5 Operating the console
The display console has seven modes. Normal, or display, mode shows you
various weather quantities and will be your “normal” use mode. Use the
MENU
key to enter the various setup modes. Press the
MENU
key
repeatedly to reach the various setup pages and, eventually, return back to
normal mode. You may hold down the
MENU
key at any time to force a
return to normal mode, or if you do not press any key for 30 seconds, the
console will also return to normal mode.
The following sections will discuss each of the modes and the items and
options available in each. When not in “normal” mode the console buttons
are used for various functions. The current function of each button is
depicted graphically with a symbol directly above the hardware button.
Typical functions are “NEXT” indicated with a right arrow, “PREVIOUS”
indicated with a left arrow, and “
+
” and “
-
”.

temperature.
Wind chill and heat index are perceptual values (that’s why they are
described as “Feels Like”) that indicate the air temperature as experienced
