About ADT Cellular Failure Red Triangle

ADT security will indicate any troubles when something wrong occurs on its system. One of the troubles that commonly occurs on its system is low battery trouble.

Sometimes, there will be a ‘Red Triangle’ sign that appears on the ADT’s system. However, a lot of users are still confused with its sign, as the ‘Red Triangle’ sign rarely occurs on their ADT system when the battery is low. If you are also wondering about it, let’s dive into our post below!

About ADT Cellular Failure Red Triangle

What Does Red Triangle on the ADT System Mean?

On ADT’s system, the Red Triangle sign rarely appears, but some users complain that there is a red triangle on their alarm system screen. They think that the battery is low and should be changed. Is it true that you should change the battery system when a ‘Red Triangle’ sign appears?

According to the service manual, the Red Triangle sign refers to the warning for the low battery. What you should do is to replace it and reprogram the unit. Both your peripheral devices and your system use messages and beeps to indicate a low battery status.

If your alarm system is running low battery, most of ADT’s systems will show notifications like Lowbatt or Bat. If your peripheral device is low, most of ADT’s systems will show a similar message with the particular zone with the low battery status indicated clearly.

Peripheral devices like door, smoke and motion detectors and window sensors either can function as wireless devices that run independently and on battery power only or can use AC power to function and also require a battery only when losing the power.

Finally, you will have to replace their batteries, regardless of whether your peripheral device uses AC power or battery power to operate. In this case, you will find the right battery for your peripheral device on ADT’s Battery Identification page.

How to Remove the Red Triangle Sign on ADT’s Alarm System?

In some cases, the Red Triangle sign refers to low battery trouble. Sometimes, its trouble will cause beeping alarms. However, you can silence the beeping alarms by pressing the ‘Off’ button or ‘#’ button on your keypad. But, if it is not working, you may need to perform some extra ways that refer to your security system manual for specific instructions.

If you need to silence low battery beeping, you may need to refer to the MyADT Help Center page on how to silence beeping.

How to Avoid Setting False Alarms on ADT’s System?

Sometimes, many people do not want to encounter trouble and avoid using their security system for their home, as they are afraid of setting it off accidentally. However, if you use your system regularly, it will be part of your daily routine that will help prevent any mistakes and avoid false alarms.

There are at least two smart ways to avoid your false alarm setting. Here are they:

  • Away: You have to always arm your security system when you leave your house to activate the interior zones such as your motion detectors.
  • Stay: You may need to arm your security system for stay if you have larger, active pets who can climb on the furniture. So, your motion detector will not pick up their activity and cause false alarms.

When you come home, you should enter your 4 digit code to disarm your alarm setting. Make sure to arm the system again, but you should set it in Stay mode now. It will provide an added layer of protection for you and your family while you are at home.
