I have a Safewatch Plus A910KR security sytem. I did some phone line rewiring but did not record security sytem wiring. What are the correct line colors to connect wires from phone jack to phone lines. The wires out of phone jack on system are not connected the way a normal phone is connected--red to red, green to green etc. ADT has yellow wire to red terminal, red wire to yellow terminal, black wire to green terminal, and green wire to black terminal. I tried different hookups to phone line but ADT says they are not receiving a signal when I try it in test mode. HELP!

Your panel should have a RJ-31X phone jack in or near the main alarm control.
Take the cover off of it and look. The colors that are on the RED and GREEN on that jack should be on the incoming from the Telco demarc. Your house phones should be fed from the pair that are on the GREY and BROWN (next to the actual modular plug on the RJ-31X). Your system is old enough that it might set up a little differerently, but that's the basics.
