Congratulations on your purchase of a
new Deadbolt-Activated NAPCO Freedom
Security System. This revolutionary new
concept in residential security makes using
your system easier than ever before possible,
because the system uses its computerized
control panel to continually monitor the
status of your entry door (and deadbolt). It
actually anticipates what command it should
expect from you next--simply requiring just
one button to press to effortlessly operate
your security system, whether you’re going,
returning or staying in for the night.
Now everyone in your family, young and
old alike, will enjoy the true peace-of-mind
you would expect from a quality, state-of-the-
art Security System, without the fuss of re-
membering confusing numerical codes to
operate it.
Simplicity and convenience begin with
your System’s one-touch STAY or AWAY but-
tons, then just lock or unlock the door as
usual! Day in and day out, that’s all there is
to it.
This booklet contains important infor-
mation about the operation of your
NAPCO Freedom Security System. Please
read it through and retain it for handy
reference. Because your system is custom-
ized for your home and lifestyle, you may
find subjects mentioned here, that don’t ap-
ply to your system. Rest assured your secu-
rity system has been configured by your Se-
curity Professional to best suit you and the
system itself has been meticulously designed
and engineered to the highest industry stan-
dards.
Please test your system at least once a
week as described below.
INTRODUCTION
1Test your siren and central station communicator:
Hold Down the BYPASS button for 4 seconds (until the F-
TPBR Touchpad beeps). The system will generate a
test report to central station and two momentary chirps
of the siren.
• If the siren does not sound or sounds week, call for service.
• If the system indicates a low battery system trouble (trouble light TBL
flashing 2 times), call for service.
• If the system indicates a communication failure system trouble (TBL
flashing 3 times), call for service. (The communication failure system
trouble may take a few minutes to appear).
A subsequent press of the DISARM/SILENCE button will silence the trouble
indication.
2Test your motion sensors and other protective devices:
Hold Down the BYPASS button for 8 seconds (until the second hold-down
beep).
• Walk through the areas protected by motion sensors. The F-TPBR
Touchpad will beep when the zone is violated and again when the zone
is restored.
• Open and close all protected doors and windows and listen for the corre-
sponding F-TPBR Touchpad beeps.
After testing the protective devices, the F-TPBR Touchpad ARMED indica-
tor will flash out the zone number of all zones which have been activated.
Press the DISARM/SILENCE button to clear the display and end the test.
If any devices fail to respond when activated or register on the F-TPBR
Touchpad display as described above, call for service.
IMPORTANT - TEST YOUR SYSTEM WEEKLY
From a Ready Condition (Disarmed State)

FIRE PROTECTION
Preparing a Fire Escape Plan
Even with the most advanced
fire alarm system, adequate
protection requires an escape plan.
To prepare your plan, draw floor
plans of your building. Show two
exits - a front or back door and a
window from each room. (Make
sure the window works. You may
need a special fire-escape ladder if
the window is high up). Write down
your outside meeting place.
Family Rehearsal
Rehearse each of the following
activities:
1. Everyone in his room with the
doors closed.
2. One person sounds the alarm.
3. Each person tests his door.
4. Pretend the door is hot and use
the alternate escape exit.
5. Everyone meets outdoors at
the assigned location.
Important! - Read Carefully
Discuss these escape procedures
with all those who use the building:
1. In a residence, sleep with the
bedroom door closed. A closed
door will hold back deadly smoke
while you escape.
2. When the fire alarm signals,
escape quickly. Do not stop to
pack.
3. Test the door. If it is hot, use
your alternate route through the
window. If the door is cool, brace
your shoulder against it and open
it cautiously. Be ready to slam
the door if smoke or heat rushes
in. Crawl through smoke, holding
your breath. Close the doors
again on leaving to help prevent
the fire from spreading.
4. Go to your specific outdoor
meeting place so you can see
that everyone is safe.
5. Assign someone to make sure
nobody returns to the burning
building.
6. Call the Fire Department from a
neighbor's telephone.

WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire or other
emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of rea-
sons. For example:
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or
disconnect an alarm warning device.
• Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without
power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly.
Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the
signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation
manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection,
and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that
takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, mask-
ing, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection
ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of protected area ap-
proaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection performance can decrease.
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other
side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the premises, then they are less likely to
alert all people. Persons may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appli-
ance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people.
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to an alarm monitoring center may be out of service
or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.

WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM (Cont'd)
• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect them-
selves from the situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.
• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as
long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm
system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.
Wireless transmitters (used with some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Lon-
gevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being
used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the ac-
tual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to
arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system.
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.
Business owners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure
their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their employees
to learn about these developments.
