When the device is off, it doesn't trigger alarms quite as precisely as it
does when it is on. I think it'll trigger only at minute boundaries. How
long have you waited before you decided that the alarm wasn't working?
Also, if you don't do any UI, I believe the screen doesn't turn on. I'd
have to go check that, but I think that's the way it works, for situations
that need to do something but don't need to use the screen and therefore
can conserve the batteries.
