Once it is activated, how do you turn it off if you are using the door alarm device? Also, how is battery life on this unit?

It is activated when a pin is pulled out of the device. This lets two contacts inside touch each other, which completes the circuit allowing it to make noise. Putting the pin in interrupts it and silences it. No idea how long the battery lasts once activated.

Once the hand held is activated you just push the pin back in the slot and the alarm stops. I had 3 secretaries demonstrate this for our group with no training and it was easy. Don't know about the window mode; did not purchase for that use. Battery life is 5 years.

Just pinch the two metal clips together or put the other pin into the hole. Battery life is long term, I use lithium cells

The unit itself is based on on-off switches. It's a very basic technology. For the door switch, think of it like a set of tweezers on a wire you slip into the door crack. When the tweezers switch comes apart from the door being opened, the alarm goes off. Since the unit is base on on-off switch technology, there's no drain on the battery other than what you use.

It is horribly strident I know,The only way to stop the noise is to put back the thin nail inside the hole. Good luck. If you are under a real attack and you have to run, it will probably ring a long time :-)Regarding the battery I do not know. I did not use the device in emergency for 2 years, but I tested it 2 days ago and it worked perfectly.

It has a pin you must replace with the right pressure- a small nail will do. It has a 9 volt battery, so it will go a long time. The sound drains the battery, the light is an led, so it doesn't take much power.

Unfortunately, you cannot turn it off unless you remove the battery. When you remove the battery, all the memory, including your stride measurement, etc. will be erased and you will have to re-enter all that information when you reinstall the battery. My first battery lasted for well over a year.

You have to move it for the alarm to trigger. Opening the door won't do it, but closing it will. You can adjust how sensitive it is, and how long it takes to arm after turning the key. So if you move it, it will start beeping and if you don't disarm it, it will trigger the alarm. Don't know how long the 9V battery lasts, because I just got mine a few weeks ago.

It has to be turned off. These are good for little ones who might want to explore or for far away doors/windows. Also good just in case someone does enter, gives you a heads up to prepare(if you will) but may scare off. Good to have primary alarm but good backup. Hope this helps....

Just turns on with the motion sensor and turns off based on a setting you make on the rear of the unit.It also has a dawn to dusk setting. I have not tried that setting since I wanted the motion activation.

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.

It took us a few months to realize that it will turn off sooner. Here's how to make the alarm go off. Make sure that the white plastic thing inside is pushed up as it says. Then you put the top back on. Slide the white door down to the pill compartment. When the alarm sounds it should go off when you open the door to take out the pills. Make sure that you close the door again after you take your pills out. I hope I explained it right. Good luck.

Sensors are always on. The master unit/receiver (alarm) can be muted. You would have to remove the sensor from the window, or door, (thus triggering the alarm) to remove the battery. Best to keep master unit in your bedroom. I have a sensor on my back door AND my daughter's window. You can set different beep quantities for the different sensors.

It goes through an alarm cycle every time the door is open unless you turn it off. We use it to let us know when someone goes out our back door to the pool area.

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.

Depends on what you mean by "turn the alarm off". I have only used the radio, so when it comes on you press the power button to turn it off. To not have it go off, press the Alarm 1 (or Alarm 2, if that's the one) button repeatedly until the little pictograph for alarm and sound are both off on the display.

I lined it up, opened the door. When the alarm went off, I took the backing off and stuck it permanently. It works perfectly. Someone opened my door one night and I heard the alarm from upstairs. The intruder left promptly. Also, it alerts when children leave or enter the house, or leave the door open.

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.

You pull out an activation pin. This allows a circuit to complete, setting off the alarm.

I would look and see if the battery protector strip is removed and that the batteries are in correctly. Secondly I would turn the unit off by taking the batteries out and starting over. You might to use the reset button. Good luck.

is the alarm setting on its own when you plug in the battery? It should only activate when you hold down B, maybe you got a defective one or you have a battery that is almost dead. I would try a new battery. I ordered 2 at the time since there so cheap and I got 2 working alarms! only thing i can think that would make them better is if they gave off a electric shock.

Hello Harold, I had never turn it off because in the user manual says that it turns off automatically, I have been using it for about 2 months and I did not replaced the battery as you mention.
