Mode Button
This toggle button is located on the left side of the screen and is labeled
“MOD”. The button has two selections “STK (strike) and “CEL” (cell).
The lower half of the button shows the current mode selection in green
text. Refer to Table 2-11 for Lightning Symbology.
• Set the mode for Strike to display strike data on the screen. Strike
data is most useful during periods of light electrical activity as this
will show the strengthening thunderstorm sooner then cell data.
• Set the mode for Cell to display cell data on the screen. Cell data
is used during heavy electrical activity.
Note - Other atmospheric phenomena can cause isolated discharge
points in the Strike Mode screen. Clusters of two or more discharge
points do indicate thunderstorm activity when they reappear after
clearing the screen.
In the Cell Mode screen even a single discharge point may represent
thunderstorm activity and should be avoided.

Clear Button
This button is located on the far right side of the screen and is labeled
“CLR”. Tap the button to clear the screen of the current lightning data
(strike or cell).
Clearing the lightning data periodically helps in determining if a storm
is strengthening or dissipating. A strengthening storm is indicated by
the lightning data reappearing faster and in larger numbers, while a
dissipating storm appears slower and with fewer number of strikes.
