TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
You can view the current indoor/outdoor temperature/heat index, humidity, dew-point
and the max/min memories on the base station.
Select the temperature unit on App:
To view current temperature, heat index and TODAY MAX/MIN readings on the device:
1. Press SELECT repeatedly to navigate
2. Press MODE repeatedly to toggle between the temperature/heat index displays.
3. Press MAX / MIN to toggle among current / MAX /MIN readings.
4. Press or to change channel (outdoor temperature only).
To view humidity, TODAY MAX/MIN and dew-point readings on the device:
1. Press SELECT repeatedly to navigate
2. Press MODE repeatedly to toggle between the humidity/dew-point displays.
3. Press MAX / MIN to toggle among current/MAX/MIN readings.
The heat index provides an indication on how hot it feels based on air

temperature and relative humidity.
NOTE The dew point advises at what temperature condensation will form.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY TREND
The trend lines are shown next to the temperature and humidity readings. The trend
is shown as follows:

2. Press MAX / MIN to toggle between current/MAX wind speed and current/MIN
wind chill readings.
NOTE
The wind chill factor is based on the combined effects of temperature and
wind speed.
RAINFALL/ BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
The station is capable of displaying the current or past 24 hours of rainfall, max rain
rate, barometric pressure.
RAINFALL
To view the recorded rainfall/rain rate of the current hour or past 24 hours:
1. Press SELECT repeatedly to navigate
2. Press MODE repeatedly to select
3. Press MAX / MIN repeatedly to toggle among current / today max rain rate, past
24 hours, or today accumulated rainfall readings.
Select the measurement unit for the rainfall/rain rate on the App:
• mm (millimeter); in (inch)
• mm/hr (millimeter per hour); In/hr (inch per hour)
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
To view the barometric pressure reading:
1. Press SELECT repeatedly to navigate
2. Press MODE repeatedly to select
To view pressure trend:
The barometric pressure trend icons are based on recent sensor readings.
The trend lines are shown next to the pressure readings. The trend is shown as
follows:
RISING
Select the measurement unit for the barometer on the App:
• Barometric pressure: mmHg (Millimeters of mercury)
• inHg (inches of mercury), mbar (millibars)
• hPa (hectopascal).
Set the altitude level compensation:
The altitude reflects the distance from sea level at your position. You can set the
altitude level compensation for the barometric pressure readings on the App.
NOTE When altitude is set to 0 meter, the pressure reading is the local pressure.
If the altitude is set to the current location, the new pressure reading is an offset
pressure to the sea level.
BACKLIGHT
Press any button on the base station to activate the backlight for 5 seconds.
