

•Avoid exposure to temperature extremes. When not in use, store the battery in a cool, dark, dry place.

•Keep batteries out of reach of children.

•The battery is a self-contained unit. Do not attempt to open.

•Never dispose of a battery in a fire. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle batteries. Do not attempt to recharge batteries.

CAUTION: POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE. Use only the DEWALT power supplies marked for use with this equipment. If the cord is missing or damaged, replace only with the DEWALT power supply specified for this equipment to avoid product damage

CAUTION: POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE. This equipment is supplied with a wall mount power supply designed specifically to operate on 120V 60Hz. Replace only with the DEWALT power supply specified for this unit.

CAUTION: POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE. Do not use near water. Damage to the equipment may occur. Equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the equipment.

CAUTION: POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE. Do not operate with a damaged power supply cord or plug. Damage to the equipment may occur. Protect the power supply cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the Base Unit. Do not pull on cords or cables. When unplugging the cord from an electrical outlet, grasp and pull the cord by the plug or wall mount housing. If a cord or plug is damaged, have it replaced immediately.

CAUTION: POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE. To avoid potential damage caused by a power surge, utilize a surge protector for both the power supply and telephone connection.

CAUTION: POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE. To ensure proper operation, this equipment must be installed according to the enclosed installation instruc- tions. To verify that the equipment is working properly and can successfully report an alarm, this equipment must be tested immediately after installation and periodically there- after according to the test instructions.

Important Notices

•This product is not user serviceable. There are no user serviceable parts inside the product. Servicing at a DEWALT authorized service center is required to avoid damage to static sensitive internal components. Unauthorized service will void the warranty.

•The Base Unit is for indoor use only. All wireless devices, unless specifically noted, are intended for indoor use.

•Only use sensors, Mounting Brackets, and accessories specified by DEWALT. Use of others may be incompatible and interfere with system operation.

•Clean only with a dry cloth.

•Although the noise level and duration of the chime and siren are below OSHA limits, the loud noise from the sirens and chimes may startle people on the site.

Limitations of System

Although this system is designed as a security system, it does not guarantee protection against burglary or other emergencies. Any alarm system is subject to compromise or fail- ure-to-warn for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the following:

•An intruder may gain access through unprotected openings. An intruder with criminal intent, technical knowledge or jamming devices may bypass the system.

•This system will not operate without power. The equipment is primarily powered by AC and utilizes a battery as back-up power. If the AC power supply is off and the back-up battery is uncharged, the equipment will not operate.

•The wireless devices for this system, such as sensors and remotes, are powered by non-rechargeable batteries. If the batteries are missing, installed incorrectly or dead, the battery-operated devices will not function properly.
