That absolutely guarantees no one will take any notice if it
goes off for real.

I don;t mean let it go off for 15minutes - I mean allow it to sound
for 15/30 seconds or so *by accident*, so that people get used to the
fact that it exists & whose & where it is.


My normal recommendation when you install an alarm is not not connect
up the external sounder until you've managed something like 3 months
with no false alarms. That way, you don't destroy any goodwill in
your neighbours with the initial teething problems.

depends how its been installed, and the ability of the user I spose

(A wireless alarm might not have an option not to have the external
sounder active, whilst having the rest of the system operating.)

mine does if I wish it
