When beginning your shift and responsible for an alarm system, you should?

  1. Learn how the alarm system works

  2. Ignore the alarm system until it signals

  3. Consult only with external security

  4. Focus solely on internal security measures

The correct answer is: Learn how the alarm system works

It is important to familiarize yourself with the alarm system and understand how it works when beginning your shift as the person responsible. Ignoring the system until it signals or consulting only with external security can result in delayed response time in the event of an actual emergency. Focusing solely on internal security measures may also lead to overlooking potential threats detected by the alarm system. Therefore, option A is the best course of action for effectively managing an alarm system during your shift.
