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.
Be sure that air currents cannot move these items into the area covered by the motion detector. Notify ADT before you sell or rent out your home, so that we can arrange to move your service to your new home, as well as instruct the new residents at your current home on how to use the system.
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. Do not open the master control panel unless an ADT Master Control Panel Representative instructs you to do so.

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.
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.
