I take a daily office nap. The timer hangs outside my door with Do Not Disturb until 0. I don't want the alarm to sound. Can you shut the sound off?

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

I do not know of a way to mute the alarm. Do you not have a computer or iPad in your office. Set the timer on those.

Unfortunately, the only way to stop the audible alarm is when the timer reaches zero. There is no mute button. The alarm only sounds in the count-down mode. You can't make the alarm beep after a specified amount of time when it's in the "stopwatch" mode.

If you did this it probably would set off the alarm and I am not sure you want to do this if you do not need to. It is a very loud sound.

I have sensitive ears, so the alarm was so loud to me that I didn't just let it go to see if it reset itself. I just shut it off physically. Hope that helps.

There is a switch on the side of the alarm to turn it off. It will go off when you open the door. It is very sensitive and even a heavy truck going by our house on the road will set it off. I have another alarm that might suit your purpose better that I use. It is a GE 45117 and it has a key pad on the unit. You set your own code. If the door is opened it will go off and it has an ear-splitting screech on that baby. You can put this on the outside of your door, it comes with removable adhesive. You could use the Techko on the inside while you are sleeping. This one just hangs on the door knob. Just a thought. There is a switch on the side of the alarm to turn it off.

Yes. You can pick a sound and leave it on for as long as you like. You can also set a timer that will turn the sound off. So, if you want to go to sleep to a certain sound, but don't want it to play all night long, you set the timer and it will turn off by itself.

I set mine to silent. I can be set to an annoying pinging alarm, a 'dog barking' or a message which you record.

I cannot answer that question since I haven't tried to fall asleep to music. All I can report is that there are options for the alarm setting.

Yes, it can be turned off, but only if she has access to the main unit. If you hid it outside her door at night, it would work. Also, from my previous experience, the alarm is very sensitive. Be sure that the unit is attached to the door before turning it on, otherwise the alarm will sound.

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.

No there is no way to turn it off. Unless you tried to pull out the speaker. Which I'm sure would void any warranty, I'm not sure how hard that would be either.

Yes you can wake to the sounds or the radio or a beeper. The wake-up sounds start at zero volume then slowly increase to a predetermined upper volume level. Then there is a snooze (with variable settings) or any button will turn the alarm off. There are a lot of complexities to all the features, but it's okay once you get used to it. I recommend this product.

I tried to use without alarm but foind it would not dial without the 9 volt battery installed. I suppose you could disable the speaker or cover it with tape.

There is mute button on the back of the main unit. It is there because it is the ONLY way of turning off the alarm. Unlike what other people have stated the Alert mode goes off every second when the door is open and shuts off when closed, It is about as load a loud microwave ove, louad enough to wake you but not ear piercing like the alarm mode. The Alarm mode triggers once the door is opened and does NOT shut off even after the door is closed. The ONLY way is to press the mute button on back. It is very loud!! It's loud enough to be scary. I recommend you use alert mode for wandering children or pets. Alarm mode is only good for serious break-ins not for wandering children or pets. There is mute button on the back of the main unit.

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.

It really doesn't make many sounds. It will make a noise when it is first placed on your arm to let you know it is working. It will make a noise if the connection is lost to let you know you aren't connected. Other than that, any other sound will come from an alarm you set. I don't think there is a way to completely silence the device by turning off the connect/disconnect notifications.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do that the way other alarms do. I press the alarm button to turn it off, then just turn it right back on again. And that resets it for the next day. And then I can not turn it on for the weekend. Maybe in a fancier version there is more programming capability?

Hi I don't think so. I have this alarm also and I do not know any way to mute the alarm. Thanks for asking Frank
