if one alarm goes off, causing all others to alarm, do you have to silence one and it will silence others? or you have to go to each unit to silence?

We've just always silenced the nearest one and that seems to shut them all off. Of course, if you're not with the one that triggered, it'll probably trigger again, but that's normal.

The silence button silences the alarm if it goes off. When the batteries are low it sounds a soft chirp. I have not tried to silence the low battery sound, I have only replaced the battery. My guess is the silence button would stop the low battery sound for only a little while.

There is a remote that you place in the house and yes that will go off along with the alarm on the unit.no it can not be remotely turned off. I don't thin any of the alarms can. Its part of the code so you have to go look at why the alarm went off.

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...

No, it will only silence that one alarm. If the smoke has not cleared in 4 minutes, it will sound again. It will also silence the low battery beep for 24 hours. (If your batteries happen to be low).Why are you finding alarms with missing batteries?

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.

I have an alarm system; someone broke into my house after midnight when I was out of town. My neighbors didn't even hear the alarm from the security system. Can this unit be attached to my existing system and it so, will it have to be manually turned off?

Hello, Yes, the alarm system once triggered, will sound for the determined amount of time you personally chose (00-30 Minutes). Then it will shut off, and reset. Meaning the alarm system is armed again, awaiting the next break-in attempt. Thanks. www.FortressSecurityStore.com

Yes, Pressing the silence button on the detector (Example kitchen) will silence all others. no need to silence each individually. You can press silence on any detector and they will all silence. If you don't know which detector was originally activated (for example a false alarm situation), you can visually check each detector after silencing. The detector that first triggered will be flashing a red LED and it flashes for a few minutes after the system is silenced for you to be able to determine which detector triggered first.

When you go to turn it off, it will detect you and it will go off - meaning, the alarm will sound. There is no delay or no remote. So, when you want to turn it off, simply turn it off. You can't stop it from detecting you.

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.

That's the problem: there is no comfortable way to turn it off. You will have to grab the device and switch it off, which will certainly result in the alarm sounding. It's very loud (and you will be at ground zero), so definitely wear ear protection when turning it on or off. This is one of the main reasons why, in my review, I describe this device as impractical. This alarm is a nice concept, but just doesn't play out all that well in practice.

Yes, the alarm still goes off if the door is left open. I just tried it tonight. The door closed when the alarm went off. When you open the door the alarm goes off. The alarm is a high pitched beep. I have high frequency hearing loss and cannot hear it in the next room.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the device. My unit simply shuts off with no alarm whatsoever. You may want to contact the seller for more information and/or an exchange.

Can this thing work as a silent alarm? I want to use it so that I know if someone is walking through the hallway outside my office, but I want it to be silent on that transmitting end and be notified by the remote. Does anyone know of a product like that which I can use that is discreet and won't scare the crap out of my co-workers?

No. Each unit is a seperate alarm. the large unit is not a "base" unit. It is a unit of it's own primarly for doors. It has a programmable code and a "chime" feature as well. It is VERY, VERY loud. The smaller units are not connect to the large one, nor or they connected to each other. They are loud, but not as loud as the large unit. They only have an "On/Off" switch, no code or "chime" setting. I bought some of the larger units seperately for my daughters to have on their aparment doors.

Our fire alarm goes off when some burns some toast. It doesn't have a silence button, so the person who burned the toast frequently takes the alarm down and removes the batteries to stop the racket. But then they forget to put it back up.I would be happy to get several OneLink alarms, but if every alarm in the house goes off when someone burns toast and there is no quick and easy way to silence them, that would be a problem.
