ADT Security Services BHS-4000A Turning the System On When It Is Not Ready, Standard Keypad

Turning the System On When It Is Not Ready

If the system is not ready to turn on, you will get a “not ready” message. 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.

To make the system ready to arm and turn it on, do the following:

Standard Keypad

1.Press the OPTIONS key.

2.Press the 7 key.

3.Observe which zone light

blinks for the next five seconds. This is the zone that needs to be corrected before the system will turn on. (There may be more than one.)

4. Refer to the Pop-Up Zone Card to verify the zone’s location.

5. If the zone is a door or window, make sure that it is securely closed.

6.If the READY light illuminates, turn the system on.

(continued)

Premium Keypad

2.Refer to the Pop-Up Zone Card to verify the zone’s location.

3.If the zone is a door or window, make sure that it is securely closed.

4.If the message window reads READY, turn the system on.
