When the cord is pulled out to set off alarm how difficult is it to reconnect the cord to the alarm? How do you silence the alarm? on off switch ? I

very easy to reconnect. That magnet on the front re-engages easily which will silence it. Also, I'm 99% sure there is an on/off switch - the device is at my parents home (out of town). Product was great for our needs!

We use the system with any phone someone has in the house. But you need to plug the phone cord directly into the unit and not into the phone. If you want to use the telephone you must disconnect the alarm and replug into the phone. This is a very good alarm unit but some people do have problems setting it up. Once you figure it out you can call you home from any location and receive information about the temperature in the house, and power.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the device. My unit simply shuts off with no alarm whatsoever. You may want to contact the seller for more information and/or an exchange.

Is there a delay so that the alarm doesn't sound right away. Scenario: I'm leaving the house and want to turn on alarm; when I turn on the switch, does i make noise right away?

You don't need to turn it off. It is like a digital wristwatch. As long as the alarm isn't constantly going off the battery will last for several years. In the case of the wired remote, just be sure it isn't set to continuously trigger the shutter before you put it away. Batteries last about 2 years in mine.

The alarm will sound when the plug is removed. You have to push the button to silence it. This is so the parent will know if child unplugged it or came unplugged while they slept.

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

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

I have an alarm system; someone broke into my house after midnight when I was out of town. My neighbors didn't even hear the alarm from the security system. Can this unit be attached to my existing system and it so, will it have to be manually turned off?

Hi, It sounds like you had a power failure or lighting strike to the system. This happened to me and the alarm continued to sound-off. The only way to stop the alarm from ringing is to disconnect it from the main power source. Rotate the entire alarm counter-clockwise until it is unsecured from the base. There is a socket plug connector to the power source. Unplug. If this the only unit in the house that is sounding, it is defective and needs to be replaced.

if you touch the alarm when it's on it will go off and will scare the crap out of the theif before he can turn it off it is very loud. i have placed it to where it can't be seen so there is no chance of anyone turning it off with out alerting me.

Pulling the strap away from the unit pulls the pin out of the unit and triggers the alarm. Pushing the pin back in stops the alarm so that you can reuse the device numerous times. You can either put the strap around your wrist and hold onto the unit or you can wrap the strap around something like a purse strap and then push the unit through the strap. That way, it is always connected to the purse strap so you can easily find the device and yanking it away from the purse sets it off.

Per the items description: ..."The alarm is activated by simply pulling the pin" ... "The PPS8 also includes a miniature LED light, activated by a separate on/off button". The button you see is for the light. You can wear the alarm around your neck or hooked on a purse. Much quicker to yank on the cord to activate the alarm, BUT it MAY be more prone to accidentally setting it off if the cord is caught somewhere.... (P.S., it IS very LOUD!).

It took us a few months to realize that it will turn off sooner. Here's how to make the alarm go off. Make sure that the white plastic thing inside is pushed up as it says. Then you put the top back on. Slide the white door down to the pill compartment. When the alarm sounds it should go off when you open the door to take out the pills. Make sure that you close the door again after you take your pills out. I hope I explained it right. Good luck.

the horn goes off when triggered by your alarm system. The horn alone is useless if you do not have a wireless alarm system to trigger it.. hope that makes sense?

The button at the top between the volume buttons will turn off the music/noise. The light will stay on unless you push the light button too. Dont use the alarm 1/alarm 2 buttons on the sides.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do that the way other alarms do. I press the alarm button to turn it off, then just turn it right back on again. And that resets it for the next day. And then I can not turn it on for the weekend. Maybe in a fancier version there is more programming capability?
