Is there any way to turn off the alarm on the nursery unit? I don't want false alarms to wake up my baby.

If you turn off the alarm then it won't sound if the baby should stop breathing so defeats the purpose of having it. Our babies always slept through the alarm which only went off when they moved off the area covered by the pad. Hope this helps.

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.

You can turn it off on the remote receiver. There is a switch that can change the alert tone or turn the receiver off.

Yes, the alarm will go off when you pick baby up. This lets you know it's working. It will give a warning beep when you do so which allows you enough time to get back to the monitor to switch it off before the real alarm goes off, it's super easy to disarm though, one of the angel wings you slide up and down to turn on and off. Super easy: you get the hang of it in no time!

You know Ted I never tried. When the alarm goes on I usually just press and hold the button near the light until it turns off. Hope this helps. Thank You, Will By the way, if you should know anyone looking for Houston Luxury Homes send them to www.ExtraordinaryLuxuries.com.

We stopped getting false alarms once we put a piece of 1/2" plywood under the mattress. Also, we added a small nightlight and it made the flashing blue light unnoticeable in the room. You can still see the blue light on the baby camera, it just doesn't flash in the room.

Yes, there is a little bit of a "click" sound when you manually turn it off and on, but nothing that should wake your baby up! I was able to edit my review to include a video where I turned it on and off a few times.

Yes. I have mine set with two alarms. The first one I set the sound level to level 1. What that means is as the light and sound gradually turn on, there is no sound until the very end. Then it is on at level one. Then the second one I set louder, because by then the light usually already wakes me up, so the sound lulls me out of bed if I haven't gotten up already.

I do not know of a way to mute the alarm. Do you not have a computer or iPad in your office. Set the timer on those.

There are four potential alarm times. Off is an option. Sadly, the clock I received would only provide access to one of these alarms, the other three would go off at the default time, and I couldn't turn them off. I returned the defective clock.

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 never found a way to turn it off and I put it in my babies room and was always scared it would wake him up. It never did thank goodness. I did like it when I was using it during the day b/c it would notify me that it needed to be refilled. But no, I never found away to make it not beep.

You can also shut the alarm manually. Since the alarm sounds in a different area (not the garage itself) it can be quite annoying for those around the alarm sound if the garage door is left open on purpose for an extended period of time. If my husband is doing something in the garage and needs the door open i.e. to get extra light in, I just press the button on the back of the receptor which is in my home office and then I only rely on the visual indicator (green or red light) to know when he has closed the garage door.

Honestly I didn't know that was an option. I really don't think there is one. I am currently at work and will try to remember to look when I get home. I assumed the alarm was preset and/or just went off when levels exceeded above normal levels.

yes you can! you can have the audible alarm at any setting from 0-20 (volume) so you could just set it at 0. you can also plug in your own sounds or download sounds. I haven't done either of those 2, yet. right now I'm working with the Crickets sound, because I accidentally unplugged the unit a while back and it un-set my radio station. the light stays on for about 2 hours, I've found, if you don't turn it off.

No it can't be heard in other rooms which is a bummer. What I did was put a baby video system in the room near the bed alarm and put the other end of the video alarm to where ever I was sleeping. That way I can hear it. We used it for my Dad. My Mom was sleeping in the same room and whenever it went off it would sometimes wake her. The other issues is that when the person using the bed alarm moves sometimes the alarm goes off even if they were not trying to get out of bed. It was a problem with false alarms but it was better than not having it. Hope this helps.

Sorry to say the sounds can not be turned off. Also if the alarm is not on level ground it will tip over. Other than that it works great.
