[. . . ] Press the SET key to enter the alarm value setting (alarm value flashing) 2. Press the SET key to confirm and enter the LOW air pressure alarm setting. If no HIGH outdoor humidity setting is needed, please press the ALM DATA key to enter the LOW Air Pressure alarm setting. IV. LOW AIR PRESSURE ALARM SETTING Note: Within the LOW air pressure alarm setting there are optional sub-settings. The " acoustic alarm signal will be heard when the weather alarm is trigged if buzzer is set OFF. Set the alarm ON/OFF: 1. Press the SET key to enter the alarm value setting (alarm value flashing) 2. If no LOW air pressure alarm setting is needed, please press the ALM DATA key to exit the Weather Alarm setting. IV. Note: The alarm icon " " or " " will be shown in normal display when the weather alarm is set ON. To exit the weather alarm setting mode anytime, press the CH key or wait for automatic timeout. The mode will return to normal time display. 12 WEATHER ALARM OPERATIONS WEATHER ALARMS The Weather alarms are settable for when certain weather conditions are met according to the users requirements. For example, the user can set the thresholds for the outdoor temperature to +104°F (+40°C) (high) and +14°F (-10°C) (low), whilst only enabling the high alarm and disabling the low alarm (i. e. temperatures < +14°F (-10°C) won't trigger alarm, but temperatures > +104°F (+40°C) will). Alarm setting Air Pressure Outdoor Temperature Indoor Temperature Humidity (all) Minimum 27. 16 inHg (920. 0 hPa) -22° F (-30. 0°C) +14°F (-10. 0°C) 1% RH Maximum 31. 89 inHg (1080. 0 hPa) +157. 9° F (+69. 9°C) +139. 9°F (+59. 9°C) 99% RH HYSTERESIS To compensate for fluctuation of the measured data, which may cause the weather alarm to sound constantly if the measured reading is close to user set level, a hysteresis function has been implemented for each weather alarm. For example, if the high temperature alarm is set to +78°F (+25°C) and the current value moves to +78°F (+25°C), the alarm will be activated (if it has been enabled). Now when the temperature drops to +77. 9°F (+24. 9°C) or below and thereafter again increases to beyond +78°F (+25°C), the data will be blinking, but no alarm will be activated. It has to drop to below +77. 9°F (+24°C) (with a pre-set hysteresis of 2°F (1°C)) so that the alarm can be produced again. Hysteresis values for the various weather data types are given in the following table: Weather data Temperature Humidity Air pressure Hysteresis 2°F (1°C) 3% RH 0. 03 inHg (1 hPa) GENERAL ALARM General alarm indicator General indoor alarm icon General outdoor alarm icon The general alarm indicator (red LED) and the general alarm icon will flash when any Weather Alarm occurs. General Alarm Indicator The general alarm indicator is located at the top of the weather station. It will flash when any weather alarm occurs to indicate that a set weather condition has been reached. To stop the general alarm indicator from flashing press the ALM STOP (or any other keys) to switch off the indicator. 13 General Alarm Icon The general indoor alarm icon will flash when indoor temperature alarm, indoor humidity alarm or air pressure alarm occur. The general outdoor alarm icon will flash when the outdoor temperature and humidity alarm occurs. Additionally, the trigged alarm value and time will then be displayed briefly for 2 seconds on the bottom part of the weather station LCD. If more than one Weather Alarm occurred, each trigged alarm value and time can be viewed by pressing the ALM DATA key. The general indoor (or outdoor) alarm icon will be switch off when all indoor (or outdoor) trigged alarms information are displayed. MOON PHASE The Moon icon of the weather station will also display 12 different Moon phases according to the set calendar. Note: In the southern hemisphere, the phases of the moon are same but the shape of the moon is mirror inverted.

[. . . ] Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Return it to their original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
