Can the alarm flash as oppose to beeping? (i.e. silent mode)

Not to my knowledge. I use it all the time but know of no way to enter it into a flashing mode.

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.

No. If chime is turned on, the control panel will beep. If the alarm is armed then the siren will go off. But the contact itself makes no sound.

Terrence S is right. This model only has beeping noises. If you want the cooler alarm audio options, you need to get a more expensive model(s), and yes the sounds fades in i.e. it starts low and gradually gets louder just as the light starts dim and gradually gets brighter.

There is no way to adjust the volume of this alarm. It is all or nothing, and would definitely be too loud. However, it is possible with this specific device to only blink the light. It shows up as a fader (I use it with Nexia) and setting it to 1% will only make the light flash with no audible alarm.

I've only noticed the red light flashing, I haven't noticed a beep but I really haven't read the manual to see if you can set it to alert you witha beeping sound so I couldn't say for certain if that's available on the phone or not.

Not that I am aware of...it is more of a beeping crescendo...I'll be honest...I'm a light sleeper and have slept through the alarm function numerous times...but it may work for another person...it is nice to have three settings and I still utilize it for a back-up alarm...

Yes. The only slight draw backs are that some times pressure on the pad can set it off as well. Once you set the unit...if you unplug it, apply too much pressure to the pad, it will sound the alarm. (False alarm) Just reset the Chummie (Top button) when this happens and you are ready to go.

No. I beeps at the end of the time only. BTW, I discovered that it also can act as a stopwatch (i.e., counting up). I don't think there's any alarm in that mode, although I haven't let it go to 99+ minutes to see. (grin)

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 you can, no beeping but the sound will be muffled (max. volume will help).

You can adjust between a full alarm and a beep. The beep is fairly loud, about once every two seconds. There is no way to adjust volume. I keep the base station by my bed, for monitoring at night, and I have reduced the volume by taping over the speaker on the base.

I'm not sure, I don't use this device any longer. However, I remember Option had a program on their website which allowed the user to change various settings in the device... It may allow you to disable the beep. Have a look at their website and see.

Yes! There is a button on the remote that has a musical note on it, and it allows you to use the beep alone. Hope that helps!

I personally use the bird sounds as the audio alarm but from what I can tell the best way to accomplish what you want is to turn the alarm volume down all the way. Then the light alarm will still do it's thing but the audio alarm will be very quiet/silent.

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.

If by silent alarm means nothing is felt, heard, or seen when you want it to alarm then YES! :) Unfortunately, this does not have any alarm nor any type of audible or mechanical notification. It is a trade off for having a device whose battery lasts up to a year.
