Pressure sensitivity setting
The pressure threshold for weather forecasting can be set from 2 ~ 4hPa (default 2hPa). Areas that experience
frequent changes in air pressure require a higher hPa setting compared to areas where the air pressure is more
stable. For example when 4hPa is selected there must be a fall or rise in air pressure of at least 4hPa to change
the weather forecast icon.
Storm threshold sensitivity setting
When a dramatic change in pressure is measured the weather icons (rain and clouds) will begin to flash
indicating a storm. Similar to the general pressure sensitivity setting it is possible to adjust the storm threshold
sensitivity form 3 ~ 9hPa (default 4hPa). When there is a pressure drop higher that the threshold over a period
of 3 hours, the storm forecasting will be activated. The clouds, rain icon and tendency arrows will flash for 3
hours indicating the storm warning feature has been activated.

PC connection
The receiver can hold up to 4,080 weather data entries (with date and time) in its internal memory. This
memory is non-volatile (EEPROM) and will be preserved in case of a power failure (e.g. battery
replacement). When memory is full, the oldest data sets are overwritten.
It is possible to read, copy, store and print this memory data by connecting the receiver to a PC (not incl.)
running the appropriate software.
Notes:
When memory is full (all records, i.e. 4080 entries), the oldest data sets are automatically overwritten. We
recommend taking backups via PC on a regular basis to retain all recorded data.
