The world had never seen anything like it. And you killed not just one person, but dozens in quick succession. The game placed you directly in the action, with shouting guards hunting you down, and enemies that audibly screamed and collapsed in a pool of blood when you killed them. Its violence injected a dose of culture shock largely due to its immersive first-person experience, which was novel and somewhat terrifying in 1992.

We recommend you take a record of the length of the battery life and set a reminder for future reference. We highly recommend you replace the batteries in all your devices to prevent the system being at risk of being compromised by flat batteries. If I replace the batteries in the device that has triggered the low battery signal, should I replace the batteries in the other devices? Yes! As your systems devices were installed together it is likely that the batteries in other similar devices are also towards the end of their effective life. Please call 0800 111 238 and we will schedule a technician to attend at a time that best suits you. Therefore, we highly recommend you organise an ADT qualified technician to attend site. What if my system is still in warranty? If your system is in warranty and a low battery signal has occurred and you choose to replace the batteries by yourself, it will invalidate any remaining warranty. You can do this by phoning the ADT TSS Service on 0800 111 238, option 2. Warning Note: Please ensure you place your system on test before you inspect or change the batteries to prevent triggering a false tamper alarm. 2) Open the sensor and check battery type. Which battery type do I need? You can find this out by either 1) Refer to your user manual. Otherwise, refer to your User Manual or keypad to determine which device is sending the RF Low Battery signal. ![]() How do I determine which device in my system requires a battery replacement? You may have been sent an SMS text message with the details of which device is running low or completely flat. If you have not been set up for this please call 0800 111 238. The TSS User Manual can be found here and it is a free service. You can do this by phoning the ADT TSS Service on 0800 111 238. If you choose to change the batteries yourself you may access a user manual for your alarm system by visiting our Alarm Panel User Manuals Listing, however changing the batteries yourself will invalidate any remaining product warranty. For more information on our affordable maintenance packages or for alternative options on battery replacement phone 0800 111 238 between 8am-8pm Monday to Friday. To ensure the optimum performance of your system, we highly recommend a regular maintenance schedule. ADT strongly recommends that you replace the battery at your earliest convenience and that you use an ADT qualified Technician to service your system.

The cards themselves look a lot different from previous Genus Editions, without the characteristic look of other typical Trivial Pursuit cards. ![]() This is the first set of Trivial Pursuit cards in which the History category is by far the toughest one, probably because it includes a ton of very contemporary history as well as older historical trivia. This set of 4,800 questions on 800 question and answer cards is about as difficult as Genus II, good for trivia buffs of all skill sets. Released in 2003 as Volume VI, (or Trivial Pursuit 6) this edition appears to be somewhere in the middle of the road in terms of difficulty. This version of the game appeared in 2001 and has yet to be topped in terms of overall difficulty. The toughest category in this set is Sports & Leisure, thanks to the inclusion of even more sports statistics questions. The most difficult Trivial Pursuit Genus Edition, Genus V is a tough set of 4,800 questions on 800 Trivial Pursuit cards. ![]() Genus IV question and answer cards have a red and black border, further fueling the notion that Genus IV is really a correction of the poorly-reviewed Genus III. Appearing just two years after the Genus III Edition, Genus IV was a response to the accusations that Trivial Pursuit is being "dumbed down." Genus IV is not considered quite as easy a set of questions as Genus III, but it's still the second-easiest Trivial Pursuit edition. Genus II also shortened the number of questions to just 4,800 questions on 800 Trivial Pursuit question cards. Genus III cards have a trademark black border. More "hard science" questions were added, in areas like physics and genetics, and fewer generic "who invented _" type questions. One strange feature of the third Genus Edition is that the Science & Nature questions got a lot tougher while all other categories eased up. This led to a big debate about whether or not Trivial Pursuit was getting "dumbed down" or not. Appearing in 1994, Genus III is considered the easiest Trivial Pursuit Genus Edition of all. It took Parker Brothers, who then owned the Trivial Pursuit license, a decade to come up with a new set of Genus questions. Genus II has the distinction of having the hardest "Entertainment" category of all editions of the game, probably thanks to a wider scope of Entertainment questions from earlier in the last few centuries. These cards had a yellow or cornsilk border instead of dark blue, though all the original categories and colors were intact. The biggest difference with this edition's Trivial Pursuit cards is the look of the card. Not the easiest and not the hardest edition of the basic Trivial Pursuit game, Genus II also came with 6,000 questions on 1,000 Trivial Pursuit cards. The front had just the thin blue border and the six color and category code markers along with the questions on the right side. The answer side had the word "Genus" in script on the left side of the card with answers on the right, next to the color code and symbol for each category. The cards for this edition set the standard for all future editions of the game-vaguely rectangular in shape with a dark blue border. It is considered the second-toughest edition of Trivial Pursuit. This is the first edition of Trivial Pursuit. |
