You may receive notification from your 24-hour monitoring specialists, but just let them know you had a false alarm.

Tips To Reset Your Alarm Following A Power Outage In Camden

When you lose power because of high winds or other factors, you could begin hearing a repeated, high-pitched beep from your central command hub. This signifies that your home’s defense is being powered by the battery backup. To reset your equipment and silence the beeping, you must deactivate and reactivate your system.

But please note, if your power outage lasts for an extended time, you may need a total reset of your system. Pay careful attention to the instructions in your user’s handbook -- normally by putting in your unique passcode and tapping the designated button twice -- and you should be back in business. You might still hear chirps from the backup power, as it’s possible it won’t stop until the battery charges entirely. Contact your security technician if you keep having issues with your ADT system a day after power is restored.
