We understand that no one likes having to read a manual, so we’ve tried to make this a fun and 
rewarding read. After all, Weather Direct® LITE is all about you. It’s like having your own

your exact location! Our forecasts go beyond backyard measurements by using Internet-enabled 
weather data provided by official National Weather Service instrumentation and local weather 
reporting stations widely distributed throughout North America.

We are doing our part to keep our planet healthy by eliminating our paper manuals, saving trees 
in the process. Not only are we reducing the amount of paper, but we are also trying to help you 
save space in your desk drawer, file cabinet or box in the basement where all these pesky 
manuals end up. Now you can print 

only

 the pages from this manual that you need… or not print 

any at all if you find what you are looking for online. 
 

Included in the Box
