moment.
4. IMPORTANT: Do not press any buttons during the set up process which typically takes about
5-10 minutes.
The display functions will be automatically set including local altitude and pressure parameters. The
display will show the pressure and
"inHg" (inches of Mercury) flashing. You will know that the unit
is finished when the display shows the default settings for the pressure and altitude (sea level)
Indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity readings, remote sensors readings, etc.
Many settings can be changed or customized to your preference, after the display has stabilized
• The pressure parameters during Initial Setup (See Pressure and Weather Forecast Window).
• The time, the date and the weekday language (See Clock and Alarm Window).
• The location data will determine the time zone (See Appendix - City Codes).
IMPORTANT: If after the initial setup, the altitude or other parameters are not displayed, or dotted lines
are displayed, for example (—.- -) you may have to restart the main unit to reset the unit.

PRESSURE AND WEATHER FORECAST WINDOW
Your weather station is designed to accurately display (local) barometric pressure, sea level pressure,
weather forecast and moon phases. Historical statistics can also be viewed, including the sea-level
pressure for the past 24 hours, moon phase for the past and following 39 days, and a selectable
barchart for viewing pressure/ temperature & humidity history. Pressure is displayed inHG (English),
hPa/mBar (scientific) or mmHg (metric). Altitude is displayed in meters or feet.

NOTE: An altitude display of 99o, is actually 990 feet, etc. Pressure can be displayed as: "inHG" (default)
inches of mercury, "mmHG" is millimeters of Mercury and "hPa/mBar" is scientific hectoPascal.
SELECT PRESSURE AND WEATHER FORECAST WINDOW
Press main unit UP▲ or DOWN▼ until the weather forecast icon
corner.
NOTE: Wait at least 5 - 10 minutes after initial set up to view a pressure or altitude information.
PRESSURE AND ALTITUDE INFORMATION
Briefly press SET button to alternate between the sea level pressure, local pressure and local altitude
settings.
The unit should be set to the default settings of: inHG (Inches of Mercury), and 33 FEET. These
parameters can be changed as desired at a later date, using the steps outlined in the section for
Setting or Changing Pressure and Altitude settings.
CHANGING PRESSURE AND ALTITUDE PARAMETERS
The weather station is designed to measure local pressure and calculate the other two parameters
based on the Local Pressure. Sea Level Pressure and Altitude are interdependent. If you enter altitude, it
will calculate sea level pressure, if you enter sea level pressure, it will automatically calculate altitude.
During initial power up (within the first 5 – 10 minutes) the weather station will not operate.
These parameters can be modified after the display has stabilized.
Select the Pressure and Weather Forecast window. From the main unit: Press UP▲ or DOWN▼ until
