I have a cable similar to this, but it mutes the ringer and alarm automatically so I can only use it at night. Do these cords do the same thing? And having to unplug it in the middle of the night to make sure the alarm sounds is a pain. I was late for work one day because I didn't know it would do that. And you know that little "click" noise your phone makes when moving from task to task??? It doesn't even make that click sound when this data/recharge cord is attached. Are these like that because I don't need another one. I have a cable similar to this, but it mutes the ringer and alarm automatically so I can only use it at night. Do these cords do the same thing?

I never experienced that before. When plugged in and charging my phone still work the same.
178436
No mine never did that but it only worked for 1 day.... It finally came in the mail after waiting a month and after the first day it just stopped working and is broken which was very annoying
178437
Nope. I use mine every night to charge my phone & my alarm & other noises sound just fine. However my cord just stopped working the other day, it only lasted me about two months.. Maybe! But I guess you get what you pay for!

No, these will allow you to hear anything you need to. They break easily so make sure to connect and disconnect your phone carefully.

I got a pink one like this and the alarm does work and it has held together because I am the only one using it.

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.

You mean after the ladycomp alarm wakes you up? I hit any button once, and it seems to flash for me to take the temp. When it takes the temp, there is no more sound i believe. They have an email you can search for on google, and have been responsive to answer questions in the past. Hope you get it resolved. :)

Hi Norma. I never had a problem with it if I charged overnight. Its possible to get a couple of days between charges if its not on all the time like at work, etc. I work in call center so its off for 8hrs on those days. I was happy with it till I lost it. Like all most of the others. :-) Happy Halloween.

I returned this alarm, and I think it's for the same reason you're posting your question: I couldn't turn off the alarm - when triggered - and get it to work in a silent mode. I don't think I could position it so my cat wouldn't set it off, and yet work as intended.

The mute function on this phone works great for me. No sounds or clicks but, depending on the constant background noise level of the environment you use it in, there may be a major contrast in the silence of mute causing a noticable transition when turning mute on on/off. But this will be the case with any phone I suppose.

That's the problem: there is no comfortable way to turn it off. You will have to grab the device and switch it off, which will certainly result in the alarm sounding. It's very loud (and you will be at ground zero), so definitely wear ear protection when turning it on or off. This is one of the main reasons why, in my review, I describe this device as impractical. This alarm is a nice concept, but just doesn't play out all that well in practice.

I don't notice a clicking noise, though admittedly I'm a fairly heavy sleeper & I don't wake up until the maximum light & bird alarm. I would think a loud clicking would awaken me, so I'm voting yours might be faulty.

Can this thing work as a silent alarm? I want to use it so that I know if someone is walking through the hallway outside my office, but I want it to be silent on that transmitting end and be notified by the remote. Does anyone know of a product like that which I can use that is discreet and won't scare the crap out of my co-workers?

It is a plug-in with a battery back-up. So it keeps your settings if you have to unplug. It is working well for us. It has an alarm that can be set to ring for a duration of 2 min. or 30 min. We have it set to go off twice a day.

Not exactly. Your iPhone has access to various alarm apps and plugs into the speaker/charger. When you do this the clock on the device syncs to your iPhone clock. When the alarm app goes off, the sound is enhanced by whatever level you set the speakers on (unless you muted your iPhone then no signal would be sent to the speakers while docked). I use it all the time as my primary alarm clock.

In my experience no. If you are listening to music as night, when the music stops after some time the speaker turns off, though it keeps charging your phone. So when I wake up the speaker is off and the alarm sound come out of the phone. I am not sure if you played music all night (keeping the speaker active) if the alarm would play through the speaker, my guess is it probably would. I would test for you but I am out of town for the next few days.

I am wondering the same thing, I don't think it is possible to stop it. i will be sending it back because of this unless someone has a solution. My family is ready to kill me, the stereo is always on and every time I walk upstairs or back, or drive away or come back home my phone automatically connects and it makes the loud noise through the stereo.

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

With the added iHome app, you can dim it as much as you like. I am having some issues with the app though because it doesn't let me use the lower volume for the music part of the alarm. Since I use the white noise quite loudly to go to sleep to, this makes the alarm pretty loud when it goes off. There may be a way to fix this issue, I just haven't found it yet. If you don't go to sleep with sound or don't mind a loud alarm, it wouldn't be an issue for you.

The phone cord that comes from the wall goes into the box. You'll need a second cord that also plugs into the box, and then into the phone. The ring is louder, but still high pitched. Didn't work for my dad.

This device shuts of automatically after a few minutes and doesn't have a setting to alarm when a certain noise level is reached. It also eats batteries. It would take a lot of batteries to get through a work week, and it would be and a pain to push the power button ever 5 or so minutes throughout the work day, so this is probably not the best device. My work uses a device for the exact function you describe. It looks like a traffic light. You might consider it, although it is probably a lot more expensive.
