“Learning Mode”

Self-Calibrating Forecasting use a unique algorithm to analyze changes in pressure and temperature over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude. After 14 days, the Learning Mode icon disappears from the display screen. At this point, the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is ready for superior weather prediction.

Barometric Pressure

Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This weather center displays the current pressure with an arrow icon to indicate the direction the pressure is trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING).

High & Low Records

The Record Highs & Lows button ( ) displays minimum and maximum recordings for outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity. To select between viewing daily (since midnight) or all-time records, slide the switch located on the back of the display. To reset low records, press and hold the ( ) button while viewing low records. To reset high records, press and hold the ( ) button while viewing high

records.
