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.  

 

Batteries 

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 

scratch guard

 that may be on the screen of the weather station. This thin piece of
