Page 11: Weather Forecast
WEATHER FORECAST The device contains sensitive pressure sensor builtin with sophisticated and proven software that predicts weather for the next 12 ~ 24 hours within a 30 to 50km (1931 miles) radius. Sunny / Clear Slightly cloudy Cloudy Rainy Rainy / Stormy Snowy Note: 1. The accuracy of a general pressurebased weather forecast is about 70% to 75%. 2. The weather forecast is meant for the next 12 hours, it may not necessarily reflect the current situation. 3. The “Snowy” weather forecast is not based on the atmospheric pressure, but based on the outdoor temperature. When BAROMETRIC / ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE the outdoor temperature is below 3°C (26°F), the “Snowy” weather indicator will be displayed on the LCD. Atmospheric Pressure is the pressure at any location of the Earth caused by the weight of the column of air above it. One atmospheric pressure refers to the average pressure and gradually decreases as altitude increases. Meteorologists use barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. Since variation in atmospheric pressure greatly affected by weather, it is possible to forecast the weather by measuring the changes in pressure. To select the display mode: Press and hold [BARO] button for 2 seconds to toggle between: • ABSOLUTE the absolute atmospheric pressure of your location • RELATIVE the relative atmospheric pressure based on the sea level To set relative atmospheric pressure value: 1. Get the atmospheric pressure data of the sea level (it is also the relative atmospheric pressure data of your home area) through the local weather service, internet and other channels. 2. Press and hold [BARO] button f or 2 secondsu ntil “ ABSOLUTE” or “RELATIVE” icon flashes. 3. Press [U P]/[DOW N] button s w t o itch to “ RELATIVE” mode. 4. Press [B ARO] button once again until h te “RELATIVE” atmospher ic pressure digit flashes. -

Page 16: Wireless Signal Reception
WIRELESS SIGNAL RECEPTION No sensor Signal searching Strong signal Weak signal Signal lost The 5in1 sensor is capable of transmitting data wirelessly over an approximate operating of 150m range (line of sight). Occasionally, due to intermittent physical obstructions or other environmental in te rference, the signal may be weaken or lost. In the case that the sensor signal is lost completely, you will need to relocate the Display main unit or the TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY wireless 5in1 sensor. Comfort Indication The comfort indication is a pictorial indication based on indoor air temperature and humidity in an attempt to determine comfort level. Too cold Comfortable Too hot Note: DATA CLEARING 1. Comfort indication can vary under the same temperature, depending on the humidity. 2. There is no comfort Indication when temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or over 60°C (140°F). During installation of the wireless 5in1 sensor, the sensors were likely to be triggered, resulting in erroneous rainfall and wind measurements. After the installation, user may clear out all the erroneous data from the Display Main Unit, without needing to reset the clock and reestablish pairing. POINTING 5IN1 SENSOR TO THE SOUTH Simply press and hold the [HISTORY] button for 10 seconds. This will clear out any data recorded before. The outdoor 5in1 sensor is calibrated to be pointing to North by default. However, in some cases, users may wish to install the product with the arrow pointing towards the South, especially for people living in the Southern hemisphere (e.g. Australia, New Zealand). 1. First install the outdoor 5in1 sensor with its arrow pointing to the South. (Please refer to Installation session for mounting details) 2. On the Display main unit, press and hold [WIND] button for 8 seconds until the upper part (Northern Hemisphere) of the compass lights up and blinking. 3. Use [UP] / [DOWN] to change to lower part (Southern Hemisphere). Northern hemisphere Southern hemisphere 4. Press [WIND] button to confirm and exit. Note: Changing from hemisphere setting will automatically switch the direction of the moon phase on the display. -
Page 17: About The Moon Phase
ABOUT THE MOON PHASE In the Northern hemisphere, the moon waxes (the part of the moon we see that glows after the New M o o n ) from the right. Hence the sunlit area of the moon moves from right to left in the Northern Hemisphere, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it moves from left to right. Below are the 2 tables which illustrate how the moon will appear on the main unit. Northern hemisphere: Southern hemisphere: New Moon Full Moon Waxing Crescent Waning Gibbous First quarter Third quarter Waxing Gibbous Waning Crescent MAINTENANCE To clean the rain collector 1. Rotate the rain collector by 30° anticlockwise. 2. Gently remove the rain collector. 3. Clean and remove any debris or insects. 4. Install all the parts when they are fully clean and dried. “Unlock” Position “Lock” Position To clean the Thermo / Hygro sensor 1. Unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom of the radiation shield. 2. Gently pull out the shield. 3. Remove carefully any dirt or insects inside the sensor casing (Do not let the sensors inside get wet). 4. Clean the shield with water and remove any dirt or insects. 5.
