EN The wind level is shown by a series of icons: ICON LEVEL DESCRIPTION N/A 88 km/h) To view the maximum wind speed and minimum wind chill readings: 1. Press SELECT to navigate to the Wind Speed / Wind Direction / Wind Chill Area. will show next to the Area. 2. Press MAX / MIN to toggle between current / MAX wind speed and current / MIN wind chill displays. The timestamp of when maximum wind speed was recorded is displayed accordingly in the Clock Area. To clear minimum wind chill reading / maximum wind speed reading: 1. Press SELECT to navigate to the Wind Speed / Wind Direction / Wind Chill Area. will show next to the Area. 2. Press MAX / MIN repeatedly until minimum wind chill reading or maximum wind speed reading is displayed. 3. Press and hold MAX / MIN to clear the readings. NOTE The wind chill factor is based on the combined effects of temperature and wind speed. Displayed wind chill is calculated solely from Channel 1 sensor. UVI / BAROMETER / RAINFALL The weather station works with one UV sensor and one rain gauge. The station is capable of storing and displaying the hourly history data for the last 10 hours of UV index, and 24 hours of rainfall and barometric pressure readings. UVI BAROMETER RAINFALL To select the measurement unit for the barometer or rainfall readings: In the UV / Barometer / Rainfall Area, press UNIT to switch between: • Barometer: Millimeters of mercury (mmHg), inches of mercury (inHg), millibars per hectopascal (mb). • Rainfall: Millimeters (mm), inches (in), recorded for that hour. NOTE As the purpose of the bar graph is only to provide a quick comparison between the records of the past 24 hours, the vertical axis cannot convert from inches to mm. Therefore, changing the measurement unit will have no effect on the bar graph display. UV INDEX The UV index levels are as follows: UV INDEX 0-2 DANGER LEVEL Low 3-5 Moderate 6-7 High 8-10 Very high 11 and above Extremely high ICON To view the maximum UV reading: 1.
