Can I disable the alarm?

Can I disable the alarm?
I am getting a message saying that my alarm has been activated pretty much whenever I unlock and start the car. Also, occasionally I get the alarm service needed message.
I really don't want to take it in to get it serviced right now. Also I don't really want to try and replace the siren unit myself. Is there a way to deactivate the alarm for a while until I get around to getting it fixed?
Thanks

There is a thread over @ matthewsvolvosite that shows how to change a battery for an 01 S80. The placement of the alarm could be in the same spot as ur 05. Battery leak on the alarm causes short circuit and affects the moonroof and some other elec'l components. Look for the thread "2001 S80 T6 Siren Module replacement/repair." Disabling it could be a diff story though, u may have to bring to dealer and have ur ECM reprogrammed for a few? $$$$$$$$$$$

I thought I would update this just in case anyone was searching for this problem. Sure enough the alarm siren unit is dead. The dealer will install a new one. It'll cost just under $400. Sigh.
I know I could do it myself an order the module on line and probably save $100 or so, but time is money and I'd probably screw up something else.
In the meantime I got to drive the S40 2.4T loaner. I found it pretty disappointing.
