USING THE SUB-UNIT

Data Transfer from the Sub-unit

•Data is transferred from the sub-unit to the main unit every three minutes.

•The sub-unit is able to send data to the main unit up to an unobstructed distance of about 30 meters.

•The data receive status is indicated on the display of the main unit by the icons shown below.

Receive successful

Receive unsuccessful

•If a receive operation is not successful for some reason, the display of the main unit shows dashes (–) in place of the sub-unit temperature value.

•If you experience problems with data transfer, press the RE-SYNC button (0) to synchronize the two units. If this does not eliminate the problem, try changing the positions or orientations of the main unit and sub-unit.

Switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit

•Push the °C/ °F button (A) to toggle between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Location

•Place the sub-unit in a location where it will not be exposed to rain, direct sunlight, or other elements.

USING THE WEATHER FORECAST FEATURE

A built in pressure sensor makes it possible to forecast upcoming weather over the next 12 hours based on changes in barometric pressure. Note that these forecasts are not absolutely accurate, and are intended for general reference only.

Weather Forecasts

•Barometric pressure readings are taken every 15 minutes. Weather forecasts are based on the last six readings. Upcoming weather forecasts are displayed using the graphic indicators shown below.
