Can the alarm noise be disabled? If I just want to wake up via the light, can I do that?

It cannot. The speaker cables cannot really be cut either as it is a tiny soldered speaker. Do not let the size of the speaker grate fool you: it is not that big at all. If you take a drill, you should be able to destroy it if you enter through the center hole in the speaker grate.

i don't own this, but am interested. however, to your question, I would guess that if you were able to find any screws, tabs, or any sort of closing mechanisms you could open it up and disable any speaker you see.

Unfortunately I do not believe that it can be adjusted or disabled. I could be wrong but I couldn't find any controls for it. I think you need to buy a larger, higher end model if you want that feature.

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!

Yes you can wake to the sounds or the radio or a beeper. The wake-up sounds start at zero volume then slowly increase to a predetermined upper volume level. Then there is a snooze (with variable settings) or any button will turn the alarm off. There are a lot of complexities to all the features, but it's okay once you get used to it. I recommend this product.

You sure can. You can turn off any of the audio alerts by navigating to Settings > Audio Feedback. More details here: https://community.automatic.com/automatic/topics/why_does_it_beep_sometimes_can_i_turn_it_off

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

Yes! I use the sleep machine app. And the alarm sounds over that. Hope this helps

We were able to turn the audio off. There is a setting to mute the alarm. We are away on vacation now and do not have the book with us but it was clear in the instructions how to mute the sound. Not sure why you are having problems. Worked great for us. Sorry couldn't be of more 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.

Yes. You can set it for when you wake. It turns itself off after 2 hours as well.

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

Turn off the sleep timer. Put it back on 90, wait for the light to go off, then push/hold the red OFF button until it stops. Otherwise, you might just be hitting the snooze button to the alarm. Lol

Not easily done. The speakers will "turn off" for lack of a better term, which will make the sound come out only from the phone. I don't know if there's a setting that can be changed to keep that from happening. Before bed I just turn up the volume on my phone to wake me up in the morning.

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...

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

If you find out please let me know. You can use the light on its own if you turn it on by hand (not using the alarm) but I haven't been able to get the alarm to use the light only) Sorry, this wasn't super helpful, but at least you know you're not alone!

Yes. You can disable the power alarming feature via one of the dip switches on the back of the unit. One of the answers below describes a feature about changing the time to wait for the power to be out before calling you with a power alarm. This also helps, but to turn off the power alarm call-out feature entirely, you can do it via the flip of a switch on the back of the unit.

I have not found a way to mute the beep. I wish I could because it tends to wake up my wife when I open it on the way to work.
