If the alarm goes off the only way to silence the noise is to shut it off manually? If that is correct, that is a showstopper for us.

Yes . You have to turn the alarm off or it resets after 2 hrs of it being triggered.

Sort of. There is a trick I use to do just that. I have the unit alarm using the radio. If you turn the station to an unused frequency and minimize the volume the white noise produced is so low you will never hear it.

When you go to turn it off, it will detect you and it will go off - meaning, the alarm will sound. There is no delay or no remote. So, when you want to turn it off, simply turn it off. You can't stop it from detecting you.

Simply put the magnetic "plug" back onto the alarm unit and the alarm noise will stop. Very simple to operate.

Do not use the alarm, but when it does go off it is like a buzz. Will wake you up if close.

No. You have to turn the alarm off then turn it back on again after the time has past.

The alarm sounds until the dial turns back to zero. So, it does it on it's own. A matter of seconds.

If the room is right next door, yes you could hear the alarm. Yes, the alarm goes off until you turn off the unit.

Hi Christine, when the alarm goes off, push the power button and the alarm will stop.

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.

If you turn off the alarm then it won't sound if the baby should stop breathing so defeats the purpose of having it. Our babies always slept through the alarm which only went off when they moved off the area covered by the pad. Hope this helps.

So far, the alarm has never gone off for two hours, I have always shut if off manually. I don't believe it will shut off on its own.

If you don't shut it off when the alarm sounds, it will beep for 1 minute then shut off.

The only way I know how it turn the volume off. It won't beep when its done but it will still light up when is done. HTH.

By silencing the alarm you are in effect turning them off. The instructions walk you thru the process (holding certain buttons til dashes appear). You should get no movement or sound for those alarms(3 and 4). Hope this helped. It's been a life saver for me. Mom is fixated on her pills, and is always trying to get at them. As a matter of fact, I just ordered a second dispenser.

The alarm sound plays off the receiver. It's loud as all hell but that's the part in your house. It will annoy you before the neighbors.

If I unplug the unit, the alarm goes activates. If I plug it back in, the alarm goes off. Hope this helps.
