Should the air pressure drop equal or below the pre-set inHg value within the 
last 6 hour period, then the downward tendency arrow will flash as an indica-
tion 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

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

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 temperature con-
dition, 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.
