2. Confirm the unit with the SET key and enter the RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE UNIT
SETTING

RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE UNIT SETTING

The relative air pressure can be set as inHg or hPa. The default unit is inHg.
1. Use the + or MIN/MAX key to toggle between the unit "inHg" or "hPa"
2. Confirm the unit with the SET key and enter the RELATIVE PRESSURE REFERENCE
VALUE SETTING.

RELATIVE PRESSURE REFERENCE VALUE SETTING

Note:
The default reference pressure-value of the barometer is 29.91inHg when batteries are first
inserted. For an exact measurement, it is necessary to first adjust the barometer to your
local relative air pressure (related to elevation above sea level). Ask for the current
atmospheric pressure of your home area (Local weather service, www, optician, calibrated
instruments in public buildings, airport).
The relative air pressure can be manually set to another value within the range of 27.14 to 31.90
inHg (919 to 1080 hPa) for a better reference.

The rainfall unit can be set as inch or mm. The default unit is inch.
1. Use the + or MIN/MAX key to toggle between the unit "inch" or "mm"
1. The current relative pressure value will start flashing
2. Use the + or MIN/MAX key to increase or decrease the value. Continually holding the key
will allow the value to increase faster.
3. Confirm with the SET key and enter the WEATHER TENDENCY SENSITIVITY VALUE
SETTING.
Note:
This feature is useful for those who live at elevations above sea level, but want their air pressure
display to be based on sea level elevation.

WEATHER TENDENCY SENSITIVITY LEVEL SETTING

You may select a definite switching sensitivity value, .06, .09, or .12 inHg for the change in the
display of weather icons. This represents the "sensitivity" of the weather forecast (the smaller the
value selected, the more sensitive the weather forecast). The default value is 0.09 inHg. Select
lower numbers for high humidity areas, i.e. Oceanside. Select high numbers for arid areas, i.e.
desert.
1. The sensitivity value will start flashing
2. Use the + or MIN/MAX key to select the value.
3. Confirm with the SET key and enter the STORM WARNING SENSITIVITY SETTING.
