Yes it will. I had the fool from ADT call my 70 yr old father one time when
I was out of town to have him check why the alarm hadn't 'called home' to do
the self-test. Without warning him what it would do, or how to stop it,
they had him hit the panic button to trip the alarm. Of course with the
siren blaring he couldn't understand the idiots instructions, and before he
could get them clear the alarm cut them off and dialed in.

He finally decided to punch in the entry code, which cleared the alarm and
shut off the siren.

I gave them an ear full when I got home. I've also removed my father from
the backup call list. If they can't reach me they can't reach anyone in
these situations.

I'm curious about this one...

We have a monitored system (GE Concord Express) and it has the ability
to commandeer the phone line in order to dial out. If I hit the panic
buttons, I assume it will call immediately. Will it bust in on my 911
call in order to do this? (Although, police are supposed to respond to
a 911 hangup.).
