alarm level, pressing and releasing the RESET SILENCE button clears all
alarm indications for that alarm. If an alarm condition occurs, you may still

SILENCE button to clear the alarm indications.

condition occurs, and you enter Display Mode, the buzzer will not be
silenced and the LEDs will continue to flash. Upon return to Measuring
Mode, if there is still an alarm condition and the alarms are set up as latching,
you must wait until it clears before you can press the RESET SILENCE
