Weather Forecast Icons

• The forecast icons are determined by the station's barometric pressure reading. Please allow 7-10 days for barometric calibration.
• Six forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather conditions for the next 12-hours with 70-75% accuracy.
• When Outdoor temperature is below 32˚F and the forecast is RAIN or T-STORM, the station will display SNOW.

Pressure History Graph

• Read from left to right, the Pressure History Graph indicates the rise and fall in air pressure over the past 24 hours.
• The numbers below represent the hour in which the reading was taken. Where "0h" is the current pressure level. "-3h" was the reading taken three hours ago, compared to current pressure.
• The bar chart will constantly scroll to avoid burnout of the LCD. This feature cannot be turned off.

Programmable Pressure Number

• The relative air pressure number is programmable: 23.62 to 32.48 InHg (800 to 1100 hPa).
• If not manually programed, please allow 7-10 days for the station to acclimate to your location. After this time, you should begin to see accurate pressure graph readings automatically displayed on your station's screen.

Program Pressure Number:

1. Hold the PRESSURE button to set pressure number.
2. PRESSURE will show and Pressure Value will flash.
3. Press the + or - button to adjust the flashing pressure value.
4. Hold the + or - buttons to adjust quickly.
5. Press the PRESSURE button to confirm adjustments and exit.
6. Press the SEARCH button at any time to exit.

Select Pressure Units (inHg or hPa)

Inches of Mercury (inHg) is common in the USA.

• Press the PRESSURE button to toggle the pressure reading between Inches of Mercury and Hectopascals
• The letters, INHG or HPA will show for 3 seconds. Other readings will remain.
• Station will stay on measurement selected.

HI | LO Temperature | Humidity Records

All HI/LO temperature/humidity records reset automatically at 12:00 (midnight).

• Press the TEMP button once to view HI indoor and outdoor temperature/humidity records.
  
• Press the TEMP button a second time to view LO indoor and outdoor temperature/humidity records.
  
• Press the TEMP button a third time to view outdoor Heat Index.
  
• Press the TEMP button a fourth time to view outdoor Dew Point.
  
• Press the TEMP button again to return to normal display.

Trend Arrows

• The UP and DOWN arrows indicate changes in temperature and humidity over the past hour.
• They update every 15 minutes and compare data from exactly one hour prior.

Temperature: arrow changes every 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
Humidity: arrow changes every 3% RH

• Be sure the sensor is mounted vertically, to allow moisture to drain out properly.
• Watch sensor mounting video: http://bit.ly/TH_SensorMounting

Position Weather Station

• Pull out the stand and place on a flat surface.
• Or use the three hanging holes on the back to mount on a wall.
• Choose a location 6 feet or more away from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, etc.
• Place within range of the outdoor sensors (330 ft, 100m open air).
• Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.

Low Battery Icon

• By indoor humidity; replace batteries in station.
• By outdoor temperature; replace batteries in the sensor.

Restart

A factory restart of the station returns it to default settings, and "out of the box" condition and may resolve connection issues.
