How to use the online alarm clock
As you hand the security post to the incoming guard, an alarm for 8:55 pm can mark the final check before the evening shift changes hands. Those five minutes before 9:00 pm are enough to confirm the keys, access cards and logbook have reached the right person without stretching the handover into the next hour.
While the incoming guard reviews the notes, keep this alarm page in the foreground and leave the sound turned up. A page moved behind other apps may stay active, but browser and phone settings can restrict its activity or silence its alert. The security shift could begin without the cue if the alarm page is closed or the phone falls asleep, so use a separate phone alarm when the handover must happen at the stated minute.
Before leaving the post in the evening, consider who at home may hear an 8:55 pm alert. A loud tone can carry through a Dubai flat when children are settling down or another resident is resting before an early start. Choose a brief, moderate sound, keep the phone close, and stop the alarm promptly once the replacement guard has taken over.
Common questions
Can I use the same feature on a phone?
You can use the page on a smartphone and follow the countdown until 8:55 pm. The browser may lose permission to stay active once the phone locks or another app takes over, which can suppress the audio, so a mains-powered desktop or laptop is the more reliable choice when the reminder is important.
Will the alarm still sound after I close this tab?
No. An alarm set for 8:55 pm runs within the open webpage, so closing its tab or exiting the browser stops it. You can move to another tab or minimise the browser while you work; just keep the alarm page loaded.
If I close the tab, will the alarm still go off?
Closing the tab cancels the alarm because the timer for 8:55 pm is handled by that page, not by your device as a separate system alarm. Leaving the page open in the background is fine, even if another tab is on screen.
Does closing the browser tab stop the alarm from ringing?
The page must remain open for the 8:55 pm alarm to sound. Switching tabs, minimising the window, or using another application will not end it, but closing the alarm tab or quitting the browser will.
