Meade Instruments now brings that same passion for innovation and high performance to its own line of precision, feature rich weather stations. Please read this instruction manual so that you can get the most enjoyment out of your Meade Instruments weather station.
INSTALLATION Communications between the main unit (receiver) and the remote sensor (transmitter) is wireless. This allows you to greater flexibility in choosing the location of remote sensor. The remote transmits data up to 164 feet (50 meters) over an open, unobstructed area. The remote sensor can be located either indoors or outdoors, allowing you chose where your data is obtained.

PRESSURE OPERATION The pressure window displays: current barometric pressure, sea level pressure, and weather forecast. The information contains a number of historical statistics: pressure/ temperature/ humidity history bar-chart for the past 24 hours. Pressure can be measured in inHg, hPa/mBar or mmHg, and altitude is determined in either meters or feet.
