False Alarm Prevention (cont’d)
Additional steps are to carefully read and understand this manual, to
become thoroughly familiar with your system by practicing entry and exit
commands, and to learn how your monitoring system can become part of
your workday lifestyle. Learn your Personal Identification Number (PIN),
which is necessary when you communicate with your ADT Customer
Monitoring Center. Then teach all others who will be using the system.
Make sure they are confident they can flawlessly operate the system and are
able to promptly cancel a false alarm, should one occur. All users must be
very familiar with the operating procedure to cancel false alarms.
Preventing causes of false alarms
The ADT brochure entitled Helping You Prevent False Alarms refers you to
this manual for any of several actions you may take to prevent false alarms.
These actions are listed below:
1. When You Test Your System: Follow the procedure under the heading
TESTING THE SYSTEM in this manual. Make certain your system is
“out of service” before you start testing the various sensors.
2. If You Move to a Different Building: ADT offers a special
consideration to customers who move, provided you give to your local
ADT representative the name of the party that purchases or leases your
present building. Do not take your operating panel or any part of your
system with you. Ask ADT to take your system out of service just before
the new party takes ownership of your present building.
3. If You Get a Watchdog: Nearly all types of animals can cause false
alarms. If you get a watchdog or have other animals, do not allow them
into a room with an area sensor when your system is turned on.
4. If You Hire Janitorial Help: Assign a special user code to each janitor,
and enter the code into the system using the procedure under the
heading SYSTEM PROGRAMMING in this manual. Carefully train your
help to turn the system on, turn it off, and cancel false alarms. They
must also understand the entry and exit delays and be able to respond to
a verification call from your ADT Monitoring Center.
