Changing Remote Sensor Channels 

If your device has multiple optional extra sensors, you 
can  cycle  between  the  with  multiple  sensors.  While  in 
normal  mode,  press  SET/CH  key  repeatedly  move 
between  channels  –  the  data  will  be  displayed  in  the 
Outdoor segment of the console.

Barometric Pressure 

4.3.1  

Barometric Pressure History 

While  in  normal  mode,  press

  BARO./- 

  to  check  the 

barometric  pressure.  Press  the 

BARO./- 

button  to 

switch  to  past  12hr/24hr/48hr/72hr  average  pressure. 
To exit the barometric pressure history mode, press the 

SNOOZE/LIGHT

 key (on the top of the display console), 

or wait 30 seconds for the timeout to take effect. 

4.3.2  

Relative Pressure Calibration 

We recommend viewing your pressure data in Relative 
mode  and  calibrating  your  device  to  a  local  trusted 
source  such  an  airport  or  official  weather  station  if 
available, or internet source otherwise.
