2.
Attach the desk mount to the ADT Security Hub and tighten the mounting plate screw.

Download the SmartThings app for Android or iOS, create an account for your home, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup.
• An Activation Code will be displayed on the ADT
Security Hub. Enter this code into the SmartThings app when prompted.
• If you already have a SmartThings Hub (or compatible device with SmartThings Hub functionality), visit
SmartThings.com/Support-ADT to learn more about replacing it with the ADT Security Hub.
6.
Use the System Settings menu option on your ADT Security
Hub to change the Master User Code.
• All ADT Security Hubs have the same default Master
User Code (1111), so it’s important that you change this code as soon as you’ve completed setup. See the enclosed ADT Security Hub User Guide for more information about user codes and how to change your Master User Code.

For compliance with ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electric Code, install the power plug retaining bracket.

Setup your ADT Door and Window Detectors
1.
Use the ADT Door and Window Detectors to protect doors and windows where an intruder might be able to enter your home.
• There are two ADT Door and Window Detectors in the
ADT Home Security Starter Kit and each one consists of two parts. Setup the detectors one at a time and do not remove the tabs marked “Pull This Tab” until instructed below.
2.
Take the first ADT Door and Window Detector to the door or window where you intend to mount it. Make sure you are within 350 feet of the ADT Security Hub.
• Exact range depends on your home’s construction, the environment, the position of the ADT Security Hub, and the position and number of other connected devices.
3.
Use the SmartThings app on your smartphone to select the
“My Home” tab. Select "Things", and then “Add a Thing".

• Make sure that there are no objects blocking the detector's view and that it's in a stable location.
• Make sure that the detector is not aimed at stairs, furniture, or other surfaces where a pet might climb, or used in a room where large pets (over 55 lbs) may be present and could cause false alarms.
• Make sure that the detector is not placed near a source of heat that could cause false alarms, e.g. a heating vent or fireplace.
• Make sure that you test the coverage of the detector by pressing the Walk Test button on the side. For the next
10 minutes, the red LED will illuminate when it senses movement, allowing you to adjust the aim of the detector using a screwdriver so that it covers the desired protection area.
