How to Avoid False Alarms
Numerous false alarms can affect the quality of your monitoring service. They can also result in fines from your local municipality. To avoid false alarms, follow these simple tips: 1. Be sure that everyone in your house knows how to use the alarm system. Everyone should know a user code and the code word. You can use the interactive keypad at www.mybrinks.com to practice turning the system on and off without causing an alarm. 2. If you cause an alarm accidentally, cancel it by entering your user code and pressing the CANCEL key. (See page 13.) 3. Test the system every week, following the instructions beginning on page 22. If you discover any problems, promptly notify Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. 4. If there was an alarm on the system, and you do not know why it happened, contact Brink’s Customer Care immediately. You may also review the system’s alarm history at www.mybrinks.com. 5. If you are going to do any kind of work at your home that will create a large amount of dust, (such as fumigation), completely cover the system’s motion detectors and smoke/heat detectors. Be sure to remove the covers when you are finished. 6. If you know that the motion detector is causing false alarms, you can still turn the system on, while the motion detector is turned off. See the instructions on page 9 (Turning the System On with Motions Turned Off Mode). Promptly notify Brink’s Customer Care to correct the problem. 7. If you get an indoor pet after the system is installed, contact Brink’s Customer Care. The system’s motion detector may need to be adjusted so that your pet does not cause a false alarm. 8. Motion detectors can detect the movement of balloons, plants, curtains, and other common household objects. Be sure that air currents cannot move these items into the area covered by the motion detector. 9. Notify Brink’s before you sell or rent out your home, so that we can teach the new residents how to use the system. Visit our website
3

at www.mybrinks.com to get more information about our Customer Move Program. 10. Take care when cooking or lighting a fire in the fireplace. Excessive smoke from these activities can cause false alarms.

The Brink’s Home Security System
Standard Equipment The master control panel is housed in a metal box. It is mounted in an out-of-the-way location, such as a closet. The master control panel processes the information sent to it by the system’s sensors and keypad. It also contains a battery that allows the system to operate during a power failure. When an alarm occurs, the master control panel sends a message over the telephone line to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. Do not open the master control panel unless a Brink’s representative instructs you to do so.

Master Control Panel

The keypad is mounted on the wall, near an entry/exit door. You can use it to turn the system on and off, and to change other system options. Keypads come in Premium and Standard styles (see pages 2 and 3.)
Keypad (Premium Style Shown)

You can also use the keypad’s emergency panic buttons to signal a fire, medical, or police emergency. (See page 5 for more information or review the Keypad Functions information at www.mybrinks.com.)

Door/ Window Sensors

One sensor is placed in or on the frame and body of each door or window that is protected. If the door or window is opened while the system is on, an alarm sounds. An alarm signal is sent to the Brink’s Monitoring Center.

4

Standard Equipment This sensor is mounted on the wall, inside your home. The sensor can detect when someone is moving within its field of view. If the system is on at the time a person is detected, the system sends an alarm signal to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. The siren is a small plastic box, mounted inside your home. When an alarm occurs, the siren sounds a warning, designed to frighten off intruders. The siren may also sound when you use some of the system’s special features.

Motion Detector

Siren

The power transformer is plugged into an outlet near the master control panel. It provides electrical power to the system.
If you should notice that the transformer is

unplugged, plug it back in immediately.

This device connects the security system to the telephone line in your home. It is located near or inside the master control panel. This makes it possible for the system to send alarm signals over the telephone lines to the Brink’s Monitoring Center.
Telephone Jack

Do not remove the dialer cable from the jack unless a Brink’s representative or this manual instructs you to do so. The highly visible sign and stickers warn potential intruders that your home is protected by a Brink’s Home Security system. You will be provided with one sign and several stickers.

Yard Sign and Window Stickers

Optional Equipment This device detects smoke and dangerously high temperatures. It is mounted in a central location of the house, on the ceiling. Smoke/heat detectors are not available for commercial installations.
Smoke/Heat Detector

Heat Sensor

This device detects when the temperature near the sensor is dangerously high. It is mounted in a central location of the house, on the ceiling. Heat sensors are not available for commercial installations.

