Using Different Weather Modes
Pressure and Weather Forecast Mode
It indicates the current barometric pressure, the sea level pressure, the weather forecast and the
moon phase.
A number of historical statistics can also be viewed, including the sea-level pressure for the past
24 hours, moon phase for the past and following 39 days, as well as a pressure/ temperature/
humidity history bar-chart.
Pressure can be displayed inHg, hPa/mBar or mmHg, and altitude can be displayed in meters
or feet.
Accessing Pressure and Weather Forecast Mode
Press main unit
UP
or
DOWN
until the weather forecast icon
to flash, upper display
left corner.
From the remote control: Press

Setting Initial Pressure Parameters
Overview
Local Pressure, Sea Level Pressure and Altitude are interdependent. The weather station is
designed to measure local pressure and calculate the other two parameters. If you enter altitude,
it will calculate sea level pressure, if you enter sea level pressure, and will calculate altitude.
During initial power up (within the first two minutes) the weather station will not operate until
the Pressure & Altitude parameters are entered. The icon in the upper left hand corner begins
flashing. If no values are entered at this time, after two minutes the unit will switch to the
default settings of: inHG (Inches of Mercury), and 33 FEET. These parameters can be changed
as desired at a later date, using the steps outlined in the section for Setting or Changing Pressure
and Altitude settings.
1. Setting Pressure and Altitude during initial setup (first two minute only)
• Press
UP
or
DOWN
button selecting the units of pressure in: inHg (inches of mercury),
hPa/mBar
(hectoPascal)
mmHg
(millimeters of mercury)
• Press
SET
to confirm and store selection. The unit will advance to altitude unit selection.
• Press
UP
or
DOWN
button selecting the altitude unit in
FEET
or
METERS
.
• Press
SET
button to confirm and store. The unit will advance to the altitude programming
mode.
• Press
UP
or
DOWN
to adjust the local altitude. Press and hold either button for “Rapid”
settings. Press
SET
to confirm the programmed value.
• (Local information is obtainable via GPS device or online services like GOOGLE.)
• After about 30 seconds the unit will calculate & display the Sea Level pressure.
•
DO NOT PRESS ANY ADDITIONAL BUTTONS for about 5 minutes as the unit is
now searching for remote sensors and need time for measurements to settle down.
Viewing the Pressure and Altitude Information
Wait at least 5 minutes after initial set up to view a pressure or altitude information. Briefly
press
SET
button to alternate between the sea level pressure, local pressure and local altitude
altitude settings.
