Hi,
My girlfriend has the above alarm in her house and she reports that it's never really worked since she moved in. It's pretty ancient and she's not too bothered about it.
There was a powercut the other night which set it off and we now can't switch off the alarm from sounding. I've tried disconnecting the battery but this hasn't worked.
I have managed to silence it by unpugging the speaker but are there any disadvantages to this as a quick fix?
I guess it'll still be drawing a small amount of current but I'm more concerned about any safety implications such as shorting out/overheating etc (as you can probably tell electrics aren't my strongpoint!)
Can anyone offer a better solution? Thanks
ps - I've taken pics of it but have tried and failed to upload them
