SEA LEVEL barometric pressure option should be selected. In this case, the SEA LEVEL barometric pressure value can be adjusted according to the local metro area weather information. (Sources – local TV or radio station, etc). NOTE: Locate your altitude with a portable GPS receiver or topographical map .Locate barometric pressure at: http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/ccus.html or, alternatively, from local radio or TV weather channels.
Once the main unit is powered, the display will show all available LCD segments for a moment
IMPORTANT: All of the display functions will be locked, allowing setting pressure parameters and your local altitude. The locked display will show the abbreviation “hPa/mBar” flashing in the Pressure Mode, indoor temperature and humidity readings in Temperature/Humidity Mode, default time in Clock Mode and a default date in the Alarm/Calendar Mode.
If the pressure and altitude are not configured during this time, the unit will
NOTE: This is the only time when you can enter/adjust your local altitude units and value.
To set the pressure & altitude units and program your altitude, use the main unit buttons located on the back:
•Press UP or DOWN button on the back of the unit selecting the pressure in inHg or hPa/mBar
•Press UNIT button to confirm and move to the altitude unit selection mode
•Press UP or DOWN button selecting the altitude unit in feet or meters.
•Press UNIT button to confirm and move to the altitude value programming mode.

•Press UP or DOWN to adjust an altitude value. Press and hold either button for the advanced setting.
•Press PRESSURE/ALTITUDE button to confirm the programmed altitude.

WEATHER FORECAST
This unit is capable of detecting the atmospheric pressure changes. Based on collected weather data, it forecasts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.
Note: The weather forecast accuracy is approximately 70%. Display shows forecasted, not current conditions. The SUNNY icon indicates clear weather, even when displayed during the
PRESSURE HISTORY CHART
The pressure bar graph shows barometric pressure variations over the past 24 hours. This is very useful for understanding the Barometric trends that are used in weather forecasting. Each bar icon represents 0.06 inHg or 2mBar
