THE LCD SCREENS

Immediately after the batteries have been installed, the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Screens will completely light up for a brief moment. There are 6 LCD Screens, each displaying different information.

Note:

After the LCD Screens briefly light up, “267” will appear in the LCD 1, then the LCD’s will display the default settings. A lowbattery warning-icon appears in LCD 1 beside the “TIME” icon (this should not be on). There is also a satellite icon that appears in LCD 6, under the “MAX” icon—this icon informs the user that the Weather Center is receiving signals from the transmitters. Within 12 minutes the Outdoor temperature and humidity should be displayed—if not, remove batteries from all units and repeat battery installation.

Following is a general display description of each LCD. Details concerning the LCD Screens will be explained during the complete Programming sections and the Features & Operations sections.

LCD 1

LCD 1—shows the time. LCD 2—moon phases and dates. LCD 3—indoor temperature/humidity. LCD 4—forecast icons and air pressure.

PROGRAM MODE

The Program Mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program the Weather Center. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up, and will require you to skip step 1 of each programming section (from section III to XII). The programming mode can be exited at any time by either pressing the MIN/MAX button, or waiting for the 20-second time-out to take effect.

**Important note: Due to a programming error, the WS-7095U will not properly recognize the dates March 1 or 2. When the date switches from February 28 (February 29 in leap years), the unit will reset all information to the default values. Any attempt to set this unit to March 1 or 2 will give the same result. To prevent this, set the unit to March 3 on February 28 or sooner. Once the actual date is March 3, you may then reset it. As of this printing, no software changes are scheduled, and we apologize for that. This product is very specialized, and volumes do not allow us to easily change the software. We appreciate your business, and strive to maintain our quality of products. We hope that you will find this unit has enough good features to help you overlook the missed programming. Feel free to call or e-mail us with any further questions.
