Summary
A trouble signal (sometimes indicated in the alarm history by the abbreviation TR) indicates a possible problem or difficulty with your security system, such as a loose wire, a poorly aligned sensor, or a low battery status. An ADT system will display a cellular failure if no cell signal reaches your system. The most common cause of a cellular failure is a network outage in your local area. Alternate Communicator Trouble indicates a problem with the device used to communicate with the monitoring station.
CellGuard uses cellular technology instead of a landline to communicate with the ADT monitoring center. Some VoIP and digital phone services also connect to the ADT monitoring center. Even if you have a home phone, you may want to consider getting CellGuard as a backup.
To clear cellular failure on ADT, allow time for the outage to clear, then run a communication test from the panel. If the connection is not restored, please call 1-800-ADT-ASAP for assistance. To clear the trouble code on your ADT alarm, press the star key on your keypad. It will display either a zone that is open or a trouble code such as a low battery alert. Once you have identified the issue and it has been resolved.
Poor cell signal can be caused by adverse weather, interference from building materials or terrain, distance from your nearest cell tower, or network overload.
