Note:

 

Weather Icons 

If the atomic clock has already successfully received the WWVB time signal and displays the 
correct time and date, then the Manual settings can be skipped

 

There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the LCD 2:   

After completion of the above described procedures in “

 the manual setting modes can 

be entered by pressing and holding the 

SET

 key for 3 seconds. The following settings can now be 

programmed: 

•

ºC or ºF setting 

 

 

The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in order, 
from “sunny” to “partly sunny” to “cloudy” or the reverse. It will not change from “sunny” directly to 
“rainy”, although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the 
weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.  

TIME ZONE SETTING 

After entering the manual setting mode as described above, the time zone can be set between the –1 
to –12 hour or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) range in LCD2. To do this: 

 

 

 

Weather Tendency Arrows 

 
 

 

 
 

Other possible displays in LCD 2 are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up (on the left side 
of the forecast) and one that points down (on the right side of the forecast).  These arrows reflect 
current changes in the air pressure.  An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is increasing 
and the weather is expected to improve or remain good.  An arrow pointing down indicates that the 
air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or remain poor. No arrow 
means the pressure is stable.
