• History Graph- provides pressure trend for the past 24 hours

Pressure number:

• Your station will acclimate to the correct pressure without setting it yourself.
• You also have the option of setting the pressure number to match your local reporting station by using the settings menu.
• In the settings menu you can also select the pressure unit of Inches of Mercury (inHg default) or Hecto Pascal (hPa).

History Graph:

• Read from left to right, your Pressure History Graph indicates the rise and fall in air pressure over the past 24 hours.
• The numbers below represent the hour in which the reading was taken. The "0h" is the current pressure level. "-3h" was the reading taken three hours ago, compared to current pressure.
• The graph will scroll continually. This cannot be turned off.

Weather Forecast Icons

• The forecast icons are determined by your station's barometric pressure reading. Please allow 7-10 days for calibration.
• Six forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather conditions for the next 12-hours.
  
• When Outdoor temperature is below 32˚F and the forecast shows RAIN or T-STORM, the station will display SNOW.

Forecast Trend Arrows

Position Weather Station

• Pull out the stand and place on a flat surface.
• Or use the hanging holes on the back to mount on a wall.
• Choose a location 6 feet or more away from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, etc.
