I heard that store alarms go off when you have it with you, how true is this?

~I haven't tried it yet but I doubt it 100% because there is nothing on or in it that would trigger the alarms.

No! It will continue to alarm until you put in your code. Only then will it shut down.

If the door has a glass window on it I would assume it would work the same way. If the window breaks or vibrates it should set off the alarm.

We set three alarms. I do not remember needing to cancel or turn off the fourth one. It wasn't a concern and never came on. We are not using the unit at this time, but never had a problem with it.

The alarm should not be able to go off if it doesn't have the break disc in between it. Even with the unit off the bike and in the locked position, it should not go off. Maybe you have a faulty unit.

Yes! You can put on alarm or chime and shut either one off when you want to.

No, there is one alarm that goes off if the chair or bed sensor is triggered. You do not have to tell this alarm which sensor to monitor, it works when either one loses pressure at all times. You have to turn the alarm off and reset it when it goes off. This alarm can be put in one place in the home, or carried with you - it is the size of a small book. Sometimes I would take it outside if I had to do some work out there. This was truly lifesaving for my mother. I would just run to her room and make sure she did not fall (she has dementia and falling had become a problem.) I purchased mine through Kerr Medical and they were extremely helpful, I recommend them. No, there is one alarm that goes off if the chair or bed sensor is triggered.

If they are hardwired they are designed to all go off if one goes off. This way if you are in another part of the house you know there is an alarm within the house.

I have never experienced a false alarm. The unit has a low battery light to tell you when it is time to change the battery. I have used my unit since 10/27/11 and have not needed to install a battery yet. I personally think it is a tremendous value for the money!

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

Yes, the bed alarm goes off quickly. It would go off in my room, I would get up & go to my mother's room and be there just as she was sitting up. That way I could help her out of bed to use her bedside commode. I didn't have to worry about her falling in the middle of the night, and she never could understand how I knew she needed help!

A thief can, if they are thinking clearly, after the alarms gives them an earful. If not, like most, they'll likely take off running. Or maybe they'll just burn the place down which no alarm can prevent. For the money this is a nice product. Though I am only using as a door chime.

If you did this it probably would set off the alarm and I am not sure you want to do this if you do not need to. It is a very loud sound.

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.

Thank you to everyone who answered, it seems if somebody activates the alarm, it will not shut off until someone kicks the door down and rips it off the wall

Happened to me at 1 am a few times! It is alarm. I don't have it handy or I could give more details. The instruction sheet should help you out though. Good luck :)

No it doesn't, and I've had a lot of false alarms and it gets super annoying, seems to go off when the lock is unlocked and not go off when it's locked, I ended up just removing the battery because all the false alarms.
