UNDERSTANDING THE MONITOR AND ITS DISPLAY

The weather station's monitor is divided into various windows: barometric pressure and current
outdoor general condition, barometric bar chart, indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, rain-
fall, clock, and wind speed and wind direction. Each window displays related information for
that item.
The monitor lights for about 12 seconds and a tone sounds each time you press the screen.
The following chart describes each icon or control.
