System Overview; Features - ADT Safewatch QuickConnect Plus User Manual

General Information
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on the
configuration of your system. The system consists of a master keypad for controlling system operation,
various wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and optional smoke or
combustion detectors to provide early fire warning. In addition, optional wireless keypads may have
been installed to allow you to control the system away from the master keypad. The system may also be
controlled from a remote telephone and can be used as a speaker phone.

central alarm monitoring station, and may also be capable of two-way voice communication with the
central station.
