To set barometric pressure offset, for sea level, you must first
obtain a reliable barometric pressure for your location. The
barometric pressure range is 28.25 to 30.75. This can be found
by contacting the nearest airport or weather service facility.
Nominal barometric pressure is 29.6 inches of mercury.
Call up the main screen (Figure 4) on the display terminal by

While watching the main screen, slowly turn the offset
adjustment screw. Clockwise will decrease the pressure
reading. You may have to turn the adjustment 3 to 10
revolutions before the display starts to change. Turn the pot
slowly in single turn increments, then wait for the screen to
update, every five seconds. If the value is moving away from
the correct value obtained above, turn the screw in the
opposite direction. Continue turning the screw
until the displayed value agrees with the value
obtained from the airport or weather service.

To simulate a change in temperature and humidity, lean close
to the sensor (or to the solar shield) and breathe onto the
sensor until you see a corresponding increase in the displayed
temperature and humidity values.
