The system must only be used in conjunction with fully-operational interconnected UL certified alarm/detectors, and in strict accordance with the installation and operational instruction. Customer is responsible to ensure that any and all smoke or fire or carbon monoxide detectors used in conjunction with the system are installed, maintained and tested in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.

Telephone calls from Fire Alert to Customer may be placed using automated technology to which Customer consents. Before Fire Alert may contact the Customer by phone, the Customer must give Fire Alert express written consent. This consent is not implied by these Terms and Conditions, and this consent is not required to make a purchase.
  19. System Information and Disclaimer.Customer acknowledges and understands that the system does not detect the presence of smoke, heat or fire, rather, it relies solely on the detection of an audio alarm signal generated by an existing smoke, fire or carbon monoxide alarm or detector in close proximity to the Audio Sensor. The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Audio Sensor is designed to detect a standard, temporal alarm audible signal pattern from an alarm sounder (such as a smoke, carbon monoxide, heat, or fire detector) and wirelessly transmit a signal to a compatible communication gateway which, if connected to a Monitoring Facility, will transmit a signal to such central monitoring station. The Audio Sensor is powered by a battery, WHICH MUST BE REPLACED AS NECESSARY. The Audio Sensor must only be used in conjunction with UL certified smoke or carbon monoxide detectors, and in strict accordance with the operation instructions provided with such wireless Audio Sensor or provided online in the Fire Alert’s website or apps. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Audio Sensor detector and the smoke or carbon monoxide detectors used in conjunction with the Audio Sensor are maintained and tested on a regular basis in accordance with all manufacturers’ Instructions. The Audio Sensor will not function if the battery is low or fails, or in situations where a fire causes electrical failure before the audible signal pattern is detected. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE OF THE AUDIO SENSOR TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF SMOKE, HEAT, OR FIRE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF ANY SMOKE, HEAT, OR FIRE DETECTOR USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AUDIO SENSOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY DUE TO ANY CONDITION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPROPER INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, OR TESTING OF SUCH SMOKE, HEAT, OR FIRE DETECTOR, OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON. YOU MUST REPLACE BATTERIES INSIDE THE AUDIO SENSOR DETECTOR AS NEEDED. THE WIRELESS AUDIO SENSOR IS NOT DESIGNED TO TRANSMIT ANY TROUBLE OR SUPERVISORY SIGNAL DIRECTLY TO A CENTRAL MONITORING STATION. THIS SYSTEM MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL FIRE OR SMOKE OR CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS.
