Occasionally a low front will come through that drops the pressure several bars
in a short time. When this occurs, the graph appear to lose all bars for a given
time period. This is due to the graph having a limited number of bars per time.
The graph will correct itself within 1-2 days.

The pressure graph will scroll to prevent LCD burnout.
Moon phase
Explanation:
The Moon Phase is based on the date manually set on the weather
station. The moon is divided into 6 sections, showing 12 phases of the moon.
•
Waxing
indicates growing or expanding illumination and happens after a new
moon.
•
Waning
indicates decreasing illumination and occurs after a full moon.
•
Crescent
refers to the moon being less than half-illuminated. Crescents can be
waning or waxing.
•
Gibbous
describes a moon phase when more than half is illuminated. Gibbous
can be waxing or waning.
•
New Moon
occurs when the moon is between the earth and sun, so the
illuminated portion of the moon is on the backside facing the sun and we cannot
see it. After a new moon, the illuminated portion will increase or wax until the
full moon occurs.
•
Full Moon
occurs when the earth, moon and sun are in approximate alignment,
with the moon and the sun on opposite sides of the earth. The illuminated
portion of the moon faces the earth, giving us complete visibility of one side of
the entire moon. After a full moon, the illuminated portion will decrease or wane
until the new moon occurs.
•
First Quarter
and
Last Quarter
moons occur when the moon is at a 90-degree
angle to the earth and sun. We see half of the moon illuminated and the other
half is in shadow.
Weather station is dim
Explanation:
Most weather stations have a dark background. Place the weather
station at eye level, to determine if it is dim. Weather stations that sit in the sunlight
can develop a cloudy film over time.
•
This is generally a power related issue.
•
may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from weather
station.
•
Press any button 20 times. Leave the weather station unpowered for 1-2 hours.
•
Install fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.
Weather station has distorted or frozen display
Explanation:
On a brand new weather station, check for thin plastic film of
printed
