SYSTEM OVERVIEW

General

Congratulations on the installation of an ADT Security System. You've made a wise
decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today,
including microcomputer technology to monitor all system status.
Basically, this system offers you two forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency.
Your system may consist of at least one touchpad which provides full control of system
operation, various sensors such as motion detectors and door and window sensing
devices. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or
status messages over the phone lines to an ADT Customer Care Center.
All system functions are controlled by your touchpad(s), which are described in the next
section, ABOUT THE TOUCHPADS .

Zones

Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones". For example, the
sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing
devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 04, and so on. These zone numbers
will appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

Burglary Protection

To initiate burglary protection in your system, it must be turned on or "armed" before it will
sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm. Your system can be armed in one of
three modes: STAY, AWAY, and INSTANT. Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM sections
for instructions in using these modes of operation.

Chime Feature

When disarmed, your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window by
using the CHIME mode. In this mode, three tones will sound at the Touchpad(s)
whenever a door or window is opened.
