d Does the bed alarm go off quickly enough?.... I read one comment that said it takes 3 to 4 seconds before the bed alarm sounds.

Actually it's very quick. As soon as the weights off of it. Meaning of they swift it goes off. My mom was very light weight. I loved it. I could stay out of sight but knew what she was doing.

Honestly the light always wakes me up before the actual alarm goes off, it's a gradual light. I use the bird noise which is less alarming than beeping but as others have said all you have to do is turn down the volume.

I have had similar issues. My alarm has went off at incorrect times and twice now the alarm did not go off at all. I have since switched to a radio station for the alarm instead of my iTunes. I have not had a problem since.

I played around with it to see what it would do. A single beep sounds when motion is detected. Then about 15-20 seconds later the (obnoxious) alarm starts, and continues for about 30 seconds before it stops. I'm not sure how long it takes, but the unit does re-arm itself after the alarm has been sounded.

I let the alarm go for 20 seconds when I turned it off manually. One nice thing about this timer is that it goes to zero and then starts timing UPto tell you how long overtime you are.

When I use the alarm, I adjust the volume using the radio before bed. Otherwise, it will auto set. I hope that helps.

Hello, Yes, the alarm system once triggered, will sound for the determined amount of time you personally chose (00-30 Minutes). Then it will shut off, and reset. Meaning the alarm system is armed again, awaiting the next break-in attempt. Thanks. www.FortressSecurityStore.com

It is very easy too set the alarm without assistance. It only turns one way so if you go past your intended time just keep going around until you reach the desired time. As for the volume, I think it is loud. It is not the annoying buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of the previous models it is a digital beep which changes with urgency if you don't turn it off quickly.

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.

It depends on how much light will wake you up. The alarm time should be the time you want to wake up (it chirps at the alarm time) and you set the light for intervals. I set it for 15 min, because I start waking up pretty fast with any light. If you're a heavy sleeper 30 min might be better.Good luck!

I can hear it from my bedroom if I'm awake at 6 AM when it starts automatically in the kitchen/great room area. It doesn't wake me up so it's not that loud but I can hear it...

The minute the person gets up or attempts to turn over this alarm goes off. If you raise any part of your body that is resting on this it will go off. It is sensitive. I hope that answers your question.

It is very loud but it alarms near the bed the person is in. We used it for my Dad who was not supposed to get out of bed but didn't understand it. What I did was put a baby monitor next to the alarm in the bedroom so I could hear it in another room and then would run in and try to get there before he actually got up. The alarm also tends to go off when the person is just turning over or sitting up in bed.... there are a lot of false alarms. It's not ideal but it's better than not having it. Hope this helps.

Most of these type alarms have what they call a silence mode. If you push the test button while the alarm is going off it should silence the alarm for a said amount of time, say 5 minutes. What this does is gives you a chance to clear the air from burned toast for example. I will also say that many of these alarms are required to be photo electric which in most cases eliminates "false" alarms such as above. As I tell most of my customers please take the time to read the manuals supplied with the alarms and If you can't understand them have someone you know and trust look at them for you. Hope this helps.

When the alarm goes off, it gets annoying after awhile, so we have pressed the alarm button within 5 minutes to turn it off. I'm pretty sure it will sound until the temperature has returned within the set range or is turned off. Just be sure to press the alarm button again when the temperature is within the range you set, to reactivate the alarm mode.

This works really well for me. However when I want to sleep and still be able to hear the alarm, I usually use an app on my phone called WhinenoiseHD and that works better for me. It has a timer so it turns itself off after 2-3 hours.

When it gets stuck, it shuts down and beeps. It's like 8 quick beeps every 10-15 minutes or so. I've had it get stuck at night right when I go to bed and its perfectly fine in the morning.