This small detector is mounted near any large expanse of glass (windows or doors) in your home. It identifies the sound of breaking glass.
Glass Breakage Detector

The SmartKey™ is a small remote-control device for the security system. The four buttons on the device can be used to turn the system on and off, and to do other specialized functions, like trigger an emergency alarm.
SmartKey

Telephone Control Module

The optional Telephone Control Module allows you to control the security system from any touch-tone telephone, whether you are at home or across the country. You can check the system’s status while on vacation, or trigger an emergency alarm from your bedroom. The Telephone Control Module is also a helpful feature for visually-impaired users who may have difficulty using a traditional keypad.

6

Optional Features If your telephone line is cut, the optional line cut feature notifies you. If the system is on, the siren sounds. If the system is off, the keypad beeps and displays a trouble message. Because a line cut results in a loss of telephone service, this event is not reported to the Brink’s Monitoring Center.
Line Cut

Pager/Latchkey

The optional pager/latchkey feature notifies you that your children have arrived home safely when you are away. When your child turns the system on or off, you receive a page on your pager. You can also receive pages for other system events, like alarms or power loss.

For information about any of these products or services, visit www.mybrinks.com or call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. Customer Care is ready to help you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Parts of the Keypad

2

3

Status Display (Standard Keypad) The illustration below shows the functions of the keypad’s lights.

Message Window (Premium Keypad) The Premium Keypad communicates with you by lighting the words and phrases in the message window. The words that make up the message may be on different lines, or separated by other words. For example, while you are changing an auxiliary user code, you will see the following message window:

The words “ENTER” and “NEW CODE” are lit. This means that you should enter the new user code.

4

Emergency Keys If you are home when a police, medical, or fire emergency arises, you can alert the Brink’s Monitoring Center of your situation with a single press of an emergency key. The system does not need to be on. (Not all emergency buttons are available to all commercial customers.) The table shows what purpose each key serves, and what happens when it is pressed. (Depending upon how the system is programmed, you may need to press the emergency key twice within three seconds to signal an emergency alarm.)
Emergency Fire Press This happens The siren sounds and a signal is sent to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. Brink’s calls the fire department, and then calls you to verify the alarm. (This procedure may vary in some jurisdictions.)

Medical

The keypad beeps and a signal is sent to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. Brink’s calls you to verify the alarm. If for any reason you do not answer that call, Brink’s calls emergency personnel.

Police

The siren sounds and a signal is sent to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. Brink’s calls you to verify the alarm. If for any reason you do not answer that call, Brink’s calls emergency personnel.

CALL 911 FIRST
If your community provides 911 Emergency service, and you are able to reach a telephone during the emergency, Brink’s recommends that you call 911 before pressing the emergency key. This gives you the fastest access to emergency services. If you press an emergency key accidentally, cancel the alarm by pressing the CANCEL key, and entering your user code. (For more information about canceling alarms, see page 13, or review the Reduce False Alarms information at www.mybrinks.com.)

Using The Keypad The Brink’s Home Security system in your home may have a Standard Keypad, or a Premium Keypad. Both types of keypads can be used to turn the system on or off, or to test or customize it. For some procedures, the keypads’ commands are slightly different. In those cases, this manual contains two sets of instructions, like those shown below. If you are using a Standard Keypad, follow the instructions on the left. If you are using a Premium Keypad, follow the instructions on the right.

If the keypad looks like this:

User Codes
When the system is installed, you select a code number to turn the system on and off. This is your master user code, and it may be three or four digits long. To change this code, contact Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. You can create a separate auxiliary user code for anyone who needs access to your home. See page 19 for more information. You can change or delete the auxiliary code whenever you like. If you have questions about the system’s user codes, visit our website or contact Brink’s Customer Care.

Entering and Exiting
Designated Doors The designated entry/exit doors are those doors that you must use to enter and leave your home while the system is on. These doors may be equipped with the door sensors described on page 4. If you use a different door to enter your home, an alarm may sound. Entry Delay When you enter your home while the security system is on, the keypad beeps. This beeping reminds you to turn the system off. You must enter your user code before the beeping stops. In most systems, that delay is 40 seconds long. If you do not enter your code before the delay ends, an alarm is triggered. Exit Delay When you turn the system on in normal mode, you must exit the building and close the door before the exit delay ends. For most systems, the exit delay is 80 seconds; however, that number may vary if local agency or regulator restrictions apply. Once that delay has ended, you will trigger an alarm if you open a protected door or window, or move past a motion detector. Note: The length of the system’s entry and exit delays can be adjusted (within certain limits). If you find it difficult to enter or exit your home

7

before the delay ends, contact Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 to have it changed.

