Briefly press the button “DOWN” in order to switch betwee °C (degree Celcius) and °F (degree
Fahrenheit).
Displaying MIN/MAX values for temperature and air humidity
Briefly press the “MAX/MIN” button in order to switch between the display of the MAX values, the
MIN values and the present measured values.
☞
Depending whether the MIN or MAX values are displayed, “MIN” or “MAX” respec-
tively will appear at the bottom of the display (above the humidity).
Deleting MAX/MIN values
The saved values will always be deleted automatically at 0:00 o’clock; manual deletion is not
possible.
Temperature trend display
In the upper right of the display the trend of the temperature is shown displaying the change of
the measured interior temperature for the last 12 hours as a bar graph.
Weather forecast
In the upper left of the display the weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours is shown as a graphical
display.
The weather station forecast is one of the most interesting features. Although, of course, the
weather station cannot replace the professional weather forecast on the radio, television or
Internet through highly-qualified meteorologists, it is remarkable that a precision of about 70%
can be achieved based on readings and monitoring of the barometric pressure over recent days.
Regarding the symbols and their meaning we would like to give some explanation:
• If “sunny” is displayed at night, this means a starlit night.
• The display does not represent the momentary weather situation, but is a forecast for the next
12 to 24 hours.
• The calculation of the weather forecast based only on barometric pressure results in a maximum
accuracy of about 70%. The actual weather the next day can therefore be completely different.
Since the measured barometric pressure only applies for an area with a diameter of about 50 km,
the weather can also change quickly. This is especially true in hilly or mountainous locations.
Therefore, don’t depend on the weather forecast of the weather station, but inform yourself
locally when you would like to hike in the mountains, for example.
• In case of sudden or larger air pressure fluctuations, the display symbols are updated to indi-
cate the weather change. If the display symbols do not change, either the air pressure did not
change or the change occurred so gradually that it cannot be registered by the weather sta-
tion.
• If the weather forecast shows “Sun” or “Rain”, the display won’t change even if the weather
improves (display “Sun”) or deteriorates (display “Rain”) since those symbols already display
the two extreme conditions.
• The display symbols indicate a weather change for the better or worse, which does not have
to mean sun or rain, however, as indicated by the symbols.
For example, if the current weather is cloudy and rain is displayed, this does not mean that the
device malfunctions, but rather that the air pressure has dropped and that a worse weather
condition is to be expected, which does not necessarily have to mean rain, however.
• After making the basic settings, you should not pay attention to the measuring values and
weather forecasts for the first 12 to 24 hours, because the station must first collect air pressure
data in this period at a constant height above sea level before being able to make a more exact
forecast.
• If the weather station is brought to a significantly higher or lower location than the original site
(e.g. from the ground floor to the upper storeys of a building) the weather station may possibly
erroneously detect a change in weather.
Enabling/disabling the alarm function
In normal display mode (not in set mode) press the "UP" button to enable the alarm function (bell
symbol appears to the left of the time) or disable it (bell symbol vanishes).
Stopping the alarm signal, SNOOZE-function
• If the alarm signal is released at the set alarm time the so-called SNOOZE-function
(“SNOOZE”) can be activated by pressing the button “SNZ”.
Subsequently the bell symbols starts flashing and the alarm signal is interrupted for about 8
minutes. Then the alarm will be reactivated.
• In order terminate the alarm signal briefly press one of the other buttons.
Comfort indicator
The so-called “comfort indicator” is displayed via the display of the indoor temperature/humidity.
It is a graphic symbol for a combination of humidity and temperature:
„☺” Ideal
„” Acceptable
„” Unfavourable (e.g. too moist or too dry air)
Mounting or setting-up the weather station
The weather station is equipped with a retractable foot on the back for placing on a table. Set up
the product only on a flat, stable and sufficiently sized area.
It is also possible to mount it on a wall. A hole on the back of the display unit is for hanging it up,
e.g. on a screw or a nail.
☞
When deciding on the placing, it may be necessary to use an appropriate pad mate-
rial on valuable furniture to avoid impressions or scratches on the surface.
Maintenance and Cleaning
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for any
reason.
Please use a dry, clean, soft cloth for cleansing. Do not apply too much pressure on the display,
as it can be damaged. Furthermore, scratches can occur.
Do not use any chemical cleaning agents, which might discolour the plastic housing.
