Read The Instruction Manual Before Resetting Your Alarm

Here’s a simple yet valuable tip before you start resetting your Port St. Lucie home security system, read your instruction manual prior to proceeding.

Resetting Your Port St. Lucie Home Security System Due To A False Alarm

Typically, a false alarm happens because of an accidentally tripped sensor. You can utilize the central hub or open the ADT mobile app and tap the shield icon and type in your security code to switch off the alarms in these situations. You may be contacted by your security monitoring team, but just tell them you experienced a false alarm.

Tips To Reset Your Alarm After A Power Outage In Port St. Lucie

When you lose power from high winds or other factors, you might begin hearing a beeping sound from your central command hub. That indicates that the alarm is being powered by the backup battery. To reset your equipment and halt the beeping, you need to take steps to disarm and rearm your security.

Keep in mind, if you lose power for prolonged time frame, you may need a full reset of your home’s security. Follow the directives in the instruction manual -- typically by putting in your PIN number and tapping the off button twice -- and you should be back to normal. You might still hear chirps from the backup power, as it might not cease until your battery reaches a full charge. Contact your security technician if you are still having issues with your ADT controls 20 hours after your power is back on.
