Storm warning alarm setting
Unlike the other weather alarms, the storm warning alarm is set by
entering the main manual setting mode as follows:
10) Press the SET key to enter the manual setting mode
11) Continue to press the SET key until the Storm warning icon
flashes (tendency arrow flashing downwards with the pressure
values flashing)
12) Set the desired hPa pressure value (3 hPa - 9 hPa) using the
PLUS(+) or MINUS(-) keys
13) Press the MIN/MAX key to confirm and return to the normal dis-
play.
Storm warning alarm ON/OFF
After storm warning alarm setting, the next mode to appear after
pressing the SET key is the storm warning ON/OFF. Use the
PLUS(+) or MINUS(-) key to change the status to AON or AOFF.
Default setting is ON:
Should the air pressure drop equal or below the pre-set hPa value
within the last 6 hour period, then the downward tendency arrow will
flash as an indication of possible storm. The base station will take
hourly measurements as a point of reference. The storm-warning
indicator will stop flashing once the air pressure becomes more sta-
ble.
Master Alarm – BUZZER OFF
The time and all the weather alarms may have buzzer sound set to
OFF by holding the MINUS(-) key down for about 3 seconds in normal
display mode and the BUZZER OFF icon appears on the bottom left
of the LCD. When the BUZZER OFF is displayed, the time and all
other weather alarms when activated will only flash but not sound
regardless if that particular alarm has been set to the ON. To deacti-
vate the BUZZER OFF, press the MINUS(-) key once more.

General Alarm Icon
The general alarm icon on the bottom right corner of the LCD will
appear when any weather alarm is activated to show the user that a
set weather condition has been reached. The activated alarm can be
determined by checking the set alarm values against the MIN/MAX
values reached. To deactivate the general weather alarm icon, press
the ALARM key.
Important
When entering the alarm set mode for a specific weather or tempera-
ture condition, the corresponding alarm is automatically enabled (ON)
when the SET key is pressed, regardless of its previous setting and
the alarm value will flash to indicate that it has been activated. Press
the ALARM key to confirm the setting and continue pressing the
ALARM key to toggle through each alarm mode until it returns to the
normal display mode or press the MIN/MAX key at any time to exit the
alarm setting modes.
When a set weather alarm condition has been activated, that particu-
lar alarm will sound and flash for approximately 2 minutes but will
continue to flash until weather conditions have become more steady.
Weather Alarms
The weather alarms are settable for when certain weather conditions
are met according to the users requirements. For example, the user
can set the thresholds for the outdoor temperature to +40°C (high)
and -10°C (low), whilste only enabling the high alarm and disabling
the low alarm (i.e. temperatures <-10°C won't trigger alarm, but tem-
peratures >+40°C will).
