[. . . ] Confirm with the SET key and enter in the Time Zone setting. TIME ZONE SETTING: Digit flashing The time zone default of the Weather Station is "0". The range runs from 0 to -12 and then runs from +12 back to 0 in consecutive 1-hour intervals. Press the SET key again to confirm and to enter the date setting mode. Confirm all calendar settings with the SET key and enter the ºC/ºF Temperature setting. °C/°F TEMPERATURE SETTING: 52 Digit flashing The temperature display can be selected to show temperature data in °C or °F (Default °C). Use the OUT/+ key to toggle between "°C" or "°F". Confirm with the SET key and enter the hPa / inHg setting. PRESSURE UNIT SETTING (hPa/ inHg): The pressure display can be selected to show relative air pressure in hPa or inHg (default is "hPa"). Digit flashing 1. Use the OUT/+ key to toggle between "hPa" or "inHg" unit 53 2. Confirm with the SET key and enter the Relative air pressure value setting. Note: Units of weather icon sensitivity and air pressure history are not affected. They are always expressed in hPa. RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE VALUE SETTING The default relative pressure value is 1013 hPa (29. 92 inHg). This can be manually set to another value within the range of 960 ­ 1040 hPa (28. 35 ­ 30. 72 inHg) for a better reference. Digit flashing 1. 2. The current relative pressure value will start flashing Use the OUT/+ key to increase and IN key to decrease the value. Keep holding the key allows the value to advance faster. 54 3. Confirm with the SET key and enter the Weather forecast icon sensitivity setting. WEATHER FORECASTING ICON SENSITIVITY SETTING: Digit flashing 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. 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, level 4 is the slowest recording setting (default setting is "3"). Confirm with the SET key and exit the Manual settings. 55 TO EXIT THE MANUAL SETTING MODE To exit the manual setting mode anytime during the manual setting, press the CH key or wait for automatic timeout. The mode will return to normal time display. INDOOR RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND INDOOR TEMPERATURE: The indoor temperature and humidity data, the indoor comfort indicator are automatically updated and displayed on the second section of the LCD. MAX icon Indoor temperature in °C or ºF Indoor relative humidity in RH% 56 THE COMFORT LEVEL INDICATOR: Comfortable Uncomfortable : : A happy face icon "" indicating a temperature level between 20°C and 25. 9°C and relative humidity reading between 45% and 65%. A sad face icon " " indicating any value outside the comfortable range. TOGGLING AND RESETTING THE INDOOR READINGS: 1. Press the IN key to toggle between the indoor current, indoor MAX/MIN temperature and indoor humidity data. The time and dates of the recorded data will also be displayed in the time and calendar sections (for temperature data only). 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 to current time and date. 2. Note: The MIN or MAX data needs to be reset individually. 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: 57 FORECAST FORECAST FORECAST Cloudy with sunny Rainy intervals For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes. [. . . ] Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see "SETTING UP" above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. 62 The transmission range is around 100 meters from the Temperature transmitter to the Weather Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see "Setting up" above). MOUNTING POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION: The Weather Station may be hung onto wall easily or free standing. To wall mount Choose a sheltered place. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values can be received from the desired locations. [. . . ]
