Wind symbol indicator (wind sock)

- The wind sock symbol in the forecast display field allows you to see at a glance if the
wind is currently light, moderate or strong:
Wind sock hanging down
Wind sock half raised
Wind sock horizontal

Immediate indicator for the onset of rain

- When the onset of rain is detected, this is reported to the base station the next time
data is wirelessly transmitted and is indicated by a rain cloud in the "RAIN" field and
Weather Joe's open umbrella.

Comfort indicator

- The comfort indicator (LKJ) reflects the interior climate (the temperature related to
the humidity). A table of values for the display ranges can be found in the Appendix.

Trend indicator (history)

- The bar graph shows the barometric pressure, outside temperature or inside tempe-
rature trend over the last 24 hours. The individual columns do not represent absolute
values; rather, they show the difference to the current measured value
(0 h column). This reference point is always of a medium height (4 bars) so that the
trend can be identified immediately.

Data memory

- If the data memory is almost full, the following message will appear in the menu line:
MEMORY ALMOST FULL

Transmitting data to the combination sensor, "WAIT FOR TRANSMISSION"

- If "WAIT FOR TRANSMISSION" appears in the menu line, the weather station is trans-
mitting data to the combination sensor, activating live mode or sending configuration
data relating to hours of sunshine, for example.
This procedure can take a few minutes, during which time the weather station
cannot be operated.

Temperature trend indicator

- An arrow indicating the trend will appear to the right of the temperature data in the
"Indoor" and "Outdoor" display fields if the temperature has increased (arrow pointing
up) or decreased (arrow pointing down) during the latest transmission interval.

Sensor status indicator

- In the outdoor sensor display field ("Outdoor"), a small reception indicator shows the
status of the sensor:
Reception indicator displayed constantly
Reception indicator flashing
No reception indicator displayed

Radio controlled clock reception

- Immediately after switch-on, the weather station attempts to receive the DCF-77 time
signal in order to set the clock automatically.
- If the weather station receives the time signal, the time and date are updated automati-
cally and a small reception indicator appears between the two items of data.
- The weather station attempts to synchronise with the DCF-77 transmitter every day at
04:00.
- If DCF-77-reception is not possible, the internal clock operates as a quartz clock.
- DCF-77-reception can be deactivated if necessary (refer to the "SYSTEM/DCF"
menu).

Warning of extreme weather

- A warning symbol appears in the weather forecast display field if the barometric pres-
sure falls sharply over a short period of time. This points to a potential gale or a storm
brewing, for example.

Frost warning

- A snowflake symbol appears in the weather forecast display field if the temperature
measured at the combination sensor falls below 4˚C.
