replace the cover.
3. When the battery is inserted,
all the segments of the LCD
and backlight will light up
briefly.
Your anemometer is now operational.

change. If this does not happen remove the battery, wait for 30
seconds, and re-insert the battery.

Note:
When the temperature is outside the range from –29°C to +59°C,
there will be no wind chill measurement.
Wind chill
The anemometer calculates automatically wind chill, which can
provide useful information for preparing outdoor activities in cold
weather. “Wind chill” provides an indication of how cold it feels given
the combined effects of the actual air temperature and the wind
speed.
