I used to work for ADT and fixed all of these things. This is an internal error and the battery is not being read. The battery itself is totally fine and it's just an issue with one of the pins inside of the Command. ADT will send you. Technician for free regarding this issue and on the backend they zero out the battery cost, maintenance cost, site assessment fee. Sadly need an onsite technician to reset the pin back to factory.
I was on the phone speaking to representatives about this very issue. I did all the things necessary. The message still showing on panel. Thanks for sharing this info with us! It's comforting to know.
@@crystalstevenson18 Hi. Recently was away & had a power outage, came home to this issue. So how did you fix, call ADT? So this should not be a cost charged issue? I've had a few issues in past with unit & ALWAYS get charged
@@melissamissingchriscornell2513 (I work for ADT currently) for the longest time, they would cover a tech to come out because we couldn’t mail the battery. Then we could, and not long after that, we started to waive the charge of the battery because ADT noticed an issue (and never, until recently, told us what the issue was). We now know that the Command was over charging the batteries. So they would fail quicker. As of now, we are still replacing these batteries for free. Eventually, that will change.
Actually ADT IS extremely helpful. If you read your contract like I did you would of known that Batteries is NOT under the QSP warranty and charging to send out a tech was the right way. People need to learn to read what in contracts before signing 🤣🤣
After all the calls I have made to ADT this was not the fix they provided. They kept having me go to the device that monitors CO2/ fire alarm up near the ceiling. I'm so over calling in for support this video is so resourceful. I came across your channel and I'm thrilled to have found ?it! My problem has finally been resolved. After a year of calling and complaining to them about the battery draining every month, and recycling those darn expensive (123 Lithium batteries) that wasn't the problem at all... really support didn't reorganize the problem, REALLY! I could go on about my horrible experiences with ADT's support on this particular problem. Long story short I'm grateful to have found this resourceful video. I'm now a subscriber.
Very helpful. I replaced my battery yesterday. A couple notes. When I pulled the cover off. It set off a case tampering alarm. I just had to enter my pin to get it to quiet down, although the tampering alarm was still visible. When I was all done then, I just had to go to advanced options and reboot the system. That cleared the alarm. All fixed.
Bruce- Thanks for the additional step of rebooting the system! Really appreciate it as that was driving me crazy. Dean- thanks for the vid!!! I’m sure you saved me at least $100 with of ADT coming out.
@@guya9505 I tried rebooting and its still telling me cover tamper but the alarm system is working fine so I guess I won't worry about it. Its in an awkward place so taking the cover off again is a pain. The cover is on tight and its screwed back in so I dont know what's wrong.
The video was spot on. Thanks for taking the time to put the video togetheer. I ended up unplugging the power source and didn't have any problems after powering the unit back on. All the settings were retained.
Thanks a ton bro! I called ADT several times trying to reach someone, anyone breathing...and nothing. This is so easy, and I can take care of this no problem. Appreciate you, bro!
My friend, thank you so much for posting this video. Heard that annoying beep and had no idea where the battery was. Did a quick youtube search for "dead adt battery" and saw your video. No fluff, just right-to-the-point, easy-to-follow instructions. Ordered a battery from Amazon and I'm good to go. For your effort, I subscribed. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! My husband and I watched your video and were able to successfully change the battery. Your video was excellent as it went step by step and explained everything. The hardest part was removing and replacing the very small screws. Thank you again for your help! Barbara K.
Omg, this has been driving me crazy for months. I called ADT about this issue. They said They would have to send out a technician to troubleshoot the issue. Which would cost me over $100.00. I walked my complete house changing out all my sensor batteries. SMH, I knew the battery had to be hidden somewhere in the alarm panel. Thank you so much.
This is Awesome. With this help it will save you calling, waiting on hold, then them telling you they can send someone out in a few days and then charge you for the call. Plus more money for the batter then if you buy it from other sources. Great Help, then you!!!!
