While the snooze function is active, the ‘Zz’ symbol appears in the display. • This operation moves the alarm back by 5 minutes and the alarm will restart at this time. • The snooze function can be interrupted by pressing any button or repeated up to 7 times. °C/°F temperature display: The temperature is displayed either in °C/°F. Briefly pressing the ‘°C/°F’ button allows you to switch between the individual modes. Temperature Trend Display: After you insert the batteries, the weather station measures the current temperature. The trend display shows a neutral temperature course (horizontal arrow). The further course of the trend display is determined as follows: • If, after an hour, the temperature is more than 1°C higher than the value measured first, then a positive course is displayed (arrow pointing upwards). • If, after an hour, the temperature is more than 1°C lower than the value measured first, then a negative course is displayed (arrow pointing downwards). • If the temperature does not change within an hour, the the upward or downward pointing arrow becomes a horizontal arrow. The measured temperature is then taken as the neutral value from which further prognoses are made. Maximum/Minimum Temperature/Relative Humidity: • To toggle indoor/outdoor maximum, minimum temperature and humidity data, press the ‘MEM’ button: Once to show the maximum temperature and humidity values. Twice to show the minimum temperature and humidity values. Three times to return to the current temperature and humidity levels. • To reset the maximum and minimum temperature and humidity, press and hold down the ‘MEM’ button for about 2 seconds. This will reset all minimum and maximum data recorded to the current displayed values. Relative Humidity Trend Display: After you insert the batteries, the weather station measures the current relative humidity. The trend display shows a neutral relative humidity course (horizontal arrow). The further course of the trend display is determined as follows: • If, after an hour, the relative humidity is more than 5% higher than the value measured first, then a positive course is displayed (arrow pointing upwards). • If, after an hour, the relaive humidity is more than 5% lower than the value measured first, then a negative course is displayed (arrow pointing downwards). • If the relative humidty does not change within an hour, the the upward or downward pointing arrow becomes a horizontal arrow. The measured relative humidity is then taken as the neutral value from which further prognoses are made. Temperature Alert Setting: • Press and hold down the ‘ALERT’ button for 2 seconds until the con for Temperature Alert starts to flash. • The icon of Upper limit of the alarm will flash. Use the ‘MPA/INHG’ and ‘°C/°F’ buttons to set the required maximum temperature. Press the ‘ALERT’ button to confirm the settings. • The icon of Lower limit of the alarm will flash. Use the ‘MPA/INHG’ and ‘°C/°F’ buttons to set the required minimum temperature. Press the ‘ALERT’ button to confirm the settings and to end the settings procedure. • When Temperature Alert is On Alert: there are 3 beep sounds per second, the alarm will sound for 1 minute if you do not deactivate it with any button.

One sensor is supplied with your weather station and is set by default to channel 1. • Press and hold down the ‘CH’ button for 2 seconds to search for the outside sensor (this will erase the current temperature data inside the clock). Air Pressure Display: The course of the air pressure is displayed on the display in the form of a histogram. You have the options of displaying the air pressure in mb/hPa or in Hg. To switch between these displays, briefly press the ‘MPA/INHG’ button. Relative air pressure history: The relative air pressure history can be displayed numerically to view the air pressure changes over the last 0-12 hours. Press the ‘HISTORY’ button to display the recorded air pressure changes during the last 0-12 full hours. The numeric recorded air pressure will be displayed according to the hour. The relative air pressure is displayed either in hPa or in Hg. Briefly pressing the ‘MPA/INHG’ button allows you to switch between the individual modes. Weather Forecast: The weather station use the air pressure data of the last 4 hours to create a weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours. It must be taken into account that the data within the first 12 hours after inserting the batteries will not be correct, as the weather station has to get used to the environmental circumstances after the restart. The forecast can be given for a radius of up to 12-20km. When forecasting the weather, the station uses 5 icons: sunny, light cloud cover, cloudy, rain and stormy.
