Abstract
An apparatus to set an output window includes an ambient condition detector from which non-alarm messages can be output at a pre-determined time. The detector includes a real-time clock which can be set wirelessly by a real-time synchronizing message. A message emitting window can also be wirelessly pre-set. The non-alarm messages are emitted at times in the pre-set window.
