Congratulations 

 
You have just purchased the world’s first Internet-Powered Weather Station. 
Weather Direct® uses the power of the Internet to deliver weather data and other 
important information tailored to you, because you are in control of the 
information it delivers. 
 
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® is all about you. It’s like 
having your own personal assistant to tell you the weather how, when and where 
you want it. Knowing how Weather Direct® works will allow you to get the most 
out of this innovative new system.  
 
Weather Direct® - Not Just Another Weather Station. Weather Direct® is the 
complete weather experience.  
 
 

Quality Forecasts 

 
Weather Direct® provides the most accurate forecast information available, 
customized to 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.  
 
The same quality weather information used by meteorologists to deliver the local 
forecast plus additional weather data unique to the Weather Direct® network is 
available to you 24 hours a day! We provide the most detailed, customized, up-
to-date weather forecasts available on any medium. Weather Direct® allows you 
to pinpoint your exact location to ensure that you receive precision weather 
forecasts customized for you!  
 
 

Weather Direct® is Green 

 
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.
