INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the BAR898HGA
Long-Range Wireless Weather Station with In-Out Ther-
mo-Hygrometer and RF Clock. This unit is an all-in-one
weather forecasting device which has multiple weather-re-
lated functions. Also, with an internal antenna the reception
range of this unit can be up to 328 feet (100 meters).
The BAR898HGA, a weather forecasting device, has sev-
eral weather related functions. The main feature is that it
takes and records temperatures and humidities in more
than one location. Using a wireless remote thermo-hygro
sensor, it can simultaneously monitor temperatures and
humidities in three remote locations. The unit will show
temperature and humidity trends as well as record maxi-
mum and minimum temperature and humidity readings.
BAR898HGA is able to receive and display readings from
up to 3 remote sensors.
As part of the weather forecasting function, the unit has a
built-in barometer that displays atmospheric pressure. Us-
ing kinetic-movement graphic illustrations the unit displays
atmospheric pressure trends and displays forecasts as
sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy and snowy.
This unit also has a Radio Frequency (RF) controlled clock.
It can automatically synchronize its current time and date
when it is brought within range of the radio signal generated
from the U.S. Atomic Clock.
Other features of BAR898HGA include LCD and key-panel
