Setting Alarms | Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 instruction

Alarm Mode

Time

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 “Clearing Weather Variables” on page 29.
