How to Set the Time on an ADT System

ADT home security systems are operated by a control panel installed on your wall. On the control panel is an LED screen that provides information about the current alarm settings as well as the time and date. The time and date are usually set by the technician who installs the security system. If you lose power to your home, the time will need to be reset on the control panel.
