Another weather function is the humidity readings. It shows the
indoor relative humidity and rates the comfort level. It can retain
the maximum and minimum relative humidity readings.
A built-in barometer displays the atmospheric pressure with a userselect altitude adjustment. A bar graph shows the pressure trend for
the last 24 hours.
The unit includes a moon phase scanner. This feature graphically
illustrates the current moon phase and lets you check the moon
phase of any date between 1990 and 2089.
Other features of the BAA928U include a clock and calendar, HiGlo
backlight, extra-large liquid crystal display (LCD), and a daily
