BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
The atmospheric pressure is displayed as a numerical value in either inches of mercury (inHg) or hectopascals (hPa). You
can choose to display either reading as an ABSOLUTE value or a RELATIVE value;
1
) ABSOLUTE air pressure is the true measured air pressure at the current time and location of your weather center.
2
) RELATIVE air pressure takes into account your elevation and calculates the value back to sea level. RELATIVE air
pressure allows easier comparisons and is the value given by most TV and radio stations.
To find the elevation at your location, access the following U.S. Department of the Interior website:
http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/
1)
Enter the Feature Name (city)
2)
Enter the State
3)
Use the SEND QUERY option
Note:
If you are going to choose the RELATIVE air pressure option, have your elevation information available when you
enter the following settings. It is not necessary to enter your elevation if you choose the ABSOLUTE air pressure option.
If you don’t enter an elevation, the default reading will be 0 ft. (sea level)
SETTINGS FOR BAROMETRIC PRESSURE AND WEATHER FORECAST ICONS
To enter your selections for;
1) inHg or hPa
2) absolute air pressure or relative air pressure
3) calibrating your weather icons
Note
: When you select inHg, your elevation will be shown in feet (FT). When you select hPa, your elevation will be
shown in meters (M).
Press and hold

Barometric Pressure History Graph
The bar graph on your base station LCD displays barometric pressure history for the prior 12 hours. The column at
the right (0) is the current time period. Moving to the left are the prior time periods, beginning with -1 hour, then -2
hours, -3 hours, -6 hours and -12 hours.
Barometric Pressure History Reading and Memory
Above the bar graph is the current numerical pressure reading in either inHg or hPa. (0 HR)