Damn, I really appreciate the information. I have the same ADT keypad system . I did the same thing . Going through my whole system to see what battery is dead. Thank you so much . Going to buy a shirt right now
Hello Sir: Man you were a life saver, thanks so much. Also, I had to put my system on test mode before I realized just to unhook the battery to stop the beeping.
Man, this is helpful, I went to Battery + can't find the battery, So I ordered on the Amazon, following your video to replace the battery. So easy. Thanks
Thanks Dean, just followed your instructions on changing the battery. It was simple and easy. Once I installed a new battery and did a reboot, the error code cleared, and now the system is back on track! Thanks for your video!!!!
Thank you so much! I bought new batteries replacing them all, and it is still with the error. I decide it to look up in RUclips and this is good information. Thanks I will do it during the week and will advice you if it work for me. From Puerto Rico! 👍🏻
Have the same problem, which is ADT's noted problem. I received a new battery fee of charge and will install it after this video. Thanks, Sir, for a great tutorial and I did subscribe.👍🙏
Man this video was extremely helpful! Should save me from calling a ADT Technician. You might want to blur out some of that information you displayed though. These hackers are ruthless!
Hi again: do I need to turn off power? I called ADT, they want to set up video…someone there said that I need to put small flathead screwdriver in bottom of motion sensor, I tried and it didn’t work….plz reply Tom
Sorry for so many questions; my system looks like yours, could u plz include battery number in your reply? I will open and look at what number battery is. Thank u
Thanks for this information. I never received a manual when the system was installed. Trying to get someone at ADT is worse than trying to find a needle in a haystack. Very helpful. I have the same panel. 🤗
Extremely helpful 👍 I called ADT waited over 25 min for help ..went to their you tube...wrong style! Then I found you ...voila!! saved me so much time!
Thank you so much! I learn best by watching & after watching your video I installed MYSELF the FREE ADT BATTERY they sent to me. I had people I turned to to help me telling me my battery was NOT IN THE KEYPAD. You helped me so much, & yes I subscribed to your channel. I couldn’t figure out how to buy one of your shirts though. Hey, maybe an idea for one of your videos!
Very useful video. Wish there was a way for you not to block the connector and battery cover tab with your hands. I will now proceed to change the battery.
yes, i agree with lachyu, your hands were blocking important parts of the video and although I must say the video in general was helpful, it was frustrating when your hands were blocking the view. It's like argh....move your hands out of the way so we can see what you're doing.....
Perfect! Thanks this worked like a charm! I did have order the battery thru Amazon since my system started beeping about the missing battery and driving the dogs crazy so I needed it asap! Haha!
Thank you so much for your help! This was extremely easy. Your video is right on point and the fact you list everything for us shows how dedicated you are to help others! And yes I subscribed to your channel 👍🏽
You should call ADT first and have them put the system into test before removing the panel from the wall. Depending on how the touch panel was setup you will trigger a tamper alarm.
Thank you for the video.. it was super helpful.. in my case i get the base cover tamper error when the panel was removed from the base.. i tried to reset the system also entered code multiple times but that error is mot going away.. is there anything i am missing?
Thanks for the video. Interesting thing for me was that once I took the case off and silenced the case tampering alarm, the dead battery/miss alert disappeared without me replacing the battery. I'm going to order one anyway but I thought it was a bit odd.
Is there a way to clear the message until you can get the replacement battery? My panel is in my bedroom and the panel won't time out and stays lit up. Thanks!

Thank you Damien! This issue only came up after a power outage! Thought a simple reset could/should occur after pressing buttons on the screen 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you, Damien!

Thanks so much for sharing this video, I was trying to find the battery and couldn’t find it! LOL

Yes, how do I clear the tamper alert? I shut down the system after the fact but it still shows alternating with the Ready to Arm alert
Thanks for this information. I never received a manual when the system was installed. Trying to get someone at ADT is worse than trying to find a needle in a haystack. Very helpful. I have the same panel. 🤗

Which is weird since it's not detecting the battery for it to be tampered with.
