Suggestions to Prevent False Alarms:

1. Be sure you know how to properly operate system
2. If others such as cleaning personnel, children, etc. are arriving after alarm has been set, be sure that they also know how to properly turn off alarm or have a security pass code.
3. Establish a procedure with your alarm company to call the residence or business first before calling the police and have a password set up. If this is established, it should be understood that a delay in police response will offer in a real emergency situation.

Always remember that when an alarm is received the police will respond regardless of any additional calls received. This is for your protection.