Turning the System On
The Four On Modes You can arm the Brink’s Home Security system in four different ways: 1) normal mode; 2) motion off; 3) motions off with delay doors instant; and 4) delay doors instant. The illustration below helps you choose which mode to use.

27

No AC Power Indication What it means: The electrical power to the system has been interrupted. Instead, the system is drawing power from its backup battery. The battery can provide power to the system for up to four hours. What to do: 1. If you have no power to your home, wait for the electrical power to be restored. Once this happens, the system automatically switches back to its electrical source. The backup battery recharges for the next 24 hours. 2. If you have power to your home, check the power transformer to ensure that it is properly plugged in. (See page 5 for more information about the power transformer.) If this solves the problem, stop. Otherwise, continue to the next step. 3. Check the breaker box. If any breakers are in the OFF position, move the breaker switch to ON. If this solves the problem, stop. Otherwise, continue to the next step. 4. Look for a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the outlet, or on a nearby outlet. The GFCI should look similar to the one shown in the picture. If the red reset button juts out from the outlet, push it back into place. If this solves the problem, stop. Otherwise, continue to the next step.

28

5. Unplug the power transformer. It may be screwed in place; if so, remove the screw. Plug a small appliance into the outlet to verify the outlet is working properly. If it is, continue to the next step. If the outlet is not working properly, contact an electrician to repair it. Use an extension cord to plug the system’s power transformer into another outlet, until the faulty one is repaired. 6. If none of these steps resolve the problem, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800–445-0872.

Low Battery Indication What it means: The system’s backup battery is low. If there has not been a power outage at your home recently, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 for assistance. If there has been a recent power failure, follow the instructions below. What to do: 1. If you wish to silence the keypad’s beeping, press the CANCEL key. 2. Once power to your home is restored, wait 24 hours for the battery to recharge. 3. If the trouble condition returns after 24 hours, the battery is not recharging properly. Call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 for assistance. Note: if the system appears to have no power (the keypad does not light or respond to your commands), call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 for assistance.

If there is no dial tone, remove the dialer cable from the telephone jack. This disconnects the system from the telephone line. It will not be able to send an alarm signal to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. Check your telephone for a dial tone. If the dial tone returns, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 for assistance.

3.

4.

If there is no dial tone, plug the dialer cable back into the telephone jack. Contact your telephone company for service. Until the telephone service is repaired, no alarm signals will be sent to Brink’s. However, the system should still work within your home. For your protection, it is very important that you resolve this problem quickly.

30

Line Cut Indication (Optional Feature) What it means: The telephone service to the security system has been interrupted. The system cannot send an alarm signal to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. What you’ll notice: Less than one minute after the line cut occurs, the siren sounds or the keypad beeps, depending on whether the system is on or off. What to do: 1. To silence the keypad’s beeping, press the CANCEL key. 2. If the siren is sounding, silence it by entering your code. 3. Check your telephone for a dial tone. If there is no telephone service, contact your telephone company. 4. If there is a dial tone, ensure that the system’s telephone cable is securely plugged into the telephone jack. If it is not, plug it in.

5. If the cable is plugged in, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800–445-0872. Customer Care is ready to help you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Vacuum once every three months

If You Trigger an Alarm while Cleaning the Detector If the dust from your vacuum cleaner triggers an alarm and the siren sounds, do the following: 1. Enter your user code.

2. Press the CANCEL key. 3. Finish vacuuming the detector. If the keypad is beeping and the message window reads TROUBLE, wait 30 minutes for the system to reset. 4. If you wish to silence the keypad’s beeping for the next four hours, press the CANCEL key. 5. If the detector does not reset after 30 minutes, the message window reads “TROUBLE, CALL 1-800-445-0872” and the keypad beeps. Call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872.

