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

There is NO on/off switch. I wish there was one on the front/back. You have to put the magnet back in it's place to silence the alarm.

The cord is attached with a magnet. VERY easy to re-attach. as soon as the magnet attaches to the alarm it is silenced.

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

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!

I never found a way to turn it off.. i think it goes into a sleep mode for a while but if it accidentally kicked or moved in any way it starts going off..and periodically it goes off by it self for about 20 mins or so after play there is no off switch! I seriously had a problem with this toy my son couldnt sleep with it sulley kept going off and waking him up!

Yes. Remove the cover from your Pitboss and locate the box containing four small toggle switches on the left side under the battery compartment. Move switch number 1 to the down position. Now turn your unit off, then power back on to reset. Your audible alarm is now off.

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?

Yes, it can be turned off, but only if she has access to the main unit. If you hid it outside her door at night, it would work. Also, from my previous experience, the alarm is very sensitive. Be sure that the unit is attached to the door before turning it on, otherwise the alarm will sound.

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.

There should be an on/off toggle switch next to where the cord attaches to the unit. It is red transparent plastic, but does not light up. It will turn the unit on and off. With the Down position nearest to the cord it is "on'. With the Up position on the side nearest to the cord, the unit is 'off'.

I have had mine for years and years but I can't really answer! I use the alarm sound which will go off ten separate times probably 30 sec. Or so apart. I have had on since around 1978-ish and am only on my second one. I t is set for 4 separate alarms. I love the convenience of being able to grab my alarm and a couple containers when we go to my son's for an overnight. Good size too for the purse don't you agree? If you haven't purchased it yet I suggest you do. Enjoy.

It will not go off unless you pull the trip cord. It's like a Hand Grenade. If you had the string hanging on the outside of your bag around your wrist and someone grabbed your bag then yes, it would go off inside the bag. I think better to have the alarm cord on your arm and if someone messes with you pull it and toss the alarm. It will continue to sound for one hour so that if you were knocked down the perp couldn't just stop the noise if you threw it out of reach. Well worth the small price for this much attention. Also, it would be comforting to someone to place one by the bedside if you hear something you could pull the cord and get that screaming alarm. It will not go off unless you pull the trip cord.

The unit needs charged. It will continue until charged. Did it come with a little red plug that you put into the alert or alarm spot on the front? If you have this, putting the plug back in should stop the charger from the high pitched noise. Let me know if this works for you.

If you turn off the alarm then it won't sound if the baby should stop breathing so defeats the purpose of having it. Our babies always slept through the alarm which only went off when they moved off the area covered by the pad. Hope this helps.

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!

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 is a button to silence the alarm - had to use it recently when a transformer failure knocked power out for a few hours.

I can see your point about turning it off. I have a cheaper unit that I keep in my shop. Thinking about upgrading. I just turn the sensor toward the wall when I'm working out there so the alarm will not be sounding constantly all day when I'm out cleaning or working. Kind of like telling the guard "don't shoot! It's me! Just take the afternoon off"! I just have to turn it back around when I lock up. Form a habit like pulling your keys out of the door after you lock the lock. It's just habit.

The alarm is designed to be plugged into your wall like any other appliance. If you have a bit of electrical knowledge you could hard wire it. I simply plugged mine in since I had an open receptacle. Hope this helps.
