The ADT Safewatch Pro 3000 is a home security system that is used to monitor and control your home security system through the phone, computer, or other portable device. Another good feature that I found is that you can choose a code that will be used to turn on or off the system. In this blog post, I will guide you step by step on how to program a new alarm code for your ADT Safewatch Pro 3000.
Why Should I Change My Alarm Code?
There are a few reasons you may want to change your existing ADT alarm system code on your Safewatch Pro 3000 system:
You cannot recall your current code – It is a common occurrence that everyone may easily forget his or her passwords or codes. Instead of having your home security system lock you out, it is advisable to change the code provided that you may easily forget it.
Better security – As a security measure it is recommended that the alarm code be changed from time to time. This lowers the possibility of an old code being used to disable your system in an undesirable manner.
New homeowners/tenants – if you are in a new home and you transferred your ADT service upon purchasing the house, changing the code should also be done to prevent the previous owners from gaining access to the panel.
Before You Begin
Before you get started with changing the alarm code, make sure you have the following on hand:
This is the current Master Code for your Safewatch Pro 3000 system. This is the 4-digit code to unlock the programming mode of the device. Alternatively, use defaults such as 1234 or the last 4 digits of your account number in case you are not sure.
Choose a new 4-digit alarm code that you would wish to set in the system. Do not use sequences of numbers that are easily guessed for security reasons, or security standard measures.
Make sure you have the instruction manual of your ADT Safewatch Pro 3000 on hand.