Service the Detector Every Two Years Every two years, you should contact Brink’s Customer Care to schedule a visit to service the smoke detector. During this call, Brink’s does a more thorough cleaning and testing of the detector.
33

Setting the Clock
The numeric display of your Premium Keypad may show the time of day. You do not need to set the clock; it adjusts itself automatically every few months. However, if the time is incorrect, you can correct it by pressing and holding the 0 key for ten seconds. The keypad’s display goes blank for ten seconds, and then the system makes a brief telephone call to Brink’s, obtains the actual time, and resets the clock. While the system is making this short call, you will not be able to use your telephone.

Clock, Premium Keypad

Emergency Evacuation Plans
An emergency evacuation plan helps to ensure that you and your family escape from your home safely in the event of a fire. Use these guidelines from the National Fire Protection Association to prepare your own emergency evacuation plan. 1. Draw up a floor plan of your building, like the one shown. Show any part of the building—the windows, doors, rooftops—that can be used as an escape route.

34

Find at least two ways to escape from each room. One will be the door leading to the normal exit. Another may be a window that opens easily. If the window is high off the ground, you may need to install an escape ladder nearby. Identify a place outdoors where everyone is to meet after leaving the building. 2. Review the escape plan with everyone who lives in your home and practice escape procedures. 3. To increase the time you will have to escape a fire, sleep with your bedroom door closed. If you suspect a fire, touch the door. Do not open the door if it feels hot. If it does not, brace your shoulder against the door and open it slowly. Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat rush in. Leave the building quickly and call the fire department from a neighbor’s telephone, or from your cellular telephone. In the event of a fire, the best way to ensure the safety of your family is to get the earliest possible warning. This is best achieved by installing fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the house. This includes: • a smoke detector installed outside of each of the bedrooms • heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallways, attic, furnace room, closets, utility and storage rooms, basement, and garage. This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72.

Questions and Answers

General Use of the System 1. How can I avoid false alarms? Take a look at the tips on page 3. If you have any further questions, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. Customer Care is available to help you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 2. Do I need an alarm permit? Alarm permit ordinances vary from area to area. Please contact your local emergency agencies, or your city or county government to determine if a permit is needed in your area. It is your responsibility to get the permit, pay the fees, and inform Brink’s of your permit number. If you do not have a permit, emergency agencies may choose not to respond to an alarm at your home. In addition, false alarm fines are generally much higher for systems lacking permits. 3. How often should I test the system? You should test the system once a week. Follow the test instructions beginning on page 22 of this manual. 4. Should I clean the smoke/heat detector? Yes. Follow the instructions on page 13. 5. What happens if I add DSL (digital subscriber line) service to my home? Converting your telephone line to a high-speed data format like DSL can affect the ability of the system to report alarm conditions to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. See page 42 for more information.

36

Codes and Code Words 1. Can my master code number be changed? Yes. Notify Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 to set up the change. Customer Care is ready to help you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A service charge will be assessed for this request. 2. How do I change my master code word? The same person who signed the Protective Service Agreement must send a written request to Brink’s before the master code word can be changed. The written request must identify the account, the current master code word, the new master code word, and the writer’s signature. The request should be mailed to: Brink’s Home Security, Customer Care Department, 8880 Esters Boulevard, Irving, TX 75063. The new code word must be three to five characters in length. If there is an immediate need to change your master code word, call Brink’s Customer Care to obtain Brink’s fax number. 3. I’m planning to go away on vacation. Should I notify Brink’s of my plans? Yes. You can do this by filling out the My Vacation Notes form at www.mybrinks.com or by calling Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. Brink’s will need to know when you plan to leave, and when you will return, as well as who to contact in the case of an emergency. Your emergency contact may be asked to go to the house to secure it, or to meet the police at the house in the event of an emergency. Be sure that this person has a set of house keys, and knows a user code and a code word. 4. If I go away on vacation, should I give my master code to my neighbor who takes care of the house? It is best not to give out your master code or code word. Instead, you can program an auxiliary code for your neighbor to use. See the instructions on page on page 19. You can also add an auxiliary code word by calling Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. Be sure to give your emergency contact(s) a telephone number where you can be reached while you are away.

