The present invention eliminates this drawback, and includes a dedicated multi-stage frequency division stage for obtaining the speaker drive frequency, a ROM that stores information for controlling the frequency division ratio of the frequency division stage, and a ROM that stores information for controlling the frequency division ratio of the frequency division stage. It has a binary counter to drive the ROM,
With control information pre-programmed in ROM,
The purpose is to obtain a wide range of frequencies for speaker drive by changing the frequency division ratio of the frequency division stage for speaker drive frequency setting.

When the frequency division ratio A is selected, the coincidence detector 2 outputs the outputs Q1 to Qn of the variable frequency division stage 1 for setting the speaker drive frequency.
When the speaker drive frequency setting variable frequency division stage output matches the frequency division ratio A, the speaker drive frequency setting variable frequency division stage 1 is reset and as a result operates as an A-adic counter.

As described above, in the present invention, there is a frequency divider of several stages capable of variable frequency division for generating an alarm sound. Since it is possible to obtain an alarm speaker drive frequency that changes over time, it is possible to generate an audibly interesting alarm sound, and by refolding the contents of the ROM, it is possible to easily generate an alarm sound. It has the effect of being able to change the sound.
