Additional Information
Mule Security offers customers easy to follow tips and workable solutions on the prevention of false alarms in residences and businesses.
What causes a false alarm?
- Unlocked or loose doors
- Wandering pets
- Kids, neighbors, relatives, visitors, repairmen, etc.
- User Error
- Balloons
- Leaving cooking appliance unattended
Before you arm your system
- Securely close and lock all protected doors and windows.
- If you are leaving your home or business, make sure the door you leave by is closed tight.
- Keep pets, fans, heaters, decorations, etc. away from motion sensor areas.
- Know and rehearse the process to cancel an accidental alarm. Anyone with your key should know this process.
- Be aware of your exit and entry delay times (normally between 30 and 60 seconds).
Know what to do if you set off your alarm by accident
- First, don’t panic. There is time. Enter your disarm code to reset your system. If you need to reenter your code, press # first. Remember, if there were a burglar, he or she would not know your code. Do not write it by the keypad.
- Wait for Affiliated Monitoring to call; be prepared to give your pass code or password. This is usually different from your disarm code. Be sure to follow all procedures established by the monitoring station.
