Safety Alarm System Tutorial

Install the keypad next to the door so that it is accessible to the owners from inside the home. Install the sensors on the doors and windows. Most sensors are magnet or cable connections that can easily set up throughout the house. Make sure the perimeter of the house is fashioned with sensory detectors, if it comes with your home safety alarm system.

Test the alarm security system and show your family how to use it. Click the "Test" button on an ADT alarm system to test the alarm signal is working properly.

Click "Away" to indicate that no one will be inside the house, including pets. The alarm system will protect both the indoor and outdoor perimeter. When you press this button, make sure all doors and windows are closed and the alarm displays the "Ready to Arm" message. You can also choose "Stay" to indicate to the alarm that either people or pets will be staying within the home perimeter.

Press "Night-Stay" to indicate that people will be staying inside for the evening. Press "Instant" if you are staying indoors and not expecting any visitors. It will arm the outdoor perimeter in addition to the indoor. Press "Disarm" to disable the home alarm.

Notify authorities by selecting "Police" or "Fire." Click "Bypass" when you want to leave one or more zones of your home unprotected by the alarm system. Once selected, you enter the zones, which are allocated by number, to select for bypass. Click "Reset" to reset or enter new passwords to enable and disable the home alarm system.
