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

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 27.17 to 31.90 inHg (919 to 1080 hPa) for a better
reference.

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.

WEATHER ALARM OPERATIONS
The Weather alarms can be set when certain weather conditions are
met according to your requirements. For example, you can set the
thresholds for the outdoor temperature to +104°F (high) and 14°F (low),
while only enabling the high alarm and disabling the low alarm (i.e.
temperatures <14°F won't trigger alarm, but temperatures >+104°F will).
