To view the maximum wind speed and minimum wind chill readings:

1.Press SELECT to navigate to the Wind Speed / Wind Direction / Wind Chill Area. will show next to the Area.

2.Press MAX / MIN to toggle between current / MAX wind speed and current / MIN wind chill displays.

The timestamp of when maximum wind speed was recorded is displayed accordingly in the Clock Area.

To clear minimum wind chill reading / maximum wind speed reading:

1.Press SELECT to navigate to the Wind Speed / Wind Direction / Wind Chill Area. will show next to the Area.

2.Press MAX / MIN repeatedly until minimum wind chill reading or maximum wind speed reading is displayed.

3.Press and hold MAX / MIN to clear the readings.

NOTE The wind chill factor is based on the combined effects of temperature and wind speed. Displayed wind chill is calculated solely from Channel 1 sensor.

UVI / Barometer / Rainfall

The weather station works with one UV sensor and one rain gauge. The station is capable of storing and displaying the hourly history data for the last 10 hours of UV index, and 24 hours of rainfall and barometric pressure readings.

The bar chart display shows the current and historical data for the UV index, barometric pressure and rainfall readings.

NOTE The number shown in the horizontal axis (Hr) indicates how long ago each measurement was taken (e.g. 3 hours ago, 6 hours ago, etc.). The bar represents the measurement taken for that specific 1 hour period. E.g., if it is 10:30 pm now, the bar plotted directly above -1 shows the reading recorded from 9 to 10 pm and -6 shows the reading recorded earlier in the evening, between 4pm-5pm.

To view the UV / Barometer / Rainfall readings:

1.Press SELECT to navigate to the UV / Barometer / Rainfall Area. will show next to the Area.

2.Press MODE to toggle between UVI / Barometer / Rainfall readings. The corresponding icon will appear:

To select the measurement unit for the barometer or rainfall readings:

In the UV / Barometer / Rainfall Area, press UNIT to switch between:

•Barometer: Millimeters of mercury (mmHg), inches of mercury (inHg), millibars per hectopascal (mb).

•Rainfall: Millimeters (mm), inches (in), recorded for that hour.

NOTE As the purpose of the bar graph is only to provide a quick comparison between the records of the past 24 hours, the vertical axis cannot convert from inches to

mm.Therefore, changing the measurement unit will have no effect on the bar graph display.

2.Press MODE repeatedly to select UV display.

3.Press MAX / MIN to toggle between current / MAX UV index display.

The timestamp of when maximum UV was recorded is displayed accordingly in the Clock Area.

To clear maximum UV reading:

1.Press SELECT to navigate to the UVI / Barometer / Rainfall Area. will show next to the Area.

2.Press MODE repeatedly to select UV display.

3.Press and hold MAX / MIN to clear the readings.

Barometer

To set the altitude level compensation for the Barometer readings:

1.Press SELECT to navigate to the UVI / Barometer / Rainfall Area. will show next to the Area.

2.Press MODE repeatedly to select Barometric display.

3.Press and hold MODE to enter the altitude setting.

4.Press UP / DOWN to increase / decrease the setting value.

5.Press MODE to confirm the setting.
