FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS: A degree symbol will flash, followed by F
or C. Use the OUT/+ button to change to your preference. Press and
release the SET button once.
AIR PRESSURE UNITS: The barometric air pressure units will now
flash. Press and release the OUT/+ button to select inHg (inches of
Mercury) or hPa (hectopascal or milibars).Press and release the SET
button once to set pressure numbers.
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE: The Relative Barometric Air Pressure
number setting will flash 29.92 inHg or 1012.8 hPA (default
settings).Press and release the OUT/+ button to increase the setting or
the IN button to decrease the setting. Press and release the SET button
once to set forecast sensitivity.
FORECAST SENSITIVITY: Two air pressure tendency arrows will
appear and a flashing number (2, 3, or 4) will appear under the forecast
icon. Press and release the OUT/+ button to select the desired Forecast
Sensitivity setting. The lowest number is used near the coastline, the
highest number is for the desert, and middle number is for everywhere

else. Press and release the SET or SNOOZE/CH button once to return to
normal display.
TIME ALARM
SET TIME ALARM: Press and hold the ALM/DATE button for five
seconds. The alarm will begin to flash to the right of the moon phase.
x HOUR: Press and release the IN button to adjust the hour (am or pm).
x MINUTE: Press and release the OUT/+ button to adjust the minute.
Press SNOOZE/CH to return to normal display.
ACTIVATE ALARM: Press and release the ALM/DATE button to toggle
between the alarm and day/date. When the alarm time and alarm icon
are showing to the right of the moon phase the alarm is activated.
DEACTIVATE ALARM: To deactivate the alarm press and release the
ALM/DATE button and alarm icon will disappear. When the day and date
are showing, the alarm is deactivated.
15
ACTIVATE THE SNOOZE: While the alarm is sounding press and
release the SNOOZE/CH button. The snooze will be activated for 10
minutes. The alarm will come back on after 10 minutes.
DEACTIVATE THE SNOOZE: To deactivate the snooze function press
and release any button other than either of the SNOOZE/CH buttons.
MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE READINGS
This station will show the minimum and maximum temperatures from
setup, until you reset the min/max temperatures or remove the batteries
from the station. If you wish to view a 24-hour min/max reading, reset the
min/max temperatures at the same time each day.
VIEW INDOOR MIN/MAX RECORDS: Press and release the IN button
to display Indoor Max, Min and Current records.
RESET INDOOR MIN/MAX RECORDS: Press and release the IN button
to select the record you wish to reset, either MAX or MIN. Press and hold
the SET button for five seconds. The record is now reset to the Current
Date, Temperature and Humidity.
Note: Each Min or Max value will need to be reset separately.
16
VIEW OUTDOOR MIN/MAX RECORDS: Press and release the OUT/+
button to display the Outdoor Max, Min and Current records.
RESET OUTDOOR MIN/MAX RECORDS: Press and release the OUT/+
button to select the record you wish to reset, either MAX or MIN. Press
and hold the SET button for five seconds. The record is now reset to the
Current Date, Temperature and Humidity.
Note: Each Min or Max value will need to be reset separately
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE READINGS
NUMERIC AIR PRESSURE READING: The actual barometric air
pressure is displayed directly under the weather forecast icon. You can
set this to your local reporting station through the program menu.
AIR PRESSURE HISTORY BAR CHART: The bar graph shows the
recorded air pressure over the past 24-hours in hPa. The horizontal axis
shows the hours at increments of -24 hours, -18 hours, -12 hours, -9
hours, -6 hours, -3 hours and 0 hours.
17
The 0h on the horizontal axis indicates the current hour, thus the current
air pressure. Each bar on the bar graph represents a value of 0.03 hPa,
and each bar also has a corresponding value on the vertical axis. The
vertical axis is set in hPa: the '0' on the axis represents the current hPa,
and how high or low the past air pressure was as compared to the current
pressure.
DETERMINE AIR PRESSURE TRENDS: If the bars are rising (higher on
the right than the left) then the air pressure has a rising trend, and the
weather should improve. If the bars are dropping (lower on the right side
that the left) then the air pressure has a falling trend and the weather
should worsen.
Note: The bar chart will constantly scroll to avoid burnout of the LCD.
THIS FEATURE CANNOT BE TURNED OFF.
WEATHER FORECAST ICONS:
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The
weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over
time. In areas where the weather is not affected by the change of air
pressure, this feature will be less accurate.

Weather Icons
There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the LCD :
Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the
weather will be sunny).
Sun with Clouds—indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not
that the weather will be sunny with clouds).
Clouds with Rain—indicates that the weather is expected to get worse
(not that the weather will be rainy).
The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air
pressure. The icons change in order, from “sunny” to “partly sunny” to
“cloudy” or the reverse. If the symbols do not change then the weather
has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.
