once ERT readings have been captured by

the Sentry 900, the readings can be viewed by

scrolling through the stored values using the uP

and down buttons. The Sentry 900 can re-

ceive and store up to 10 messages simultane-

ously. once the 10 slots are filled, the Sentry

900 will overwrite the slots when new ERT

devices are detected. Values displayed

include the record number (0-9), ERT
