RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE VALUE SETTING The temperature display can be selected to show temperature data in °C or °F (Default °F). Use the OUT/+ key to toggle between "°C" and "°F". This can be manually set to another value within the range of 28. 35 ­ 30. 72 inHg (960 ­ 1040 hPa) for a better reference. AIR PRESSURE UNIT SETTING (hPa / inHg): The pressure display can be selected to show relative air pressure in hPa or inHg (default is "inHg"). Flashing Flashing 1. 2. The current relative pressure value will start flashing Use the OUT/+ key to increment and IN key to decrement the value. Holding the key allows the value to advance faster. 27 28 3. Confirm with the SET key and enter the Weather forecast icon sensitivity setting. TO EXIT THE MANUAL SETTING MODE To exit the manual setting mode anytime during the manual setting, press the SNOOZE/CH key or wait for automatic timeout. The mode will return to normal time display. WEATHER FORECASTING ICON SENSITIVITY SETTING: For locations with rapid changes of weather conditions, the weather icons sensitivity can be set to a different level for faster display of weather conditions. ALARM SETTING: Alarm icon Alarm time Flashing The alarm time can be set when pressing the ALM/DATE key. The value corresponds to the change of air pressure in hPa before the weather icon will switch to another state. Level 2 is the most sensitive setting (coastline); level 4 is the slowest (desert) recording setting (default setting is "3"). Confirm with the SET key and exit the Manual settings. 4. 29 30 Note: If the calendar is displayed in the Weather station, the alarm is NOT active. The alarm icon (()) and the alarm time will be displayed, indicating that the alarm setting is activated. The maximum alarm ring duration is 2 minutes. MOON PHASES SYMBOL The Moon icon of the Weather station will also display all 12 Moon phases throughout the year according to the set calendar. SNOOZE SETTING AND STOPPING THE ALARM: The 10 minute snooze function can be set when the alarm is ringing by pressing the SNOOZE/CH key. When the alarm is snoozing, the alarm icon (()) will remain flashing indicating that the alarm is active but is in Snooze mode. To stop the snooze function when it is in snooze period, press any key except the SNOOZE/CH key. To stop the alarm, press any key (except for SNOOZE/CH).

MAX icon Indoor temperature in °C or ºF Indoor relative humidity in RH% TOGGLING AND RESETTING THE INDOOR READINGS: 1. To toggle between the current indoor and the MAX/MIN indoor temperature, and the humidity data and the times (for temperature data only) they were recorded, press the IN key: Once to show the MAX indoor temperature and humidity data with the recorded time and date. Twice to show the MIN indoor temperature and humidity data with the recorded time and date. Three times to return to the current displayed values Once the MIN or MAX data is displayed, press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds to reset the respective MIN or MAX record to current temperature and humidity data, and current time, date display. 2. THE COMFORT LEVEL INDICATOR: Comfortable : : A happy face icon "" indicates a temperature between 68ºF and 78. 6ºF (20°C and 25. 9°C) and relative humidity reading between 45% and 65%. A sad face icon "" indicates any value outside the comfortable range. Note: The MIN or MAX data needs to be reset individually. Uncomfortable 33 34 WEATHER FORECAST AND WEATHER TENDENCY: WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS: Weather icons in the third section of LCD can be displayed in any of the following combinations: FORECAST FORECAST FORECAST example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy. Note: After setup, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48-60 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. [. . . ] Furthermore, fix all parts in place where the units are adequately protected against moisture and rain. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Return them to their original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy. 45 46 SPECIFICATIONS: Indoor Temp : 14. 2ºF to 139. 8ºF with 0. 2ºF resolution -9. 9ºC to +59. 9ºC with 0. 1°C resolution ("OF.
