Can you set it in Chime mode &amp; make the keypad required to turn it off? I would like to use it as a night time alarm when my 6yr old sneaks out of his room? The alarm setting would be too frightening in the middle of the night. Also, how do you install...

It will act as a doorbell when a door opens up (ding dong) :) really it does this.

On the one page instruction manual it says - "Immediately after inserting the batteries, the desired 4 digit security code must be set, simply press the desired 4 digits on the keypad." Now here is the "Note" following that sentence. "Note: After removing the batteries, press number 4 before installing new ones. The alarm must be re-programmed with your security code each time the batters are removed or replaced." I would say, remove your batteries, press number 4, insert batteries and immediately put in your desired 4 digit security code (the new code). I would think that removing the batteries and re-installing them is like programming it for the first time. If that is true then this is what it says under "Battery Installation" - "after you insert the last of the 4 AA batteries, the alarm will beep very loudly to indicate that the batteries are installed properly. Then immediately press your desired 4-digit code on the pad." If the first instructions doesn't work I'd try what it says under "Battery Installation". FYI - I mounted my units on the wall with the 3M velcro tape that can removed and moved without damaging walls. I wrote the security code on the back with a super fine Sharpie marker. I figure someone trying to break in will not think to remove the unit and look for the code when the alarm is sounding...they'll hopefully be running away :) I hope this helps. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. ... Good luck!

yes you can! you can have the audible alarm at any setting from 0-20 (volume) so you could just set it at 0. you can also plug in your own sounds or download sounds. I haven't done either of those 2, yet. right now I'm working with the Crickets sound, because I accidentally unplugged the unit a while back and it un-set my radio station. the light stays on for about 2 hours, I've found, if you don't turn it off.

The alarm comes on low but increases in volume, no matter what the volume setting of the sound you use. I have not used the Tone or Radio as an alarm but used Wind Chimes, and it was nice. Started low and gradually increased. If you are not a light sleeper, set the alarm maybe 1 or 2 minutes before you want to wake up so that the volume reaches a level that will wake you up in time.

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

There wouldn't be any way for her to turn it off, but teenagers can be clever and she could probably find a way to keep the alarm from going off by removing the device from the door. If you could put it on the outside of the door, I don't know of any way to disable it.

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.

I have not been able to get two chime units to work off single button. Information below appears incorrect. Would appreciate info if someone has found how to do it.

My unit works both on Chime and Alarm. It is important to align the magnet side properly vertically next to the alarm unit and about a half inch apart. When I arm my unit it beeps once. When I disarm it it beeps twice. I did forget to disarm it one morning and the alarm screemed loudly to let me know and I had to put in the code to stop it. I think the chime is more for the use of a business so you know when someone has entered the shop. You may need to start over and reprogram the unit. If that doesn't work I would return it. Good luck.

30 seconds to siren the alarm, that is too lonnnggggg. Specially you can hear the beep-beep sound from the MAIN control panel. that is not a good Idea, giving the burlar emough time to break the system before it siren. My solution is to buy another siren and disconnect the speaker from the main control panel. still 30 seconds, but burglar will not hear anything. the bad part is you don't hear anything either when you setting your alarm system. But I just both an on and off switch for the speaker. so I can hear when I do something with the system. I'm not sure if there is any other way to do easier than what I have.

Sounds like the radio has a problem. If the station you have set for alarm isn't accessible, the backup alarm 'chime' should have sounded. The fact that the clock is slow also makes me believe the radio is defective. Your question regarding having the time display quickly is a good one - I don't believe you can. It's another little annoyance in the UI that should be fixed.

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.

It is very confusing. I had a hard time doing it myself. I honestly don't even know how I did it. I just played around with it. I do not set the alarm bc it is VERY loud. It's also for my 4 yr old so he doesn't really need an alarm. I am sorry I am not much help.

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.

Hi Alex, There are many suggestions on programming your alarm within the comments section on this very item. I wrote explicit instructions on how to program this remote within my feedback rating, and you will find others did as well. Hope this helps you out. If you still need more info, a quick google search should help you find more related information. Good luck.

Yes. The only slight draw backs are that some times pressure on the pad can set it off as well. Once you set the unit...if you unplug it, apply too much pressure to the pad, it will sound the alarm. (False alarm) Just reset the Chummie (Top button) when this happens and you are ready to go.

Like others have mentioned, the sound machine stays on all night. That's what we do, we leave it on the entire night. I have never had a use for the timer. The button for the timer is directly below the power button. I've hit it accidentally once and found I had no sound in the middle of the night. But that's not a regular ongoing issue.
