Can you leave the siren on all the time without killing your battery?

Adam, as long as non of the tones are activated, the siren switch can be turned on. If the siren tones are active, the battery my die after a while.

You can leave it on but it doesn't read continuously. You have to press a button to get the current reading. Therefore, there is no point in leaving it on unless someone is going to press the button and check on it at intervals during the night.

Yes. You can pick a sound and leave it on for as long as you like. You can also set a timer that will turn the sound off. So, if you want to go to sleep to a certain sound, but don't want it to play all night long, you set the timer and it will turn off by itself.

Just make sure that your alarm is disarmed when you disconnect the battery cables. Otherwise, the siren will go off in your face (depending on the placement of the siren), because, if installed properly, your 9V battery backup (hidden inside of the dash somewhere)will still be active. This is to make sure that someone can't just pop your hood and clip your battery cables to turn your alarm off.

Yes Brenda, I leave mine on day and night. I only unplug it when I go on vacation.

Nope, backup siren is incase they cut the wires to your primary siren, backup battery is in case they cut the battery power to disable the alarm. If the siren is hard to reach, you will be fine. What many do is pop the hood and cut the power to the battery. I myself just have the backup battery

You can mute the alarm but it will still monitor the temp. If leaving frig off for a while taking batt out would save their life.

Yes. It can be turned on or off. When it's on the anti-bark symbol comes on.

Yes! There is an "auto" button that allows it to stop once it reaches a certain temp but if you want it on all the time you can press that button to turn it off.

I know if you leave it plugged in all the time it can end up ruining the battery. But if that is not the case then I would contact the manufacturer.

There is a button that turns the lights on and off and a switch that turns the sound on and off. Unfortunately I do not know if turning off the lights will save battery life.

Yes, it can be turned off, but only if she has access to the main unit. If you hid it outside her door at night, it would work. Also, from my previous experience, the alarm is very sensitive. Be sure that the unit is attached to the door before turning it on, otherwise the alarm will sound.

First off, the intruder would have to know where your control panel is to unplug it. The siren is VERY loud and if it goes off, it is a huge deterrent. As soon as the system is set off, the text is sent to you that it has gone off. If they do find the panel and unplug it, it has a battery backup so it still should keep sounding. Hope that helps.

Hi. yes on both! I actually called cust serv to ask the power question and he said if you're leaving home for an extended period, just turn the switch off but other than that just leave it on. And yes, it is waterproof so you can leave all components outside all the time.

You can turn the siren alarm off in the"menu" option. The lights (red & yellow) will still light though. The announcement will still come on as long as the volume is up ..it will not mute the announcement automatically. ...you must press the snooze button....As a side note you can adjust the siren alarm by whatever the volume level you have set the unit too...hope this helps...
