Using Your Weather Station

The console LCD screen and keyboard provide easy access to your weather information.

The key- board controls console functions for viewing current and historical weather information, setting and clearing alarms, changing stations types, viewing and/or changing station settings, setting up and viewing graphs, selecting sensors, getting the forecast, and so on.
