I have a cable similar to this, but it mutes the ringer and alarm automatically so I can only use it at night. Do these cords do the same thing? And having to unplug it in the middle of the night to make sure the alarm sounds is a pain. I was late for...

I got a pink one like this and the alarm does work and it has held together because I am the only one using it.

works great but you have to turn off alarm before you set the alarm off, no cherp

It was a while ago, but as I recall, there were two modes, day and night. Have you tried changing the mode? I felt the product wouldn't work for my application which required that it work in alarm mode BOTH day and night.

I have not had this problem. I do tend to try to stay away from the handset, or turn the cordless phone over so that room sounds are not picked up on that receiver. Hope that you can work it out!

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...

Samuel,Thanks for the instruction. However, I've found a novel solution. You see, I keep the iM600 next to my bed to listen in the morning and at bedtime. I found it very inconvenient to change selections while laying in bed. So being a lazy type, I opted for an extension connector cable that adds two feet between the player and my Touch. Since it works with any adapter I left the default one in place. Now I can easily pick up the Touch and change programming without hardly lifting my head from the pillow. The cable was hard to find and not cheap but I found one at http://www.cablejive.com/extendercable.html. It works great for me. Samuel,Thanks for the instruction.

I believe that there is a "cut off" that will put the unit to sleep for a period of time (determined by YOU) after 3 or 4 wrong codes entered. There is a Z-Wave capability that may be able to send a text to the homeowner if the wrong code is entered too many times, but I don't believe it would actually cause a burglar alarm to sound. I hope this helps.

I'm having the exact same problem. One thing I have noticed - if the HDMI cable is not connected the "muting on" problem does not happen. For instance, I can listen to the TV audio through my Sony using an optic cable (as long as the HDMI cable is disconnected). But, within 10 seconds of hooking up an HDMI cable (even if I'm not using it) the "muting on" comes on. I can turn it off by hitting the "mute" button on the remote - but it will keep randomly muting itself every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Aaarrrrggghhh! EDIT: I was able to solve my problem by disabling the "automatic muting" feature. (Who wants THAT?). Here are the instructions from Sony on how to disable the "feature": http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=C1003157&fes=true

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.

I discovered this happened to me too. The only solution I found was to unplug it. I use mine at bedtime and then unplug it in the morning.

I tried to do the same thing with the same app and found it to be unreliable. Sometimes nothing would happen when the alarm was scheduled to activate. It may be the tune in app itself, as I've had some startup issues with it.

We were able to turn the audio off. There is a setting to mute the alarm. We are away on vacation now and do not have the book with us but it was clear in the instructions how to mute the sound. Not sure why you are having problems. Worked great for us. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

I do not think it will automatically shut off. The sound is too high pitched to let it go for very long. I immediately unplug it when the alarm goes off. Hope that 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.

You cannot use the device while it is plugged into a power outlet. So if you are using it to connect to a TV or something stationary, you can't just leave it plugged in and have it work the way you want it to. You have to unplug the power cord, power it on and then connect your headphones to it. Very annoying.

I think it could reduce the noise a lot. The other morning I was sleeping wearing these ear plugs, and I guess someone just accidentally triggered the fire alarm in the building. Usually, one can hardly stand the extreme harsh sound if he stays in the room, but that day my first reaction was the alarm was not in my building.

Hi Joel,The handsets do not have a night mode that suppresses the ringer after hours. You are able to manually turn off the ringer on any handset but that might not be satisfactory if you need it on a nightly basis. We use our handsets in our office (home-office) and in the house. We turn off the ringer in the guest room if we have visitors.
