What to do when the alarm goes off:
The first reaction, on hearing your alarm is panic.
Obviously, if an alarm is ringing there’s a problem
and probably a big one. This isn’t necessarily true.
But it’s still human nature to get startled by an
alarm and think the worst. Here are a few sample
tips on what to do when your alarm goes off:
1. Stay calm; don’t panic.
2. Determine if there really is a fire or an intruder.
3. Turn off your system by carefully entering
the 4- digit of your user code.
4. Maxguard Alarms will not call if you cancel
your alarm within the allotted delay period.
5. Otherwise be ready to identify yourself with the
system number and passcard number/password.
