Note:
When the console receives power from the AC adapter, the backlight remains on until it is toggled
off. Leaving the backlight on raises the inside temperature reading and lowers the inside humidity
reading.
Displaying the Forecast
Your console generates a weather forecast based on the barometric reading &
trend, wind speed & direction, rainfall, temperature, humidity, latitude & lon-
gitude, and time of year. Included in the forecast is a prediction of the sky con-
dition (sunny, cloudy, etc.) and changes in precipitation, temperature, wind
direction or wind speed.
Press FORECAST to display the forecast.
The forecast ticker mes-
sage at the bottom of the screen predicts the weather up to 48
hours in advance. The forecast is updated once an hour, on the
hour. Predictions are made for cloud cover, temperature trends, the likelihood
of precipitation, timing, severity and windy conditions.
Forecast Icons
The forecast icons show the predicted weather for the next 12 hours. If rain
and/or snow is possible but not necessarily “likely”, the partly cloudy icon
along with the rain or snow icon displays. When both the rain and snow icons
display together, a chances of rain, freezing rain, sleet and/or snow are likely.
Displaying Time & Date or Sunrise & Sunset
Your console shows the sunrise and sunset time in the same place on the
screen used by the current time and date.
Press 2ND and then press TIME to toggle the screen between the current time
and date or the sunrise and sunset times for the current day
Note:
See “Screen 4: Time & Date” on page 12 to change the console time and date or to select a 12-
or 24-hour clock.
Calibrating, Setting, and Clearing Variables
To fine-tune your station, you can calibrate most of the weather variables. For
example, if your outside temperature seems consistently too high or too low,
you can enter an offset to correct the deviation.
