The storm alarm notifies you with a warning alarm when there is a rapid fall of barometric pressure during a 3-hour period - so you better take cover since a storm is approaching! The storm alarm sounds and the alarm symbol flashes on the display for 20 seconds. The storm alarm only works when the BAROMETER profile is selected.

You set the storm alarm in MENU. To enter MENU, press [Mode] for 2 seconds - the menu icon in the upper right corner will blink twice.

In MENU, press [Down Light] to reach and [Mode] to enter ALTI-BARO. In ALTI-BARO, press [Down Light] to reach and [Mode] to enter STORM. Press [Up] or [Down Light] to either turn on or off the storm alarm.
