Press OFF to cancel a Panic Alarm siren locally on your keypad or smart home hub.
Note: Once a Panic Alarm is triggered, you can’t cancel emergency services from
being dispatched if you are monitored.
Duress code: You can set up a unique code (dierent from your User Codes), which
you can use when you feel threatened by someone forcing you to disarm from inside
your home. When you enter this code, the alarm will not sound — but a special
duress message is sent to the monitoring center, and emergency services will
respond appropriately.
• To create a duress code, select Menu > Users > (+) Add, and select
Duress User.
• Create a Duress User with a unique 4-digit duress code and then press
Add User.
Note: The Panic button and duress codes should only be used in an emergency.
There is no option to cancel dispatch if you are not in an emergency. Your local
municipality and police department will treat this event as a false alarm.
Blue Keypad settings
To manage settings of your keypad at any time, launch your Blue by ADT app or log
in to the web portal. From the app/web portal, you can control audio settings for
turning on or o various chimes and tones. You can also adjust light settings for
the screen and LED brightness. You can disable the Panic button feature if desired.
The Panic button is enabled by default.
Arming your system
You have a variety of options for arming and disarming your system with Blue by ADT.
Depending on your needs, you may choose one of three dierent arming modes
on the keypad:
STAY: Press the Stay button and then enter your User Code to arm in Stay Mode.
Use this mode when you’re at home, entry and exit delays are on, and motion
sensors are o.
AWAY: Press the Away button and then enter your User Code to arm in Away Mode.
Use this mode when no one’s home, entry and exit delays are on, and motion
sensors are on.
NIGHT: Press the Night button and then enter your User Code to arm in Night
Mode. Use this mode when you’re in for the night, entry and exit delays
are o, and motion sensors are o.
OFF: Press OFF and then enter your User Code to disarm your security system.
Note: By design, the exit and entry delays give you enough time to leave or enter your
home without setting o a false alarm.
Your keypad includes a Panic button to be used in case of an emergency inside your
home. This Panic button will immediately notify the monitoring center to dispatch
emergency services to help you automatically. The Panic button can only be selected
