Equipment FAQs

To remotely arm or disarm your system, log into the Pulse app and you'll see a large red or green icon on your dashboard.

  • To arm your system, tap the green icon.
  • Choose if you'd like to arm your system STAY or AWAY.
  • STAY is used to arm the system with people or pets inside the premises. The perimeter sensors will be armed, however interior sensors will be left unarmed. 
  • AWAY is used when no one will remain inside the premises. The entire system (interior and perimeter) will be armed and interior movement will trigger an alarm.
  • To disarm your system, which will disarm the burglar portion of the system, tap the red icon.

Most ADT systems can be armed in STAY mode and in AWAY mode. Some systems may have additional arming options. 

If you are unsure which system is yours, do the following:
1. Log into MyADT.com and click on the Overview tab
2. On the Overview page you will find System Information
3. The name of your system will be shown (e.g., Safewatch Pro 3000)
