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 
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

been set to the ON. To deactivate 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 temperature 
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.
