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 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 21.

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 barometer value also clears the elevation setting.

Clear All Command

This command clears all stored high and low weather data including monthly and yearly highs and lows and clears alarm settings all at once:

1.Press WIND on the console.

2.Press 2ND then press and hold CLEAR for at least six seconds.

3.Release CLEAR when “CLEARING NOW” displays at the bottom of the console’s screen.

Highs and Lows Mode

The Vantage Pro2 records highs and lows for many weather conditions over three different periods: days, months, and years. Except for Yearly Rainfall, all high and low registers are cleared automatically at the end of each period.

For example, daily highs are cleared at midnight, monthly highs are cleared at month–end midnight, yearly highs are cleared at year–end mid- night. You may enter the month that you would like the Yearly Rainfall accumulation to clear. The Yearly Rainfall clears on the first day of the month you chosen. The Yearly High Rain rate clears using the same set- ting. The following table lists the high and low modes for all the weather variables:
