Displaying The Forecast; Displaying Time & Date Or Sunrise & Sunset - DAVIS Vantage Pro2 Console Manual

Note: A solar radiation sensor is required to take readings listed above. See "Optional Sensors" on page 2.
Lamps
Press 2ND then press LAMPS to turn on the backlight for the screen
display. Press 2ND then LAMPS again to turn the backlight off.
Use the backlight when the LCD is not clearly visible. When the con-
sole is battery operated, the backlight remains on as long as keys are pressed
or a ticker tape message is scrolling across the screen. If no keys are pressed,
the backlight automatically turns off about fifteen seconds after it is turned on.
If any key is pressed while it is turned on, it will stay illuminated for 60 sec-
onds from the last key press. When battery power is low, the backlight does
not light.
Note: When the console receives power from the AC adapter, the backlight remains on until it is toggled
off. Leaving the backlight on raises the inside temperature reading and lowers the inside humidity
reading.

Displaying the Forecast

Your console generates a weather forecast based on the barometric reading &
trend, wind speed & direction, rainfall, temperature, humidity, latitude & lon-
gitude, and time of year. Included in the forecast is a prediction of the sky con-
dition (sunny, cloudy, etc.) and changes in precipitation, temperature, wind
direction or wind speed.
Press FORECAST to display the forecast. The forecast ticker mes-
sage at the bottom of the screen predicts the weather up to 48
hours in advance. The forecast is updated once an hour, on the
hour. Predictions are made for cloud cover, temperature trends, the likelihood
of precipitation, timing, severity and windy conditions.
Forecast Icons
The forecast icons show the predicted weather for the next 12 hours. If rain
and/or snow is possible but not necessarily likely, the partly cloudy icon along
with the rain or snow icon displays. When both the rain and snow icons dis-
play together, a chance of rain, freezing rain, sleet and/or snow is likely.
Displaying Time & Date or Sunrise & Sunset
Your console shows the sunrise and sunset time in the same place on the
screen used by the current time and date.
