To disable an alarm on your iHome iBTW390, you can either temporarily silence a sounding alarm or permanently turn off a set alarm. The process involves using the dedicated alarm buttons on your device.
How to Disable Alarms on iHome iBTW390
You have two main methods for managing alarms: temporarily silencing an active alarm or permanently deactivating a set alarm.
1. Temporarily Silencing a Sounding Alarm (Snooze or Turn Off)
When an alarm is actively sounding, you can temporarily stop it or engage the snooze function.
- To Snooze:
- Press the SNOOZE/DIMMER button located on the top of your iHome unit.
- The alarm will stop sounding for a predetermined period (typically 9 minutes) and then sound again. You can usually press this button multiple times during the snooze cycle.
- To Turn Off the Alarm for the Day:
- Press the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 button corresponding to the alarm that is currently sounding. This will turn off the alarm for that day, and it will reset to sound again at the same time the following day.
- Alternatively, pressing the Power button may also turn off the alarm for the day.
2. Permanently Disabling a Set Alarm
To prevent an alarm from sounding at all, you need to turn it off within the alarm settings. This typically involves accessing the specific alarm's settings and toggling its status to "OFF."
Here are the general steps to permanently disable a set alarm on your iHome iBTW390:
- Access Alarm Settings: Press and hold the Alarm 1 button (or Alarm 2 if you want to disable Alarm 2) for a few seconds until the display begins to flash, indicating you are in alarm setup mode.
- Navigate to On/Off Setting: Once in the alarm setup, you will typically cycle through various settings like alarm time, alarm source (buzzer, radio, Bluetooth), volume, and finally, the ON/OFF status.
- Use the Alarm 1 button (or Alarm 2 button) to cycle through these settings. Each press confirms the current setting and moves to the next.
- Select "OFF": When you reach the ON/OFF setting for the alarm, use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons to toggle the alarm status from "ON" to "OFF."
- Confirm and Save: Once "OFF" is displayed, press the Alarm 1 button (or Alarm 2 button) again to confirm this selection and exit the alarm setup mode. The alarm will now be permanently disabled until you choose to turn it back on.
This table summarizes the actions for different alarm management scenarios:
| Action | Button(s) to Press | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Snooze a sounding alarm | SNOOZE/DIMMER | Alarm pauses for a set duration, then sounds again. |
| Turn Off for the Day | Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 (active one) | Alarm stops for the current day; resets for next day. |
| Permanently Disable | 1. Hold Alarm 1/2 2. Alarm 1/2 to cycle 3. +/- to select OFF 4. Alarm 1/2 to confirm |
Alarm is deactivated and will not sound until manually re-enabled. |
By following these steps, you can effectively manage and disable alarms on your iHome iBTW390.
