Getting some erratic behavior from my Ambient 2. Turns itself on at odd times and the alarm has not been going off. Been okay up to now.

Agree! mine turns off itself once in a while or loses connection. To this point I can still live with it. I like it so much!

I don't use the alarm but did have some trouble with the time staying set. This seems to have been resolved with the latest update.

If erratic and unwanted operation continues I would email Cambridge Soundworks.

The unit seems to spend a lot of time downloading (uploading?) information from time to time. My unit often won't turn on, or, only after a lengthy update process when I turn it on. I just remove the plug on the rear of the unit, wait at least 30 seconds, then re-install the plug. The unit will go though another update/and/or diagnostic process and then shut down. THEN, you can press the power button and it will again function properly. The time setting function ONLY works automatically when you actually log onto an internet function such as turn on an internet station. then, the time will sync.

Have you contacted their customer support department? I had an issue with mine and they returned my email within a day with a solution to my problem.

I have experienced the same behavior but only a couple of times, not so much I have been bothered by it. Sorry but no solution for you. �

We have two cubes and are able to either flip it to zero or hit the off switch to turn the alarm off. If flipping it to zero is not working then it sounds like it is defective.

I had it set incorrectly the first night and the alarm sounded at 5:30am (sigh)... it's the third setting, not the forth. :-)

If it's plugged in to charge it sometimes freaks, the other is any oils from your hands over time if not cleaned off will make it freak out too... Clean the screen really well and reboot, might just clear that up for ya

is the alarm setting on its own when you plug in the battery? It should only activate when you hold down B, maybe you got a defective one or you have a battery that is almost dead. I would try a new battery. I ordered 2 at the time since there so cheap and I got 2 working alarms! only thing i can think that would make them better is if they gave off a electric shock.

It sounds like a battery issue. That happened to me and I had to replace the battery.

I don't think so. At first I thought it was really cool and working but now I noticed it goes off AFTER I've gotten up. so I will have already gotten early and done a few things and then the alarm starts.

Mine has never had a problem. The only time the alarm goes off and it shows that is if the battery dies on the camera and it just warns you that it's no longer able to give u video feedback. Make sure both are fully charged and maybe that will help.

I'd suggest going to a local car alarm spot and have them take look at it because a lot of times its a simple fix within the car like syncing the devices again.

email the company and tell them what is happening.I had to do it with ours. we also were having problems with intermittent alarm going off when there is no movement with cameras. the company has been great in helping us and repaired and or replaced them. that is the only thing I could tell you to do. but overall I did not think that there would be so much wrong. return the whole thing if you can.

On mine, the alarm on nature sounds goes very loud, very fast. Very annoying.

I set my iPhone clock app to wake me up through the iHome iPL10. When the alarm turns on it is very faint then gradually increases in volume. Never "scares" me awake. Not sure if that is the iPhone clock app alarm or if it is the iHome that controls the gradual increase in volume. I have not used the integrated alarm on the iHome clock - but my guess is that the iHome controls the volume as well. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

I've been using it for a couple of months. Never had that problem. Your run may be too far for the power supply to handle, your unit may be defective, there may be a setting on your phone that sets it to sleep. Gotta Troy me shoot it.

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.

I have that problem, too. Imagine changing the battery might help. Haven't tried it yet, since I don't really need it.

We've used the same battery for 8 months now! I am coming on now to buy a new battery as the alarm has gone off a couple times the last couple nights, but I don't think it's my baby not breathing, but rather the alarm being funky. I think changing the battery will fix the problem, but we'll see!
