Clearing Weather Variables

The following weather variables can be cleared:

•Wind—Clears the wind direction calibration.

•Daily rain—Clearing the daily rain value is reflected in the daily rain total, the last 15 minutes of rain, the last three hours of rain sent to the forecast algorithm, the umbrella icon, and the monthly and yearly rain totals. Clear the daily rain total if the station accidentally recorded rain when the ISS was installed.

•Monthly rain—Clears the monthly rain total. Does not affect the yearly rain total.

•Yearly rain—Clears the yearly rain total.

•Daily ET—Clears daily ET and subtracts the old daily ET total from the monthly and yearly ET totals.

•Monthly ET—Clears the current monthly ET total. Does not affect the yearly ET total.

•Yearly ET—Clears the current yearly ET total.

To clear a single weather variable:

1.Select the weather variable.

See “Selecting Weather Variables” on page 18.

2.Press and release 2ND, then press and hold CLEAR.

The variable you’ve chosen blinks. Keep holding the key until the value changes to zero or, in the case of the barometer, the raw barometer value. Clearing the barome- ter value also clears the elevation setting.
