Time Alarm   

After editing the Time Alarm it can be enabled or disabled by pressing 

ON/OFF

 while the hour or minute of 

the Time Alarm is flashing. An alarm symbol 

  appears in the Time display section indicating the alarm 

function has been enabled.   

Note:

 Press any key to mute the alarm. 

 

Note

:

    Alarms can also be set for most of the weather variables (see below for instructions on setting).   

When a set weather alarm condition has been triggered that particular alarm will sound for 120 seconds. 
The corresponding value, ‘HI AL” or “LO AL” and the alarm symbol will flash until the weather condition no 

longer meets the user’s set level.    When the alarm is sounding press any key to mute the alarm. 
 

Note:

    Because of the default settings already determined by the manufacturer it may not be necessary 

for the majority of users to perform any further basic settings - except for Relative Air Pressure (see below). 
Changes, however, can be easily made.

 or 

DOWN 

key to shift the display between A

verage wind speed and Gust (default Average wind 

speed). 
 

Note:

    Average  wind  speed  is  the  average  speed  over  the  48  second  period  between  signal 

transmissions.    In gusty conditions this may appear as though wind speed is being under reported as low 

winds and high winds are averaged across the 48 second interval.    Setting wind speed to Gust will display 
the  maximum  wind  speed  during  the  48  second  period  which  can  often  be  more  meaningful  in  these 
conditions.   

 

Press the 

ENTER

 key to select the following modes, then press the 

UP

 or 

DOWN
