What does ADT low battery mean?
When you get a notification on your screen saying, “low battery alert,” it means that the backup battery is low and therefore if you don’t recharge your battery or replace it (sometimes), then the ADT system will stop working.
As you can see, it’s important that you should take this alert seriously. Otherwise, you’ve spent money on your system but you no longer will reap the benefits.
How do I stop my ADT alarm from beeping with a low battery?
If you prefer to watch a video, here you go.
As we’ve already said, it’s a good question. Because no one wants to hear this awfully loud noise, making it stop before moving forward is the right thing to do, because who wants to torture their ears?
In most cases, the process for silencing the beeping is quite simple. Go to your device, and get your fingers jammed on the keyboard.
Alright, now look for the OFF button on the keyboard. Have you found it? If not, no worries. Some keyboards don’t have the OFF button. If that’s your case, don’t worry. Instead, look for the # button and press it (it should get the job done).
If this doesn’t work, then you’ll have to do a bit more work. Go grab your user’s manual and find out how you can stop the beeping. You’ll find your solution there.
Meanwhile, to make the beeping less annoying you can turn down the sound a little by reducing the volume through the keyboard on your ADT system.
