USER’S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchasing of BAA968HG Top Weather Station.

BAA968HG is an all-in-one clock and weather device. It forecasts the weather with kinetic-moving graphic illustrations and gives indoor and outdoor temperature. It also shows a trend indicator and records minimum and maximum temperatures.

Apart from temperature, BAA968HG shows the indoor and outdoor relative humidity and rates the comfort level. It also retains the maximum and minimum relative humidity readings. 3 remote thermo-hygro sensors are included with the unit. BAA968HG is able to receive and display readings from up to 3 remote sensors.

The built-in barometer enables BAA968HG to display the atmospheric pressure with user-selectable altitude adjustment. A bar graph will show the pressure trend of the last 24 hours.

What is more, BAA968HG is equipped with a moon phase scanner, which lets you check the moon phase of any day between 1990 and

2089. Other features include a HiGlo backlight, daily crescendo alarm

with eight-minute snooze function, and extra-large display. No wire installation is required between the main and remote units

as BAA968HG operates at 433MHz.
