what are the problems with th alarm volume
217844
Haven't used it. Its best to set the alarm on the iPhone. The phone might not fit the charger and the adapters from Sony won't work. I'm basically using it for the ceiling display.

The problem is with the whole thing! Do not buy! I have had two of these. It wasn't worth the hassle to return it the 2nd time. Biggest waste of money. Nothing works. Nothing. Sorry! :-(

I agree that the volume is too low and particularly in a noisy environment hard to understand, but in my case I have found the BT function with this device to be unreliable. Most often it fails to make a connection and on incoming calls pressing the answer button on an incoming call is of no use, you cannot answer the call. I have tried to get help from Garmin but after 20 to 30 minutes hold the tech supt people are useless. I stated in my review of this product that if the BT function is important to you get another product. To be fair, however, I must add that when I ran into trouble updating the maps, tech Supt was outstanding and they solved the problem.

There is no way that we are aware of to make the alarm louder. You might want to contact Garmin directly.

When it plays music on the alarm function, is it music only, or the alarm sound as well? (I have one that simultaneously also beeps while it's on wake with music, I do not want one like that ever again.)

With the added iHome app, you can dim it as much as you like. I am having some issues with the app though because it doesn't let me use the lower volume for the music part of the alarm. Since I use the white noise quite loudly to go to sleep to, this makes the alarm pretty loud when it goes off. There may be a way to fix this issue, I just haven't found it yet. If you don't go to sleep with sound or don't mind a loud alarm, it wouldn't be an issue for you.

Happened to me at 1 am a few times! It is alarm. I don't have it handy or I could give more details. The instruction sheet should help you out though. Good luck :)

That would all depend on what type of alarm it is. But how can an alarm be too loud? Isn't that there purpose to be loud and call attention to something?

Contact the seller. I believe it is by design. In my case it was loud enough to disturb my sleep.

Because it doesn't have the vibrating alarms needed for deaf people. If you can't hear the beeps, it's useless. Hope that helps.

if you touch the alarm when it's on it will go off and will scare the crap out of the theif before he can turn it off it is very loud. i have placed it to where it can't be seen so there is no chance of anyone turning it off with out alerting me.

I had a problem with my "volume" button. Contact Amazon customer service and they can probably refund you a part of your money, or help you get the problem sorted :)

It is very easy too set the alarm without assistance. It only turns one way so if you go past your intended time just keep going around until you reach the desired time. As for the volume, I think it is loud. It is not the annoying buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of the previous models it is a digital beep which changes with urgency if you don't turn it off quickly.

No audible alarm. Only the visible. Go with the bigger monitor. The small one is too small.

No, I don't have any problem with the volume. Mine works just fine. Good luck

The alarm sound can't be adjusted...and it is quite loud (like a smoke detector). There is no "history" to know what may have happened.

I cannot answer that question since I haven't tried to fall asleep to music. All I can report is that there are options for the alarm setting.
