2. Select Configure.

   The Countdowncfg Data Entry dialog appears.

   

3. In the Warning time 1 (in minutes) field, enter the number of minutes prior to the estimated time of target completion that the system should issue the first warning alarm.

4. In the Warning time 2 (in minutes) field, enter the number of minutes prior to the estimated time of target completion that the system should issue the second warning alarm.

5. In the Warning volume 1 field, enter the amount of volume below the target volume which, when reached, causes the system to issue the first warning alarm.

6. In the Warning volume 2 field, enter the amount of volume below the target volume which, when reached, causes the system to issue the second warning alarm.
