OPERATION
Once the main unit is powered, the display will show all available LCD segments for a moment.
IMPORTANT: All of the display functions will be locked, allowing setting of your local altitude and pressure parameters by pressing the UP (? ) or DOWN (? ) and MODE buttons. The locked display will show the pressure icon and abbreviation “inHg” flashing in the Weather Forecast/ Pressure Window, default time in Clock Window and channel 1’s temperature and humidity readings in Temperature/ Humidity Window.
If pressure and altitude are not configured during this time, the unit will

WEATHER FORECAST
This unit is capable of detecting the atmospheric pressure changes. Based on collected weather data, it forecasts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.

NOTE: The weather forecast accuracy is approximately 70%. The main unit display shows forecasted (predicted) not current conditions. The SUNNY icon indicates clear weather, even when displayed during the nighttime.
PRESSURE OPERATION
The pressure window displays: current barometric pressure, sea level pressure, and weather forecast. The information contains a number of historical statistics: pressure/ temperature/ humidity history
Pressure can be measured in inHg, hPa/mBar or mmHg, and altitude is determined in either meters or feet. IMPORTANT: There are three viewing options available: barometric pressure SEA LEVEL or LOCAL and ALTITUDE. Local pressure is a measured value (can’t be adjusted) while Sea Level & Altitude are variables that you can enter. It is advisable to select and program only one of the variables and to allow the unit to calculate the third value.
