Important Notices

UL Information

This system is capable of providing either Grade A or Grade B service for residential burglary. If configured to Grade B, performance of a weekly test as indicated in this manual is necessary. Contact ADT for more details on your particular installation. Accessories that do not bear the UL mark have not been investigated with this system by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

DSL Service

If you convert your telephone line to a high-speed data format like DSL, it could affect the ability of the security system to transmit signals to the ADT Customer Monitoring Centers. If you have switched to such a service, you should immediate- ly conduct the Siren and Transmission Test described on page 25. If the test is not successful, call ADT Customer Care at 800.445.0872. ADT may need to install a filter provided by your DSL company to restore communication. However, because of the nature of DSL service, you should be aware that, even with this filter installed, the system will not be able to communicate with an ADT Customer Monitoring Center anytime that your telephone is in use or off the hook.

VoIP Service

If you use VoIP service for your phone line, it could affect the ability of the security system to transmit signals to ADT’s Customer Monitoring Centers. If you are using such a service, please conduct the Siren and Transmission Test described on page 25. If the test is not successful, call ADT Customer Care at 800.445.0872. You may need to change the settings in your VoIP service; however, some VoIP services are not compatible with alarm systems, even with custom settings. Please visit www.MyADT.com for more information.

Alarm Permits

Your local municipality may require you to obtain an alarm permit before you can operate the ADT security system. Please contact your city or county police department to determine the requirements in your area. For more information, consult your local city or county website.

SIA CP-01-Compliant System Information

Once the system is armed by pressing the ON key, pressing the ON key a second time will silence the exit tone and double the exit time.

Swinger Suppression—On SIA CP-01-compliant installations, the bypass ICON or LED will turn on after a zone is violated indicating that the zone which caused the alarm must be disarmed, or a period of 48 hours must pass before it can initiate another alarm from the same zone. The bypass indication may also turn on after an alarm caused by an emergency key activation. The emergency key function will be restored after a period of 48 hours or when the system is manually reset by pressing the CANCEL key and entering a valid keypad code. Contact ADT Customer Care for more information on this feature and the system.
