SAFEWATCH EZ

Deadbolt-Activated

Home Security System

PATENTED OI269B 2/02

Congratulations

on your purchase of a
new Deadbolt-Activated SAFEWATCH EZ
Security System. This revolutionary new
concept in residential security makes us­ing your system easier than ever before
possible, because the system uses its com­puterized control panel to continually
monitor the status of your entry door (and
deadbolt). It actually anticipates what
command it should expect from you next-­simply leaving you just one button to press
to effortlessly operate your security sys­tem, whether you’re going, returning or
staying in for the night.

Now everyone in your family, young and
old alike, will enjoy the true peace-of-mind
you would expect from a quality, state-of­the-art ADT Security System, without the
fuss of remembering confusing numerical
codes to operate it.

Simplicity and convenience begin with
your System’s one-touch STAY or AWAY
buttons, then just lock or unlock the door
as usual! Day in and day out, that’s all
there is to it.

This booklet contains important infor­mation about the operation of your ADT

SAFEWATCH EZ Security System.
Please read it through and retain it for
handy reference.

Because your system is
customized for your home and lifestyle,
you may find subjects mentioned here,
that don’t apply to your system. Rest as­sured your security system has been con­figured by your ADT Security Professional
to best suit you and the system itself has
been meticulously designed and engi­neered to the highest industry standards.

Please test your system at least once a

week as described below.

INTRODUCTION

Test your siren and central station communicator:

Hold Down the BYPASS button for 4 seconds (until the
Touchpad beeps). The system will generate a test re­port to central station and two momentary chirps of the
siren.

•

If the siren does not sound or sounds week, call for service.

•

If the system indicates a low battery system trouble (trouble light TBL
flashing 2 times), call for service.

•

If the system indicates a communication failure system trouble (

TBL

flashing 3 times), call for service. (The communication failure system
trouble may take a few minutes to appear.)

A subsequent press of the SILENCE button will silence the trouble indica-

2

Test your motion sensors and other protective devices:

Hold Down the BYPASS button for 8 seconds (until the second hold-down
beep).

•

Walk through the areas protected by motion sensors. The Touchpad will
beep when the zone is violated and again when the zone is restored.

•

Open and close all protected doors and windows and listen for the cor­responding Touchpad beeps.

After testing the protective devices, the Touchpad ARMED indicator will
flash out the zone number of all zones which have been activated.

Press the SILENCE button to clear the display and end the test.

If any devices fail to respond when activated or register on the Touchpad
display as described above, call for service.

EZ TOUCHPAD INDICATORS

The green READY light shows the status of the zones in your system:

the system, the other dead bolt must be locked before the system can be armed.

The red ARMED light ON indicates that the system is armed.

BLINKING with the siren sounding indicates that the system is in alarm.
