I think about "You should press the button twice"

Yes you can say
Push the button twice to trigger an /the alarm.
or
Press the button twice to trigger an /the alarm.
Pressing the button twice will trigger/set off an/the alarm.
Pusing the button twice will trigger / set of the alarm.
Both push and press are quite natural, probably press is the more natural and everyday though.