37

Alarms and Emergencies 1. If there is an alarm, does the system reset? Yes, as long as there are no additional alarms after the system stops sounding. The system resets itself approximately five minutes later. However, if a fire alarm is activated, the siren will sound continuously until you enter your user code. 2. What happens if my telephone line is cut? If you purchased the optional Line Cut feature, the siren sounds or the keypad beeps within about a minute of the time the line was cut. The system can still sound an audible alarm but the Monitoring Center will not receive an alarm signal until the line is restored. You can also equip the system with an optional backup device that is designed to send a signal if the telephone service is interrupted. Contact Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 for more information. 3. If the power goes out at my house, will my alarm system still work? Yes. The system has a battery that can provide back-up power for up to four hours. Once the electrical power to your home is restored, the battery recharges automatically. Like all batteries, this battery will eventually need to be replaced. To replace the battery, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 to schedule a service call. If you purchased an extended service plan, there will be no charge for this service. Emergency Contacts 1. Who should I list as an emergency contact? You should list people who live fairly close to you and who usually know where you are and how to contact you. Ideally, at least one of your contacts should have keys to your house and permission to authorize service in your absence. You can change your list of emergency contacts by logging on to the

38

Update My Alarm Contacts List at www.mybrinks.com or by calling Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. 2. What should I tell my emergency contacts? First of all, be sure to tell them that they are one of your emergency contacts. Tell them that, after the emergency agencies are notified, Brink’s may attempt to reach them when there is an alarm at your house. Discuss what action you would like them to take if this happens. You should also tell your emergency contacts if they have your permission to authorize service of the system in your absence. On occasion, representatives of an emergency agency may ask your emergency contact to meet them at the house with the house keys. Emergency contacts, however, should never attempt to investigate an alarm independent of the authorities. 3. How do I change my emergency contacts? Log on to the Update My Alarm Contacts List at www.mybrinks.com or call Brink’s Customer Care. Be prepared to give your code word and provide the updated information. Financial Questions 1. Who pays false alarms fines? Because the vast majority of false alarms are outside of Brink’s control, we require you to be responsible for all of your false alarm fines. 2. What if I move within the initial term of my contract? You may have the system moved to another residence, provided we service the area and you pay the applicable move charge. The new owner of the home may take over the system by signing a new agreement and paying our current reprogramming fee. This will release your from the remaining contract obligations. If the new owner does not wish to take over the system, and you do not choose to move the system, you will be responsible for the original contractual obligation.

39

3. Do I own the system? If you paid the connection fee only, Brink’s owns the alarm system. If you paid the additional purchase charge, you own the system. If you purchased the system, your installation work order will show a separate “Purchase Fee” of usually an additional $500. 4. Will I receive a discount on my insurance for having a security system installed? Most homeowner’s policies offer discounts to policy holders with security systems. Contact your insurance company for more information. The Certificate of Installation that your installer provided can be used to provide proof to your insurance company that the installation took place. 5. How do I receive credit for referring another customer? If you refer a new customer to Brink’s, and that customer has a Brink’s Home Security system installed, you will receive one month of monitoring free. Please have the person you referred write your name and telephone number in the space provided at the bottom of their contract. Contact Brink’s Customer Care at www.mybrinks.com or call 1-800-445-0872. Your account will be credited within 60 days of the installation date. 6. What taxes do I have to pay? Taxes vary from region to region. Most states require the collection of a sales tax on the equipment you purchase. Some states require an additional service tax on the installation, monitoring, and repair services you receive. Also, unless you own Protective Equipment, Brink’s will bill you once a year for the property tax assessed by your local taxing authority. This tax is generally less than $15. 7. Do I pay for service calls and repairs? Repair service during the first 90 days is free of charge. After the first 90 days, we charge for labor. If you prefer, you can purchase a service plan from Brink’s, to continue to receive free repairs after the first 90 days. Normal service hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. A premium rate is charged for service calls on weekends, holidays, or after hours.

40

Repairs and Upgrades 1. Can I make an appointment for a service call? Our service center schedules service calls for the morning or afternoon of a specific day. Morning service calls occur between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Afternoon calls occur between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM. 2. Can I have additional equipment installed at a later date? Yes, additional equipment may be installed. You will be charged for the installation and for the service call. If you choose to have the equipment installed initially, however, you will not be charged for a service call. You can learn more about the wide variety of additional equipment that is available at www.mybrinks.com. Additional Questions? If you have other questions about the system, please contact Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 or write: Brink’s Home Security Customer Care Department 8880 Esters Boulevard Irving, TX 75063 www.mybrinks.com
