Does the alarm go off until you turn it off, or does it go off once and then let you forget that it went off?

It goes off for about a minute, then shuts off. Best timer I've ever had and I've had lots of them.

The alarm goes off after the designated time has elapsed and then continues to beep for one minute. This is a beeping type of alarm not a continuous type...thank goodness. :-)

It goes off for a while, maybe a minute or two at the most, and then it shuts itself off -- I just tested this to see what it did, as I had it handy.

It goes off for quite some time, but you have to be close to hear it. That's why I sent it back.

It goes off for at least a minute if you do not reset the timer. I've never let it go longer than that because it's pretty loud and annoying.

The alarm goes off for about 60 seconds (I've never timed it. I seems to last a long time.) It's plenty of time for me. If you want to go take a shower or something, though, you could miss it, I suppose.

Received three of these clocks and two are already in the trash. The one that works only alerts for a while then stops

the alarm will ring continuously for a full minute, then turns off on its own and won't ring again.

As I can recall....it's been a while since I had it...it goes off for quite some time. BUT...you pretty much have to be within a few feet of it to hear it going off. That's why I sent it back.

It sounds for a minute or so then turns off. And a good thing, too, as my Tabby-cat doesn't care for that chirping! It's a great timer - I am very pleased with it.

I let the alarm go for 20 seconds when I turned it off manually. One nice thing about this timer is that it goes to zero and then starts timing UPto tell you how long overtime you are.

Yes. The alarm is triggered when a sensor changes state. So if you leave it open and don't touch it, it will not trigger the alarm

Yes . You have to turn the alarm off or it resets after 2 hrs of it being triggered.

It does not shut off. I use it all the time with a white noise app, and my iphone alarm alerts me to wake up (much to my dismay!) . I have used it a few times without the white noise app, and my iphone alarm still goes off and wakes me up.

Five minutes. When the alarm button is turned off, then back on, the alarm goes off, even a half hour after the alarm first went off. To get the alarm to stop with the alarm button in the on position, I had to change the alarm time. Incidentally, I noticed that the clear plastic face cover is difficult to clean. I wiped it several times with a wet cloth, then again with dishwashing liquid on the cloth, and the plastic still was not perfectly clean.

Timer has to be reset every time. Alarm does eventually stop but after a long while..not sure how long but perhaps a minute or longer. Like the timer

The alarm turns off on the front, easily with that. Tutor. However, the switch on the back to toggle between visual notification, vibration, and alarm is small and might be difficult.

Do not use the alarm, but when it does go off it is like a buzz. Will wake you up if close.

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.

The sensor can't be turned off. Once set and the alarm is turned on, if the two pieces are moved away from each other the alarm will sound.If an attempt is made to open the sensor it would be moved away from its counterpart which would fire the alarm.As a side note, we use ours for a sleep walking child who has left the house and it works perfectly.

No, you have to press the start/stop button to turn off the alarm. However, the alarm will turns itself off after one minute.

Hi - If you set the timer to count down, after it counts down and goes off, it will count up, but no alarm at the end of a count up time if that is what you are looking for. BEWARE of one thing about this timer. If you set it for an amount of time and it goes off, a normal individual's (me?) expectation would be that when you hot the switch to turn it off, that's it and the alarm will not continue to sound. Well, that's wrong. This crazy product will continue to ring every (30 secs? 1 minute?) until you go stark raving mad and exile it to another room so you no longer have to hear it. BUT - there is a solution I only recently discovered on my own. After you hit the STOP button, hit the button on the upper left side of the screen to return to the Clock function and the alarm will not continue to sound. This may sound crazy but the alarm problem was so annoying I avoided using this timer for about 2 years until I stumbled over this solution. And in answer to your second question, you would have to set alarm times and have the alarm go off to do a count up, but the 3 channels are independent.

No, it doesn't turn off by itself...to my chagrin. I have forgotten it and left it on overnight quite a few times myself.

If I unplug the unit, the alarm goes activates. If I plug it back in, the alarm goes off. Hope this helps.

We set three alarms. I do not remember needing to cancel or turn off the fourth one. It wasn't a concern and never came on. We are not using the unit at this time, but never had a problem with it.

When the alarm goes off, it gets annoying after awhile, so we have pressed the alarm button within 5 minutes to turn it off. I'm pretty sure it will sound until the temperature has returned within the set range or is turned off. Just be sure to press the alarm button again when the temperature is within the range you set, to reactivate the alarm mode.
