TO EXIT THE MANUAL SETTING MODE
To exit the manual setting mode anytime during the manual setting, press the ALARM key. The mode will return to normal time display.
ALARM SETTING
To set the alarm:
1.
Press and hold ALARM key for 3 seconds until the alarm time shown.
2.
The hour digit will be flashing. Use the + or MIN/MAX key to adjust the hour. Keep holding the key allows the value to advance faster.
3.
Use the ALARM key again, and the minute digits will be flashing. Press + or MIN/MAX key to set the minute. Keep holding the key allows the value to
advance faster.
4.
Press the ALARM key to confirm the setting.
Note:
To activate/deactivate the alarm function, press the ALARM key once. The display of the alarm icon represents that the alarm is "ON".
The duration of alarm sounding is 2 minutes. Press any key will stop the alarm sound.
WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS:
The weather icons in the second section of LCD can be displayed in any of the following combinations:
Sunny
For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not
change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the weather station to register. However, if the icon
displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons
are already at their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the
current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air
pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.
Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the weather station to collect
air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about
75% due to the varying areas the weather station has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to
rain), the weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
If the weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper
floors of a house), discard the weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. By doing this, the weather station will not mistake the new location as being a
possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.
WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR
The weather tendency indicators (located on the left side of the weather icons) are working together with the weather icons. When the indicator points
upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is
dropping and the weather is expected to become worse.
Taking this into account, one can see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together
with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the
weather will be cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.
Note:
Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD.
AIR PRESSURE HISTORY (ELECTRONIC BAROMETER WITH BAROMETRIC PRESSURE TREND)
The right side of the second section of the LCD shows the air pressure history bar graph.
The bar graph indicates the air pressure history trend over the last 12 hours in 7 intervals: 0h,
hour air pressure recording. The columns represent the "hPa" (0, ±1, ±3, ±5) at specific time. The "0" in the middle of this scale is equal to the current
pressure and each change (±1, ±3, ±5) represents how high or low in "hPa" the past pressure was compared to the current pressure.
If the bars are rising it means that the weather is getting better due to the increase of air pressure. If the bars go down, it means the air pressure has dropped
and the weather is expected to get worse from the present time "0h".
Note:
For accurate barometric pressure trends, the weather station should operate at the same altitude for recordings (i.e. it should not be moved from the
ground to the second floor of the house). When the unit is moved to a new location, discard readings for the next 12 hours.
The level of the pressure bar will be affected by the temperature change and it is for reference only.
INDOOR TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY DATA
The indoor temperature and humidity data are automatically updated and displayed on the first section of the LCD.
