The description says that the panic button activates the alarm. I only see one button that says arm/disarm. How does the panic feature work?

I have not been able to use the panic feature - You are right, it has one button.

I use the remote key pad nest to the entry door to arm and disarm the system. The main control panel is hidden, should take a burglar a minute or more to locate, time enough for control panel to complete notifications.

No, it does not have a panic button. Yank the chain out of the device to activate and plug it back in to stop it.

its a siren which needs to be connected to an alarm system, the alarm gets disarmed when you enter your code into the panel/keypad, this is not a standalone siren

YES, follow Martin Fanghanel's instructions, but, BUT! this is CRITICAL, once you RELEASE 147, install the battery, then CLOSE THE CLAMSHELL COMPLETELY, BEFORE checking new MPINin Armed-Chime-Mode (000A#). If clamshell is NOT closed, ALARM WILL SOUND due to anti-theft-break-open feature of the unit. Return to Disarm by entering new MPIN (000#). Took me awhile onthe phone with "Virgil" at Skylink, but he was perfect!

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.

I have alarm.com. The code to unlock must be set/changed at the door. The code within the Alarm.com system should be the same as that door code if you intend to have any triggers such as [correct code at door = disarm system]. I have not yet had to change any of our codes (haven't had it very long) if there is a "syncing" between the door and the system so codes could be changed remotely, than I am not aware of it.

Sorry - I haven't got the sensor - just the panic button, so I can't tell you

Yes. The alarm is triggered when a sensor changes state. So if you leave it open and don't touch it, it will not trigger the alarm

The alarm key fob/remote control that you installed in the vehicle push the unlock button and it will shut it off. now, ig you are arming the alarm with the new key fob/remote and then using your key or orginal remote/to get in car the alarm will keep going off because that is not made to shut the new alarm off. You need to use that new remote only.....

The easiest answer is to buy some extra presence sensors. Then when they are detected you can have the home disarm. For example, I keep one on my keychain (mostly because from your phone you can make the presence sensors beep to find it) and one in the glove box of my car. When my keys and car are both gone, it activates away mode which arms the alarm and locks any doors that i left unlocked. It also turns off all the lights in the house. When the sensors are detected again, the alarm disarms and the door coming in from the garage unlocks, and the system is changed back to either night or home depending on the time of day. Does this answer your question? As an added bonus, you'll be able to check the app on your phone to see who is home.

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.

Thank you to everyone who answered, it seems if somebody activates the alarm, it will not shut off until someone kicks the door down and rips it off the wall

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.

The keypad will seperate from the mounting plate, start at the bottom, it takes a little gentle prying. Turn off base unit, alarm will sound. Unsrew base plate and remount.... I have done it 3 times... I still have a problem with mine, even after a replacement unit, it will arm but not disarm the system. If you have any info, reply.

Yes, the alarm will go off when you pick baby up. This lets you know it's working. It will give a warning beep when you do so which allows you enough time to get back to the monitor to switch it off before the real alarm goes off, it's super easy to disarm though, one of the angel wings you slide up and down to turn on and off. Super easy: you get the hang of it in no time!

I believe that may be complicated because there is a pre-alarm which occurs a few minutes before the actual alarm time. You would have to set something beyond 10 minutes and then ignore the pre-alarm. Perhaps someone else out there has figured a way to disarm the pre-alarm feature. This alarm works well, but I had to stop using it. It was so loud, my dog threated to leave home.
