Alarm Mode
29
The time alarm is a standard “alarm clock” alarm. It sounds for one minute at the set
time. Make sure you choose AM or PM, if you’re in 12-hour mode.
UV Dose
The UV dose alarm sounds when the accumulated UV dose has exceeded the dose you
set. The UV dose alarm does not arm unless the initial UV dose for the day has been
reset. Once the UV dose alarm value is set, clear the accumulated UV dose. See “Clear-
ing Weather Variables” on page 26.
