flash. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to change the sea level

closest to your location. The sea level units are in meters (1 meter equals

approximately 3.28 feet). Contact your local weather bureaus or authorities for

more information.

2. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm sea level.

3. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to change the current weather

situation of your location. See figure 3 below for the weather pattern that is

resembles your immediate area.

Fig. 3 Weather pattern

4. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm weather pattern.

Interpreting the weather forecast symbols

The weather station requires at least 24 hours on acclimatizing to local weather

conditions. The weather station process and analyze the weather patterns for the past 24

hours in order to determine the future weather. Until that time has elapsed, the predicted

weather forecast may not accurately reflect the actual weather for your immediate area.

The weather station will display the symbols (see fig. 3) to indicate the predicted weather

forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours for an area within a radius of approximately 30-50

km.

Note:

1. Accuracy rate might be lower in extreme weather conditions. The weather

forecast is only for reference only and it is only for domestic use only. Do NOT

rely on the weather station for weather forecast if any serious matter replies on it

including but not limited to: personal health, life and death situation, any business

or financial decisions, and/or agricultural planning.

2. The weather forecast does not display the current weather. It displays the

weather for the future.

Adjusting the weather station:

1. Press HISTORY button (5) for 3 seconds until a beep sound is heard.

2. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to toggle between atmospheric

pressure units of Pascal (hPa) to inch of mercury (inHg)

3. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm.

4. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to toggle between absolute and

relative atmospheric pressure.

5. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm.

6. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to change the sea level closest to

your location.

7. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm sea level.

8. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to change the current weather

situation of your location. See figure 3 above for the weather pattern that is

resembles your immediate area.

Barometer:

1. Recorded memory of the barometric pressure changes are displayed with 3

arrows to show pressure trend.

Note: It is only possible to measure the barometric pressure trend properly when

the unit remains at the same altitude. When moving around at different

altitudes within a short period of time, the air pressure and the barometric

pressure will change. The pressure trend will only be correct and regulate

the has remain at a constant altitude for 24 hours or more.

To recall recorded pressure history reading

The barometric pressure reading is recorded at an hourly interval and can be recalled

and displayed up to previous 12 hours.

Press HISTORY button (5) repeatedly to view pressure recorded in the past hours. -1

HR indicates the pressure of the previous hour. The pressure reading history will appear

for 20 seconds before the current pressure returns.
