Is there a delay before the alarm sounds, so one could punch in the code before being deafened?

Yes, definitely. I can't remember the exact amount of time it gives you, but I was able to come in the door and put down the groceries in my arms before walking over to disarm it.

Yes, it beeps and a few seconds later the alarm goes off. Gives you time to turn it off or the intruder time to not be sure what exactly set off the alarm.

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.

It can be. Example: Set to 3 minutes and push Start/Stop. When the alarm sounds, press the Start/Stop once to silence it. Press a second time and it begins a new 3-minute cycle. Clear the setting altogether by pressing the Hour and Minute buttons at the same time. A very handy timer

I do not have the book with me since I am at work but is not the most user friendly. Yes you can delay any alarm in zone 1-8 which includes motion and wireless door sensors. I have the Fortress Security Store (TM) S02-A Wireless Home Security Alarm System. I found that the reference section in the back was easier to understand than the "How to" in the mid section. Also the book on the key pad is crappy. Before mounting the key pad plug it into the power adapter then push the switch on the back in the middle to turn the unit on showing a yellow light. (The switch is in a hole) If the yellow light does not come on hit the switch again. To link the key pad use the instructions on the main panel for a key fob. I used 33 for the zone number but you can use 31-33 if I remember. Once you run the procedure to link a key fob on the main panel hit the little switch on the bottom of the key pad and you should hear beeps. Also remember to change the password from "1234" which is the only thing in the book that is straight forward. Also another confusing thing is that the escape key arms the unit and the enter key disarms. I have a label machine and have relabeled the key pad just under the bottom keys. The bottom line is that the remote controlled key fob is the best way to go. I installed the key pad only for emergencies. I also had another issue and called the company and they were very helpful. This is where I found out about using the key fob procedure for linking the key pad.

Yes to the first question. You can set individual custom volume levels for alert tones, band audio volume, and both timed alarms. Can be set quite low for softer alerts.

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

The alarm will stop under 5 minutes of ringing. I don't know how long exactly, but under that.

Yes but the alert is not really loud enough to hear from ten feet away if there is ANY background noise.
2016498
Yes be sure the volume is up. You should hear the caller ID announced as well.

It's a quick chime, but it is loud. If you had the alarm setting on, yes, you'd lose your hearing and your mind if you let it run the whole time you were looking. But if you just have it on 'chime' you will have the quick chime notification (which is quite loud) but then it would be silent.

No, and although I sometimes miss this feature I presume they don't include this functionality on purpose b/c it would be a safety risk in a kitchen timer: user might disable the sound, forget the sound is off and as a consequence burn something in the kitchen.

My aide is in an upstairs bedroom, and when I press the button downstairs, I can hear the alarm upstairs (provided the doors are open). I assume that would make it loud enough for the person near it.

Yes. There is a test mode which when activated chimes when any alarm is triggered (window, door and motion detector).

Hi - I haven't discovered anything on the timer that would mute it. I'm afraid you would be rudely awakened by a loud beeping. I hope this helps with your purchasing decisions. Peggy

No. I think you'd have to set it for 25 minutes, and then 5 to get a warning. The only timer I've ever found with a warning beep (which I think is very helpful!) is the Teach Timer. It's kind of old now, and pricey. Good luck.
1206038
Yes. If you slide the button the button on it's side, you can turn it off before you open the door, or change it from alarm to an entry chime.

yes, a visual - parenthesis around whichever alarm is being set or going off. While there is also sound, unfortunately the single beep does not correspond to #1 alarm, 2 beeps does not correspond to #2 alarm, etc. Would have been much easier if 1 beep had been for #1, 2 for 2, 3 for 3!
