When the alarm goes off do you flip it to zero or do you hit the off switch? Just bought this and I have to hit the off switch. Is this a defect?

Just turn it so the zero is facing up. The alarm should stop when you do that

I have two of these and both work by flipping to zero no trouble good alarm

You just flip it to zero. Mine doesn't always work now (after a year) but maybe because it needs a new battery...?

We have two cubes and are able to either flip it to zero or hit the off switch to turn the alarm off. If flipping it to zero is not working then it sounds like it is defective.

Hello George- To turn the alarms off you just need to hit the button on top with the picture of the alarm and (1) or (2). You will see the symbol that appears on the screen of the bell when the alarm is on. When the alarm is off you will not see the symbol. There is a symbol for each of the alarms so if you do not want either of them on there should be no bell symbols on the screen. Hope this helps!

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.

I use mine mainly in chime mode, but have used it in alarm mode with no problems. Just want to make sure you arm it correctly.

There will be a few reasons why your alarm may go off. Upon initial set up the system will test itself and check the battery, During this time you may hear the alarm. If everything checks out okay the alarm will stop and the battery will be on charging until needed. During regular operation you may hear the alarm because the system continues to do checks sporadically, about once a week. During a power outage the alarm will sound informing you that the system is on battery backup power. When the power returns the alarm will shut off. If the system finds any trouble such as the battery dying or the battery depleting itself during a power outage the alarm will go off more rapidly. If you receive a constant alarm that means that there is an issue with the battery, or you have overloaded the system with too many devices, which will not allow the unit to function on battery backup power. I hope you find this your question.

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.

If you're asking how to turn it off so there's no digits displayed - you cannot (besides removing the batteries). I can assure you though that the batteries do last a very long time. I got this to use in the kitchen and it has been working for more than 6 months with daily use. I also have the double timer version that has been running for over a year with the same batteries. If you're asking about the alarm, when it's going off just hit the stop button or turn off the alarm using the side switch.

Same here....the alarm is way too sensitive......I ended up pulling the battery and using the lock without the alarm

Is there a delay so that the alarm doesn't sound right away. Scenario: I'm leaving the house and want to turn on alarm; when I turn on the switch, does i make noise right away?

Touch it w/ toe to get it to come on and go to 0. After it turns off, it's recalibrated. I do it twice.

I have had similar issues. My alarm has went off at incorrect times and twice now the alarm did not go off at all. I have since switched to a radio station for the alarm instead of my iTunes. I have not had a problem since.

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.

I had this happen twice shortly after my home was constructed and everything was new and I'd moved in. The alarm turned itself off at after 30 seconds. The only thing I could think of is that something new was "outgassing" (paint, plywood glue, etc.). Just to be sure, call your alarm company or an installer of smoke alarms to see if one of your sensors units has gone bad.

Yep it's the button on the side. Push for on and push for off. My button make a loud click when I push it. Also, you might double check to make sure your unit is charged. I'm very happy with mine.

Forgot - you turn the alarms on or off by pressing the "F" buttons with a momentary press while the radio is OFF. I think I covered it. I hope.

It is important to adjust the sensitivity on the unit. I would turn the adjustment until it alarms and then back off about half turn. That way it is pretty sensitive.
