2. The weather forecast symbols may not reflect the current weather

condition.  The symbols are forecasting the future.

3. A ' Sunny ' forecast covering the night-time reflects fine clear weather.

HOW  TO  READ  THE  PRESSURE  TREND  CHART

Stored  memory  of    the  barometric  pressure  changes  are  displayed  on  the
chart,  in  5  steps  indicating  the  pressure  1,3,6,12  and  24  hours  ago.    This
chart  is  plotted  by  comparing  the  past  barometric  pressure  to  the  present
pressure.  The scale on the shows the comparison result.

This gives you the pressure trend over the last 24 hours.  The weather will
be  getting  better  (  worse  )  if  this  chart  shows  the  bar  marks  moving  up  (
down ) towards the present time.

Important:

It is only possible to measure the barometric pressure trend  properly if
your barometer remains at the same altitude.

When moving around at different altitude within a short time period, the
air pressure changes, the barometric pressure changes is not correct, until
the barometer  has remained at a constant altitude for 24 hours.

However, please note again the accuracy of  a weather forecast based on
the barometric pressure reading.  It is considered to be about 70-75%.

HOW  TO  SET  THE  ALTITUDE

1. Press  and  hold  the  [  SET  ]  button  for  2  seconds  to  set  the  altitude.

The  'ALT  '  indicator  will  turn  on  with  the  altitude  setting  flashing
(display in meter).

Increase/decrease the altitude in steps of 10 meter by pressing [      ] or
[      ] button.

2. Press  the  [  SET  ]  button  again  to  set  the  altitude.  At  this  time  the

previous pressure display will reappear.  If the altitude has been changed,
the ' ALT ' indicator flashing (about 15 minutes ) until a new sampling
takes place and the pressure reading is then compensated with the new
altitude.

3. Press the [ SET ] button 6 times to confirm the setting you just entered

or wait for  one minute for automatic exit.

Note:

For monitoring the local barometric pressure reading, the user needs
to select the 0 meter ( preset value ) for the altitude setting.

For monitoring the Sea Level barometric pressure reading at certain
altitude,  the  user  needs  to  select  the  local  alitiude  (  -100  to  2500
meters ) for the altitude setting.
