1. THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendency indicators located on the left and right hand side of the weather icons When the indicator points upwards it means that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve but when indicator points downwards the air pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse Taking this into account you will see how the weather has changed and how it is expected to change For example if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud and sun icons then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny sun icon only Therefore the next change in the weather will be the cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards 30 Note Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in the air pressure it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD INDOOR TEMPERATURE AND MIN MAX RECORDS The indoor temperature and indoor MIN MAX records are displayed on the last section of the LCD _ Indoor a Temperature jm ue N pe MIN record Indoor icon Loon o o O MAX record Note The MIN MAX indoor temperature range is 9 C to 38 C with 1 C resolution OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND MIN MAX RECORDS The outdoor temperature and outdoor MIN MAX records are displayed on the last section of the LCD Outdoor icon omor w Outdoor recept2. reset by following the setting up procedures This is because a security code is assigned by the transmitter at start up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it BATTERY CHANGE It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units Battery life See Specifications below 23 Return used batteries to an authorised depot pd Please participate in the preservation of the environment m FUNCTION KEYS Weather station The weather station has four easy to use function keys key 0 0 SET key MIN MAX T RESET key ALARM key SET key Press the key to enter manual setting modes Time zone Time reception ON OFF and Manual time Stop the alarm key To make adjustment for various settings Stop the alarm ALARM key Enter the alarm setting mode Switch the alarm ON OFF Stop the alarm MIN MAX RESET key Press and hold to reset the MIN MAX temperature records Activate the snooze 24 Exit manual setting modes LCD SCREEN AND SETTINGS Radio controlled time 1 jj reception icon R Ra u me Alarm icon od I FORECAST Weather tendency Weather forecast icon indicator Low battery indicator Low battery indicator transmitter weather station aa ouroooR aa Outdoor Reception Indoor ee w
