The fixed and vari-
able tone alarms op-
erate independently
of each other. The
meter can be set to
have both alarms
off, either one of the
alarms on, or both
alarms on. If both
alarms are turned
on, the variable tone
rate will vary with
the field strength un-
less the measured
field strength ex-
ceeds the fixed
alarm threshold.
The alarm will then
sound a continuous
tone.
