The SUNNY icon indicates clear weather, even when displayed during the night-time.The icons
displayed forecast the weather in
terms of getting better or worse, and not necessarily sunny or rainy
as each icon indicates.
Note:
After initial set-up, disregards icons for weather forecasts for the next 48-60 hours. This will allow
sufficient time for the weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and result in a
more accurate forecast.
Moon phase
The moon phase is based on the year, month and date, set manually or set by the WWVB signal.
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
(visible) 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 half is in shadow.
Waxing
means growing or expanding illumination, which occurs after a new moon.
Waning
means 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.
Moon phase history
The weather station indicates the current moon phase. You can view moon phase history and
forecast for up to 39 days in one-day increments.
The history will show in the History Window with a + or
– number indicating the days of change.
The moon icon itself will also change to match the history reading.
1. Select the Pressure and Weather Forecast display.
2. Press and release the MEMORY button, and
+ 0
days will flash.
3. Press the UP or DOWN
arrow buttons selecting from today’s date a future (+) or past (-) days and the
corresponding moon phase will be displayed. Hold either arrow button for a quick advance.
4. Press the MEMORY button to exit
Backlight
The weather station includes a light sensor that detects low light conditions and will turn the backlight
on automatically (A/C power cord use required).
When operating with the optional A/C power cord, the weather station backlight can be turned
ON, OFF or automatic (depending on light conditions).
AUTO: The backlight will be off in when there is adequate light, and will come on automatically in
low light conditions.
ON: The backlight will be on constantly when using A/C power.
OFF: The backlight will remain off unless the LIGHT button is pressed.
Note:
For continuous backlight control, the A/C adaptor (included) must be plugged in.
Adjust backlight sensor sensitivity to high or low using the switch, located on the back of the weather
station.
When operating on battery power alone, press the LIGHT button to activate the backlight for three
seconds.
Comfort statement
The weather station will calculate the indoor comfort level based on indoor temperature and humidity.
COMFORT:
Indicates the indoor temperature and humidity are in a comfortable range.
