1. False. GE Security Pro wireless technology prevents false alarms using two different techniques. One is the technique of programming each sensor with only one of a possible sixteen-million identification codes so that no two sensors within range of a security system receiver are likely to have the same identity. The second is the design of microprocessors with sophisticated decoding capabilities that simply won't allow signals from the wrong source to trip an alarm. Wireless systems with the latest encoding and decoding technology actually reduce false alarms.

3. False. GE Security Pro wireless security systems are as easy to operate as any other type of system. In many cases they're easier to operate because wireless technology allows you to keep a touchpad or panic button at your side. Wireless touchpads don't have to be anchored and wired in place in order to work. Carry the wireless touchpad with you or place a touchpad at your bedside at night.

4. True. A door/window sensor with a transmitter in it costs more than a door/window sensor with a screw in it. The cost is in the sensor, not in the labor required to install it. But when you compare all the costs that go into the installation of a wireless versus a hardwire system, you will see that the costs of installing wireless are lower.

5. False. Because radio waves cannot penetrate metal, metal construction can prevent waves from reaching the radio receiver. But few homes are made entirely of metal lathe, steel walls, plated floors, sheet metal roofs, iron railings, and aluminum staircases.

6. False. Not even the most style-conscious customers complain about the size of GE Security Pro wireless sensors. Our smallest wireless door/window sensor is barely larger than a quarter!

7. True. There are few unknowns in a wireless installation-and few surprises. Installations are fast, easy, and they're not hard on your walls, ceilings, or plumbing—because there's no drilling for sensor wires.
