How to Read Temperatures and Other Displays (continued)
OUTDOOR WIND CHILL
Wind Chill combines temperature and average wind speed for an
“apparent” temperature, or how cold air on exposed skin actually feels. The Wind Chill reading appears on the right side of the LCD screen, below the Heat Index reading.
WIND SPEED & DIRECTION
The Wind Gauge Sensor samples the wind speed and direction and transmits these readings to the home receiver unit. The Wind Speed & Direction is the circular display on the left side of the LCD screen, left of the Heat Index and Wind Chill displays.
The Wind Direction is indicated by the arrow pointer icons surrounding the Wind Speed reading. The receiver displays 16 wind directions. Eight of the wind directions are marked on the display: N for north, S for south, SW for Southwest, etc. If the wind direction is between North and Northwest, for example, the arrow will point to the dot between the two directions.
The Wind Speed appears in the center of the arrow icons. The Wind Speed can display in miles per hour (mph), kilometers per hour (km/h), meters per second (m/s), Knots, or Beaufort (bft). Press the “UNIT” button on the front of the receiver unit to change the display units.
The Wind Gauge Sensor measures both an average wind speed and the greatest wind speed, or wind gust. The Average Wind Speed reported is an average of wind speed over the last 2 minutes. The Wind Gust reported is the maximum wind speed that occurred in the last 10 minutes. Press the “WIND” button on the front of the receiver unit to switch between Average (“AVG”) and Wind Gust (“GUST”) displays.
MAXIMUM /MINIMUM MEMORY
Press the “MEMORY” button on the front of the home receiver repeatedly to view the maximum & minimum values of temperature, humidity, heat index or wind speed readings. To clear the memory record, press and hold the “MEMORY” button while the respective values are displayed onscreen.
Backlight
Press the “BACKLIGHT” button for an extended green backlight to illuminate the receiver's LCD screen for easy viewing.
