Why are the wake-up alarm and countdown timer alarms so much quieter than normal? If I set 'Siren' as my ringtone it's loud, if I set it as my alarm signal it's very quiet. It doesn't wake me up.

I have no problem waking up to the P800...and I love that you can set three different alarms.

What about when I'm cooking my pasta or rice and I set the timer for 10\12mins and I don't hear it, lots of unhappy faces at the dinner table!!!

in that case you just have overcooked pasta or rice, in case it happens again just tell your table buddy's it is fashion to eat it this way....

I have to agree that phone alarm or countdown is NOT a good option when cooking. Stick to the conventional cooking timers that has that loud annoying ring.

Hey guys I don't rely on it in the kitchen, I was just using that as an example. It's no big deal I was just wondering if there was any way of making it louder, seems silly that when using it as an alarm it's so quiet.
Thanks.

The Alarm and countdown timers use a cresending alarm (whichis actually quite nice) It starts low, but slowly goes higher (like the increasing ring feature).

I have both the T68 and the T300 and BOTH when they get to high volume high, are REALLY loud.

i think you can change the sound of these alarms with the melody you like. i did it.

so just get a melody that sound like an alarma and is very loud, i´ve got one, and you should solve the problem.

otherwise, like above, check your ears
