It came with some cryptic instructions that I saved because I thought they were funny. This is one of the paragraphs under the heading "ALARM SETTING": "When the normal time and the armed alram (sic) time are identical, the alarm sounds out right after a 'beep' sound which will to (sic) remain activated for 30 seconds unless S1 is pressed." The alarm does work, my question is "How do I make it 'beep'?" It's a mystery, it's a mystery of thought and think about it. Mike Berry hplabs!hpfcla!mcb
