The WBGT Heat Stress Meter features an audible
alarm. You can adjust the alarm values as required
within the range of 68.0°F-99.0°F (20.0°C-37.2°C).

the meter. To set
your alarm:

off
, press and hold the
SET
button for 2 seconds. The LCD displays a
temperature setting with the first digit flashing.
