4.5 Storm warning indicator
The storm threshold can be set to suit the user’s requirement for storm forecasting from 5-9hPa (default
6hPa). When there is a fall over pressure threshold within 3 hours, the storm forecasting will be activated, the
clouds with rain icon and tendency arrows will flash for 3 hours indicating the storm warning feature has been
activated.
Notes to pressure sensitivity setting for weather forecasting:
The pressure threshold can be set to suit the user’s requirement for weather forecasting from 2-4hPa (default
3hPa). For areas that experience frequent changes in air pressure requires a higher setting compared to an
area where the air pressure is stagnant. For example if 4hPa is selected, then there must be a fall or rise in air
pressure of at least 4hPa before the weather station will register this as a change in weather.
5. Program Mode
The base station has five keys for easy operation: SET key, ALARM key, MIN/MAX key + key and
SNOOZE/LIGHT key. And there are four program modes available: Quick Display Mode, Setting Mode,
Alarm Mode and Min/Max Mode.
The program mode can be exited at any time by either pressing the SNOOZE/LIGHT key, or waiting for the
10-second time-out to take effect.
5.1 Quick Display Mode
While in Normal Mode, press the SET key to enter the Quick Display Mode as follow:
1) Outdoor Temperature / Dew point (press the MIN/MAX key or + key shifts the display between
outdoor temperature and dew point)
2) Absolute pressure / Relative pressure (press the MIN/MAX key or + key shifts the display between
the absolute pressure and relative pressure)
Press the SET key to accept the change and advance to the next display mode. Continue to press the SET
key to toggle through the display mode until return to the normal Mode
5.2 Setting Modes
Press the SET key for 3 second while in normal mode to enter the normal Setting mode
Press the SET key to select the following setting in sequence :
1)
T ON/OFF (DST=Daylight Saving)
During the daylight saving DST should be on.
S
D
2) Time Zone Setting
3) 12/24 hour format
4) Manual time setting (hours/minutes)
5) Calendar setting (year /month /date)
6) Temperature display unit degree Celsius or Fahrenheit
7) Indoor humidity calibration
8) Outdoor humidity calibration
9) Air pressure display units in hPa or inHg
10) Relative pressure setting from 700hPa – 1100hPa (default 1013.5hPa)
11) Pressure threshold setting (default 2hPa)
12) Storm threshold setting (default 4hPa)
13) City select
In the setting modes, press + key or MIN/MAX key change or scroll the value. Hold the +key or
MIN/MAX key for 3 second will increase/decrease digits quickly.
Press SNOOZE/LIGHT key or key idle 10 second, the setting mode will return to Normal Mode
Note: Please set the units firstly before changing the unit’s value. During change of units setting, units’
value will change according to new units but it might cause resolution loss due to its internal calculation
algorithm.
