How to Reset an ADT Home Alarm
ADT home alarm systems are equipped with sensors that electronically alert the alarm keypad when security zones are breached. Some types of ADT alarm system sensors must be manually reset when they detect a security event, such as a broken window. You do not need to contact ADT to reset these sensors. As long as the event that triggered the sensor to sound your alarm has been resolved, you can follow these steps to reset your ADT home alarm. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
If you fear that your home perimeter has been breached and your ADT home alarm is sounding, do not reset the sensors. Call 911.
If you are certain that your home is secure but your ADT alarm system will not reset, then check all of the sensors in the house. There may have been more than one event that caused the alarm to sound. The sensors will not reset until all of the events that triggered the alarm have been resolved.
