[Jamie Gurganus]

Yes, I think that is correct. You can change the low, but not the urgent low.

I thought that people were saying they were changing the urgent low setting so that they are actually using the urgent low soon alarm?  Maybe that's the part I'm misunderstanding.  Thanks for everyone's responses and help.
