How do I reset my ADT keypad?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

To reset your ADT keypad, you will need to enter your code into the system and then hit the off button twice. This process will restore the system to its default settings and should resolve any issues you may be experiencing.

First, locate your ADT keypad. It is usually placed near the main entrance of your home or business. Once you have found it, make sure you are in close proximity to the keypad.

Next, enter your code into the system. This code is typically a series of numbers that you have set up when the system was initially installed. If you do not remember your code, you may need to contact ADT customer service for assistance.

After entering your code, press the off button on the keypad twice. This will initiate the reset process. It is important to press the off button twice to ensure that the reset command is executed properly.

Once you have completed these steps, your ADT keypad should be reset. It is recommended to test the system to ensure that it is functioning correctly. You can do this by activating the alarm and then deactivating it using your code. If everything is working properly, the alarm should arm and disarm without any issues.

It is also important to note that if your system was previously in Test Mode, you will need to remove it from this mode. To do this, you can visit the MyADT.com website and navigate to the System Management option. From there, select “My Alarm” and then choose “Stop Test” to remove the system from test mode and restore normal operations.

In my personal experience, I have had to reset my ADT keypad a few times due to various issues. Each time, following the steps mentioned above has resolved the problem and restored the functionality of the system. It is always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the process of resetting your keypad in case you encounter any issues in the future.

In conclusion, to reset your ADT keypad, enter your code into the system and press the off button twice. Make sure to remove the system from Test Mode if necessary. Following these steps should reset your keypad and restore normal operations.
