We present time-resolved spectroscopy of the Be star HD 76534, which was observed to have an Halpha outburst in 1995, when the line went from photospheric absorption to emission at a level of more than two times the continuum within 2.5 hours. To investigate the short-term behaviour of the spectrum of HD 76534 we have obtained 30 spectra within two hours real-time and searched for variations in the spectrum. Within the levels of statistical significance, no variability was found. Rather than periodic on short time scales, the Halpha behaviour seems to be commonly episodic on longer (>1 year) time scales, as an assessment of the existing data on the Halpha line and the Hipparcos photometry suggests. HD 76534 underwent only 1 photometric outburst in the 3 year span that the star was monitored by the Hipparcos satellite.
