USING THE WIND WINDOW
The weather station uses the anemometer to
sample the wind speed and direction. You
can set the monitor to display the wind speed
in miles per hour (mph), kilometers per hour
(kph), meters per second (m/s), or knots. To
set the wind speed unit of measurement,
press
WIND , then repeatedly press UNIT
until the desired unit appears.
The monitor displays wind direction in
degrees (0° to 359° — 0° being due North,
180° being due South, and so on) and literal
compass direction (N for north, S for south,
and so on). The monitor displays the literal
compass wind direction at all times, regard-
less of which window is active.
The anemometer determines gust every 14
seconds and the average wind speed about
every 60 seconds. To toggle between the
gust view and the average wind speed view,
repeatedly press
WIND , so
*867 *867 *867 *867
or
$9(5$*( $9(5$*( $9(5$*( $9(5$*(
