Additional remote thermo-hygrometer sensor:
Additional remote thermo-hygrometer sensors can be
purchased separately (not supplied in the package).
Important: Select Ch-2 or 3 for additional remote thermo-
hygrometer sensor since Ch-1 has been assigned to the
anemometer.

Weather forecast & barometric pressure
The unit predicts weather condition of the next 12 – 24
hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure.
The coverage area is around 30 – 50 km. The weather
forecast is based on atmospheric pressure change and is
about 70-75% correct. As weather conditions cannot be
100% correctly forecasted, we cannot be responsible for
any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.
To obtain an accurate weather forecast & barometric
pressure reading, you need to input your current local
sea level pressure. After battery/adapter installation,
it will enter sea level pressure setting directly and the
pressure reading will fl ash. Press “
” or “
” to set
the value and press “PRESSURE” to confi rm and exit.
You can also hold “PRESSURE” button to enter sea level
pressure setting in normal display mode.
Press “
” or “
” to set the value and press
“PRESSURE” to confi rm and exit.
Press PRESSURE button to select pressure unit between
hPa, inHg & mb.
Note:
you may obtain your current local sea level
pressure information from the weather web site.
IN/OUT temperature & humidity
Temperature & humidity readings are shown on the upper
right of the display.
Press “C/F“ button to select temperature unit C/ F.
Press “CHANNEL/SEARCH” repeatedly to select indoor,
Ch1, Ch2, Ch3 or auto-channel scrolling display
modes.
Note:
The outdoor temperature & humidity sensor is built
inside the anemometer and is assigned to channel 1.
Additional remote thermo-hygrometer sensor(s) can be
purchased separately and they should be assigned to
Ch-2 or 3 only.
Ice Alert
Ice alert indicator appears on the display next to the
wind chill reading when outdoor channel-1 temperature
falls to or below 4C (or 39.2F). It provides an early alert for
possible icy road condition to driver.
IN/OUT heat index
Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. It
is the apparent temperature of how hot the heat-humidity
combination makes it feels.
Press “Heat Index/Dew Point” button once to show the
respective indoor or outdoor heat index on the display.
“HEAT INDEX” icon will appear.
IN/OUT dew point
Dew point is the saturation point of the air, or the
temperature to which the air has to be cooled in order to
get condensation.
Press HEAT INDEX / DEW POINT button twice to show
the respective indoor or outdoor dew point reading on the
display. “DEW POINT” icon will appear.
Daily, weekly, monthly & accumlated rainfall
The wireless rain gauge provides daily, weekly, monthly
and accumulated rainfall measurements.
Press “RAIN/CLEAR” repeatedly to switch between
the different modes and the corresponding “DAILY”,
“WEEKLY”, “MONTHLY” or “TOTAL” icon will appear

indicating your current display mode.
In daily, weekly or monthly rainfall display, hold “RAIN/
CLEAR” to clear all daily, weekly & monthly rainfall
reading to zero. In total rainfall display, hold “RAIN/
CLEAR” to clear total rainfall reading.
Press “RAIN UNIT” on the back casing to change the unit
between mm and inch.
Rainfall history
This unit has a large capacity memory that can store and
display:
• Daily rainfall (up to last six days as well as current day)
• Weekly rainfall (up to last six weeks as well as current
week)
• Monthly rainfall (up to last six months as well as current
month)
Press “RAIN” to select daily, weekly or monthly rainfall
display mode. Press “RAIN HISTORY” repeatedly to scroll
through the current & last 6 days/weeks/months data
corresponding to your selected rainfall mode. On the bar
chart display, the “0” represents the current period. –1,
–2, etc indicate the prior periods. The precise rainfall
reading of the selected period will be shown on the
display.
Example 1:
In April, press “RAIN HISTORY” repeatedly in the monthly
rainfall mode until “–3” bar chart is shown. The bar
chart and reading indicate the monthly rainfall record in
January (from 1st Jan to 31st Jan)
Example 2:
On Wednesday, press “RAIN HISTORY” repeatedly in
the weekly rainfall mode until “-1” bar chart is shown.
The bar chart and reading indicate the weekly rainfall
recorded last week (from last Sunday to last Saturday).
Example 3:
On Friday, press “RAIN HISTORY” repeatedly in the daily
rainfall mode until “–2” bar chart is shown. The bar chart
and reading indicate the daily rainfall record on this
Wednesday.
Wind speed & direction
The weather station uses the anemometer to sample
the wind speed and direction. You can set the monitor
to display the wind speed in miles per hour (mph),
kilometers per hour (km/h), meters per second (m/s),
knots and Beaufort. Press “WIND UNIT” on the back
casing until the desired unit appears.
The monitor displays 16 wind directions (N for north, S for
south, SW for south-west and so on).
Press “WIND” to select gust & average wind speed
display.
Wind direction:
Average wind direction over a 2-minute
period
Average wind speed:
Average wind speed over a
2-minute period
Gust wind speed:
Maximum wind speed over a 10-minute
period
(Reference table based on observations of the effects of
the wind)
Wind chill
Wind chill is the apparent temperature felt on exposed
skin due to the combination of air temperature and
wind speed. The wind chill reading on the monitor is
calculated based on the temperature measured from the
anemometer (channel-1) and the average wind speed.
To change wind chill temperature unit, press “C/F” button
on the back casing.
