Care of Nameplate

 

The large nameplate on the front side of the WEATHER 
PICTURE should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth only.  Use no 
harsh or abrasive cleaners, as these will permanently scratch the 
surface of the nameplate.  Do not spray any liquids or cleaners 
directly on the nameplate. 

In Case of Non-Responsive WEA T HER PICTURE

 

Sometimes an electrical storm or line power surge can cause the 
weather station keyboard or WEATHER PICTURE to be disabled.  
To correct this condition, unplug the WEATHER PICTURES 
power cord from its AC adapter, and re-plug to power up again.  
If this does not correct the problem, unplug the junction box cable 
from the back of the weather station keyboard display and 
remove the 9-volt battery (however, be advised that all memories 
and initial settings will be lost).  Install the battery again and 
reconnect the junction box cable.
