How do you turn off the alarm when the power goes out?

You can control the audible alarm through the software provided by the manufacturer if you are running the unit from a PC. As far as I'm aware, CyberPower doesn't specifically make this software for Macs as the Mac has built in software for this purpose. The Mac software, however, does not let you control the audible alarm. Hope this helps.

Evidently the CP free software "Power Panel Personal Edition" enables the shutting off of the alarm. I say "evidently" because I'm running this UPS as backup for my NAS (a Synology DS-213) and router, not a computer....and I couldn't do it anyhow, because all our computers are Macs, with which this software isn't compatible. The NAS has limited software showing the basic functioning of the CP685AVR, but not really much in the way of controls. The few times the power's gone down, I haven't heard the alarm, but all that stuff is in a closet, so it may not even be audible when this happens. I'll have to yank the plug sometime just to see what it does. Evidently the CP free software "Power Panel Personal Edition" enables the shutting off of the alarm.

There is a slide switch on the back of the clock (top center). Select the number of times that you would like the alarm to go off, then set the times. Easy, easy, easy.

no- good question, if you are outside, and want to come in. the alarm will LOUDLY go off, and then once you walk IN the house you can reach to shut it off. IF you are INthe house and want to leave, you can press the bypass button, but you will need to close the door completely in a few seconds, or the alarm will go off. ( example--you can not go out and leave the door open b/c you're coming right back...you MUST close door as soon as you pass through it)

Forgot - you turn the alarms on or off by pressing the "F" buttons with a momentary press while the radio is OFF. I think I covered it. I hope.

Just hold to the power button on the bottom. The "blue" light will extinguish denoting that the power is off.

You can power it from an outlet, however the alarm bell will sound continuously. You will need to wire in a switch of some sort to avoid this.

Assuming it is the Kidde, there is a small plastic pin to remove AND NOT LOSE, twist it free and pull down carefully. There will be wires from the "box" to the alarm. Where the wires meet the alarm, there is a removable "plug." There are "panels" on each side you squeeze to remove it. It is then free to take down and to change the battery. I have never shut off the power nor ever gotten a shock. When inserting the fresh battery, make sure you push down the arm on the side and that the "ribbon" is beneath the battery. Good luck.

No, when the alarm goes off the only way to stop it is to enter the code or take out the batteries. The battery compartment has a set screw so it's not easy to get into.

Why would you want to? Switch off (open circuit an remove power) is the same as a power outage. Light would come on until battery dies.

There is a switch on the side that has 3 positions: Off, Alert, Alarm. Just switch to off during the day.

Plugs into standard 110 outlet. It also has a built in lithium battery so your alarm goes off when there is a power outage.

All you have to do is push the test button.. I also disconnected a hose from my propane tank and that small amount of propane that leaks out will set the alarm off.

On the left side of the back there is an on/off switch which will probably turn off the alarm if you move the switch down.

Hello George- To turn the alarms off you just need to hit the button on top with the picture of the alarm and (1) or (2). You will see the symbol that appears on the screen of the bell when the alarm is on. When the alarm is off you will not see the symbol. There is a symbol for each of the alarms so if you do not want either of them on there should be no bell symbols on the screen. Hope this helps!

Their is no alarm built into the switchYou could possible add an alarm thru a contact block. This is a 16 volt switch that simply breaks the connection if water is presentThe switch is designed for shuting down a furnace or AC unit if water is present. I have mine connected to a motorized valve that shut off my city water if water is present Good luck
