False Alarm Prevention (cont’d) 
Statistics verify that more than 75% of all false alarms are caused by 
alarm system operators 
Of these, at least 7 out of 10 are simple errors made by a user while turning 
the system on or off or when leaving or entering the building. Other typical 
causes are: 
•  Entering an area or opening a door or window whose protection has been 
turned on. 
•  Animals or large insects roaming through areas with protection turned 
on. 
False alarms on fire-monitored systems are typically caused by burning food, 
heavy smoking in a room, or steam from a shower. 
Working as a team, you and ADT must have a goal of zero false alarms 
In many cities, the municipal government and police department are 
attempting to make alarm system users more aware of their responsibility to 
reduce false alarms by: 
•  Requiring permits for alarm system users issued by licensed security 
companies. 
•  Charging fines for multiple false alarms and, in some areas, escalating 
fines if false alarms persist. 
•  Refusing to respond to an alarm when the rate of false alarm signals 
remains high. 
You must help eliminate false alarms 
By installing this dependable, state-of-the-art FOCUS
 200 PLUS system, 
which is monitored by ADT Security Systems, you have already taken the 
first step.
