[. . . ] Confirm with the SET key and enter the "Calendar Setting" or exit the setting mode by pressing the CH key Note: The unit will still try and receive the signal despite it being manually set. When it does receive the signal, it will change the manually set time into the received time. If reception has been unsuccessful, then the DCF tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted the following day. CALENDAR SETTING: Year (flashing) Date (flashing) Month (flashing) The date default of the Weather station is 1. Once the radio-controlled time signals are received, the date is automatically updated. However, if the signals are not received, the date can also be set manually. Press the IN (or OUT) key to set the date and the OUT (or IN) key to set the month required. Confirm with the SET key and enter the "Snooze setting " or exit the setting mode by pressing the CH key. SNOOZE SETTING Important: The snooze setting in this Weather Station will not have any effect in this unit performance. Simply press the SET key to skip this setting and enter the "°C/°F setting" or exit the setting mode by pressing the CH key. °C/°F SETTING: Flashing 41 The default temperature reading is set to °C (degree Celsius). The "°C" will be flashing, use the IN key to toggle between "°C" and "°F". Once the desired temperature unit has been chosen, confirm with the SET key and enter the "Weather Forecast Icon Sensitivity setting" or exit the setting mode by pressing the CH key. WEATHER FORECASTING ICON SENSITIVITY SETTING For locations with rapid changes of weather conditions, the threshold can be set to a different level for faster display of weather conditions. There are 3 levels of setting: 1, 2 and 3; level 1 is the most sensitive setting, level 3 is the least sensitive setting (default setting is "2"). Confirm with the SET key and exit the Manual settings. WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY THE WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS There are 3 weather icons on the third section of the LCD which can be displayed in any of the following combinations: Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy 42 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 rain. Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecast 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 an 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. 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). [. . . ] Remove the stand from the Weather Station by pulling it away from the base and hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing. POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER The sensor is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The sensor can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the transmitter. To wall mount: 1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. [. . . ]
