Paul,

The do not disturb feature does not impact the alarm. ALl this feature does is 
prevent inbound calls, text messages, e-mails, etc. I gather it does not turn 
off the wifi or cellular radios, but instead I guess it temporarily blocks 
these connections unless certain conditions are met. I have not read any 
articles that go into extensive detail on how the feature works, but my 
comments are based on my own speculations. Now if anyone knows of an article 
that explains this in detail (that is a credible source) that would be great. I 
almost think of DND as more a firewall that blocks certain connections unless 
there is an exception. So, no issues with the alarm that I have heard of or 
experienced.
