PRESSURE OPERATION
The pressure window displays: current barometric pressure, sea level pressure, and weather
forecast. The information contains a number of historical statistics: pressure/ temperature/
humidity history bar-chart for the past 24 hours.
Pressure can be measured in inHg, hPa/mBar or mmHg, and altitude is determined in either
meters or feet.
IMPORTANT:
There are three viewing options available: barometric pressure
SEA LEVEL
or
LOCAL
and
ALTITUDE
. Local pressure is a measured value (can’t be adjusted) while
Sea Level & Altitude
are variables that you can enter. It is advisable to select and program
only one of the variables and to allow the unit to calculate the third value.
The unit is designed to measure pressure changes at your
specific location
, when
LOCAL
barometric pressure is selected. Information for programming your unit, with either
Altitude
or
Sea Level
values, may be obtained from GPS readings, online from the Internet, etc.
SEA LEVEL
barometric pressure provides you with information about pressure changes at
lower elevations in your
surrounding area
. The
SEA LEVEL
pressure value can be set to
match your local metro area weather information. (Sources – local TV or radio station, etc.)
SETTING INITIAL PRESSURE PARAMETERS
IMPORTANT:
Allow the unit to set
without touching ANY buttons
for about 6-8 minutes
during the main unit initial set up. This will give the unit time to synchronize with remotes,
stabilize pressure readings and settle with default settings.
SELECT PRESSURE UNITS OF MEASURE
Press
UP (? )
or
DOWN (? )
, as needed, until the pressure icon
“PRESSURE”
, to the left of
the barometric pressure value, begins to flash.
• Press
MODE
button, to toggle through selections until
“SEA LEVEL”
or
“LOCAL”
barometric pressure is displayed.
• Press and hold
HISTORY
button to enter the pressure unit selection mode. Press the
UP (? )
or
DOWN (? )
button to select the preferred units of measure for pressure:
inHG (English), hPa/mBar (scientific) or mmHg (metric)
• Press
HISTORY
to confirm your selection. Then press
MODE
to move to the
ALTITUDE unit
selection mode. Press the
UP (? )
or
DOWN (? )
button to select pressure
unit as
FEET
or
METER.
• Press
HISTORY
to confirm and hold
MODE
to move to the
ALTITUDE value
selection mode.
• Press
UP (? )
or
DOWN (? )
to select or adjust the altitude value to your location. (Press and
hold either button for accelerated digit advance)
• Press
MODE
to confirm the programming selection.
(NOTE: The unit will automatically exit programming mode if it does not detect a button
press after 2 minutes.)
VIEWING PRESSURE AND ALTITUDE INFORMATION
To view pressure or altitude information, press
MODE
button. The display will alternate
between the sea level pressure, local pressure and local altitude screens.
PROGRAMMING SEA LEVEL PRESSURE (not required if you did altitude)
• Press and hold
MODE
, until the barometric pressure digits are flashing.
• Enter the desired sea level pressure value by pressing
UP (? )
or
DOWN (? )
buttons. (Press
and hold either button for accelerated digit advance.)
• Press
MODE
, to confirm sea level value selection.
