Welcome Thank you for choosing an ADT security system. We appreciate your business. To get the most from the easy-to-use ADT security system, please take the time to read this manual. It describes the components of the system and tells you how to use the keypad. It also tells you what to do in the event of an alarm. Please also be sure to read your Customer Emergency Information Schedule so that you will have a clear understanding of ADT procedures should you experience an alarm event.
How to Avoid False Alarms Numerous false alarms can affect the quality of your monitoring service. They can also result in fines from your local municipality. To avoid false alarms, follow these simple tips: 1. B e sure that everyone in your protected location knows how to use the alarm system. Everyone should know a Security Password (formerly known as a Master Code Word or Personal Identification Code [PIC]), as well as a keypad code. 2.
The ADT Home Security System Standard Equipment The master control panel is housed in a metal box. It is typically mounted in an out-of-the-way location, such as a closet. The master control panel processes the information sent to it by the system’s sensors and keypad. It also contains a battery that allows the system to operate during a power failure. When an alarm occurs, the master control panel sends a message over the telephone line to an ADT Customer Monitoring Center.
Standard Equipment, cont’d. A motion detector is mounted on the wall inside your home. This sensor can detect when there is movement within its field of view. If the system is on when this happens, an alarm signal goes to an ADT Customer Monitoring Center. Motion Detector The siren is a small plastic box mounted inside your home. When an alarm occurs, the siren sounds a warning designed to frighten off intruders. The siren may also sound when you use some of the Siren system’s special features.
Optional Equipment This device detects both smoke and dangerously high temperatures. It is mounted in a central location of the house on the ceiling. Smoke/heat detectors are not available for commercial installations. Smoke/Heat Detector The heat sensor detects when the temperature nearby is dangerously high. It is mounted in a central location of the house on the ceiling. Heat sensors are not available for commercial installations.
Optional Equipment, cont’d. This device detects carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas. Improperly maintained appliances such as hot water heaters can produce carbon monoxide. Carbon Monoxide Detector Optional Features The optional Pager/Latchkey feature notifies you that your children have arrived home safely when you are away. When your child turns the system on or off, you receive a page on your pager. You can also receive pages for other system events, like alarms or pager/latchkey loss.

Emergency Keys If you are home when a police, medical or fire emergency arises, you can alert an ADT Customer Monitoring Center of your situation with the single press of an emergency key. The system does not need to be on. (Not all emergency buttons are available to all commercial customers.) Call 911 First If your community provides 911 emergency service and you are able to reach a telephone during the emergency, ADT recommends that you call 911 before pressing the emergency key.
Using the Keypad The ADT security system in your home may have a Standard keypad or a Premium keypad. Both types of keypads can be used to turn the system on or off, or to test or customize it. For some procedures, the keypads’ commands are slightly different. In those cases, this manual contains two sets of instructions, like those shown below. If you are using a Standard keypad, follow the instructions on the left. If you are using a Premium keypad, follow the instructions on the right.
Keypad Codes When the system is installed, you select a three- or four-digit code number that you will use to arm and disarm the system. This is your keypad code. You can also create a separate keypad code for anyone who needs access to your home (see page 23 for more information). You can change your keypad code and add or delete additional codes whenever you like, using the keypad.
Turning the System On The Four “On” Modes You can arm the ADT security system using four different modes: 1. 2. 3. 4. Normal mode Motion Off mode Motion Off/Instant mode Instant mode The illustration below helps you choose which mode to use.

This message could mean, for example, that one of the protected windows in your house is open. If you have a Standard keypad, the READY light is off. If you have a Premium keypad, the message window reads NOT READY. If you press the ON key when the system is not ready to turn on, the keypad sounds an error tone and the system does not turn on.
