NOTE ON
°
C AND
°
F
The outdoor temperature display on the main unit is dominated by
the selection on the
°
C/
°
F
slide switch of the main unit. Whatever the
display unit of the remote sensor is, it will only apply to the remote
sensor itself and the temperature will be automatically converted to
the chosen one of the main unit.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES
The maximum and minimum recorded temperatures will be auto-
matically stored in memory. To display them, press
MEMORY
to
toggle among the maximum, minimum and current temperatures.
The respective MAX or MIN indicator will be displayed.
To clear the memory, hold down
MEMORY
for three seconds. The
maximum and minimum temperatures will be erased. If you press
MEMORY now, the maximum and minimum temperatures and
humidities will have the same values as the current one until
different readings are recorded.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY TREND
The temperature and humidity trend indicator shows the trend of
temperature changes for the last minutes. Three trends, rising,
steady and falling, will be shown.
WEATHER FORECAST
BAR938HG is capable of detecting atmospheric pressure changes,
and basing on the data collected, can predict the weather for the
forthcoming 12 to 24 hours. The effective range covers an area of 30
to 50 km.

NOTE:
1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather forecast is
about 70 to 75%, and therefore, cannot be held responsible
for any inconveniences so caused by an inaccurate one.
2. The weather forecast is meant for the next 12 to 24 hours. It may
not necessarily reflect the current situation.
3. The “Sunny” icon, when applies to night time, implies clear
weather.
COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS
The comfort level indicators COM, WET or DRY will tell you if the
curent environment is comfortable, too wet or too dry.
The comfort indicators will appear on the display of the main unit
when the following conditions are satisfied:
HOW TO CHECK
THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
The current and historical barometric pressure is shown on the
atmospheric pressure window.
For users staying at a higher altitude such as in the mountain area,
sea-level barometric pressure applies. In this case, press and hold
HISTORY
button to enter the altitude compensation setting mode.
Use the
UP
or
DOWN
button to select from –100 to 2500 meters
(whichever appropriate). Press
HISTORY
button to confirm and
exit. If the altitude changes, the “ALT” icon will flash to indicate
such change. It will stop flashing when the pressure reading is
recorded again.
The atmospheric pressure can be displayed in mb/hPa or inHg. The
pressure unit is selected on the atmospheric pressure slide switch
inside the battery compartment.
If you want to check the pressure history for a particular hour
during the past 24 hours, press the
HISTORY
button. Each press
on the button will go back by an hour.
The recorded atmospheric changes for the past 24 hours are
displayed in a bar chart above the atmospheric pressure window.
