-
When your system is completely installed, make sure the technician properly trains you on all of the features of the alarm system
-
Make sure everyone with access to your home or business knows how to use the security system. This includes employees, contractors, and anyone else with a key. If you have questions about your system, refer to the owners manual, or contact WH Security for assistance
-
Make sure everyone is also aware of your "password," used by the monitoring center to identify the person as an acceptable user of the system
-
Call WH Security to periodically test your system
-
Keep your list of contact people up-to-date
