I. INDOOR TEMPERATURE The Weather Temperature Station monitors the temperature within its immediate proximity, and displays this temperature in the INDOOR LCD. The temperature is monitored as soon as the batteries are installed. II. WEATHER FORECAST The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-7044U averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast— c

There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the FORECAST LCD: Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny). Sun with Clouds— indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be sunny with clouds). Clouds with Rain—indicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that the weather will be rainy). The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. Th

change in order from: “sunny” to “sun with clouds” to “clouds with rain,” or the reverse. It will not change from “sunny” directly to “rainy,” although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the weather has not changed, or the change has been too slow and gradual to register. B. WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up (under the forecast icons) and one that

III. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE—WITH MINIMUM & MAXIMUM FEATURE The Weather Temperature Station receives the outdoor temperature from the Remote Temperature Sensor, and the temperature appears in the OUTDOOR LCD. The Remote Temperature Sensor makes a temperature update every 1 minute, and transmits a new temperature to the Weather Temperature Station 3 times every 10 minutes. The Weather Temperature Station also keeps a record of the Minimum and Maximum temperatures it has recorded.

B. RESETTING THE MINIMUM/MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE 1. Press and hold the MIN/MAX button for 3 seconds. This will reset all records to the current outdoor temperature. MOUNTING Note: Extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the Weather Temperature Station, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a t

desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The Weather Temperature Station should display a temperature in the OUTDOOR LCD within 3 minutes of setting-up. I. THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR The Remote Temperature Sensor can be mounted in two ways: • with the use of screws, or • using the adhesive tape. A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS 1.
