Low battery Indicator
Indicator (rain sensor)
*When the signal from the transmitter/ or Rain sensor is successfully received by the Weather Station, this icon will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown on the LCD). User can therefore easily see whether the last reception was successful (“ON” icon) or not (“OFF” icon). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is being done at that time.

RELATIVE PRESSURE REFERENCE VALUE SETTING
Note:
The default reference pressure value of the barometer is 29.91inHg when batteries are first inserted. For an exact measurement, it is necessary to first adjust the barometer to your local relative air pressure (related to elevation above sea level). Ask for the current atmospheric pressure of your home area (Local weather service, www, optician, calibrated instruments in public buildings, airport).
The relative air pressure can be manually set to another value within the range of 27.17 to 31.90 inHg (919 to 1080 hPa) for a better reference.
Flashing
1.The current relative pressure value will start flashing
2.Use the + or MIN/MAX key to increase or decrease the value. Continually holding the key will allow the value to increase faster.
3.Confirm with the SET key and enter the WEATHER TENDENCY SENSITIVITY VALUE SETTING.
Note:
This feature is useful for those who live at elevations above sea level, but want their air pressure display to be based on sea level elevation.
