Hows the alarm turn on and off, this thing going to get set off every time i try and unlock at 4am, that won't be nice to my neighbors?

You have to use the key to turn it on or off. It's a fairly fast process and for those fractions of seconds, it should not be bothersome to your neighbors.

That's my one complaint with this thing. The key hole is kind of vague when you are trying to insert the key. Once it's in I have to turn it till the cylinder pops oust about a half an inch. It's an adrenalin filled ten seconds or so to try and do this before the alarm triggers. I fail about one in three tries. Maybe if I used it more than once every two weeks I'd get better at it?

I haven't tried it yet as I just got it today, but when i was setting the alarm there was a bell symbol and it was either normal or with a slash through it. my assumption is that when you select the slash though, the sounds will be muted.

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.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do that the way other alarms do. I press the alarm button to turn it off, then just turn it right back on again. And that resets it for the next day. And then I can not turn it on for the weekend. Maybe in a fancier version there is more programming capability?

You simply push the panic button and the alarm sounds. I guess it is for if you are in your house and are having an emergency or being invaded then maybe the neighbors will hear and come to your rescue or maybe just the noise will scare the intrudes off? Kinda stupid I think, probably will never use the panic button.

The alarm should not be able to go off if it doesn't have the break disc in between it. Even with the unit off the bike and in the locked position, it should not go off. Maybe you have a faulty unit.

It's an alarm. We don't have ours activated to the alarm. We have ours to the video. Too much sets the alarm off.

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.)

You do not need to use alarms 3 and 4 if you don't need to they are just an option. Activate the alarms as if you are going to set them and when you get to three and four. go until they are blank then they will not go off at all. Write back if you need more help

There is a switch on the side of the alarm to turn it off. It will go off when you open the door. It is very sensitive and even a heavy truck going by our house on the road will set it off. I have another alarm that might suit your purpose better that I use. It is a GE 45117 and it has a key pad on the unit. You set your own code. If the door is opened it will go off and it has an ear-splitting screech on that baby. You can put this on the outside of your door, it comes with removable adhesive. You could use the Techko on the inside while you are sleeping. This one just hangs on the door knob. Just a thought. There is a switch on the side of the alarm to turn it off.

There wouldn't be any way for her to turn it off, but teenagers can be clever and she could probably find a way to keep the alarm from going off by removing the device from the door. If you could put it on the outside of the door, I don't know of any way to disable it.

I have had similar issues. My alarm has went off at incorrect times and twice now the alarm did not go off at all. I have since switched to a radio station for the alarm instead of my iTunes. I have not had a problem since.

The alarm can be turned on and off from inside. The bell/ chime is probably loud enough to wake you up, but shouldn't be "scary." It reminds me of the sound when you would drive into a full service gas station.

It is very confusing. I had a hard time doing it myself. I honestly don't even know how I did it. I just played around with it. I do not set the alarm bc it is VERY loud. It's also for my 4 yr old so he doesn't really need an alarm. I am sorry I am not much help.

There is a button on the unit to silence the alarm but it only works if the alarm is going off. There is no setting or button to disable the alarm if that is what you were asking.

My is at the entry of my house - also not such a great idea although it will alert you if the power is disconnected from it and there's a battery back up -- a burglar could still have enough time to take off, unplug it, and remove the chip before the system has time to react or sound. I think the best thing to do (and I need to do it myself) is maybe install some screws around it so it cannot be removed from the wall too easily or too quickly. I'm worried if move it far from the entrance or "hide" it -- it will be found anyway as soon as the alarm sounds or I won't have enough time to get to it and turn it off before it sounds. The only issue I see with this alarm is that a burglar w/ half a brain could destroy it before it was time to do anything more than send you text message that the power has been disconnected from it -- but it will also send you that message when there's a power outage.

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck
