USE

Basic Functions Display Modes

The Professional Wireless Weather Center was designed to give you the most useful information at a glance. The following is an overview of basic functions for everyday use.

WEATHER PAGE DISPLAY:

The weather page display area will show you information about the currently selected weather type. The weather scale will show you additional information, like trend or wind direction. You may also access history records for the currently selected weather page.

MANUALLY BROWSE WEATHER PAGES: You may manually browse through the available weather pages at any time by pressing the “< ” or “> ” buttons located on the front of the display console

WIRELESS SIGNAL RECEPTION ICON:

The display console features a “SENSOR” signal reception icon to the left of the clock display area. If there are a low number of “bars” present, you may experience no temperature display ( “--” ) or inaccuracy. Occasionally, due to intermittent physical obstructions (such as vehicle traffic, etc.) or other environmental interference, the signal may be lost. If the sensor batteries are low the signal will be lost as well. After a signal loss- the display console will automatically begin to search for the wireless multi-sensor and attempt to re-acquire the wireless signal. In the event that the signal is lost completely and cannot be re-acquired, the antennae icon will flash with no bars.

In the case that the sensor signal is lost completely, you may need to relocate the display console or the wireless multi-sensor.

The weather page display has three distinct viewing modes- Manual, Cycle or Auto-Display. To change between these modes, press the display button “ ” located on the front of the display console.

MANUAL: (default) In manual display mode, whichever weather page you browse to will remain on the display.

CYCLE: In cycle display mode, the display will automatically cycle through all available weather pages. Each page will be displayed for approximately 5 seconds. Note that you may still manually browse through the weather pages at any time by pressing the browse buttons, but the display will begin to cycle again after 5 seconds of no activity.

AUTO-DISPLAY: In this mode, whichever weather pages have adverse conditions being reported will display automatically. For example, with auto display mode selected- if it begins to rain, the “RAINFALL” weather page will automatically display. If multiple weather pages report adverse conditions (example; RAINFALL/IN-TEMP), all of the affected weather pages will automatically display in a cycle until the conditions return to “normal”. After conditions normalize, the weather page that was previously selected will display again.

BOOK MARK:

The bookmark feature allows you to quickly view the weather page that is most important to you, no matter what display mode you are in.
