[. . . ] WIRELESS 915 MHz WEATHER STATION WS-9257U-IT Instruction Manual INTRODUCTION Congratulations on purchasing this weather station with wireless 915 MHz transmission of outdoor temperature/humidity, and display of indoor temperature/humidity and air pressure. It also functions as a normal clock with calendar display and alarm setting. In addition, weather forecast, sunrise/ sunset time as well as the moon phase are shown. This innovative product is ideal for use in the home or office. FEATURES The weather station Function keys Hanging hole LCD display Battery compartment Foldout stand 1 12 hour time display (seconds displayed by pressing the SUN key) Weekday, date and month display (year only in setting mode) Daylight saving time (DST) function selectable Daily alarm function Weather forecast with weather tendency indicator Temperature display in degree Fahrenheit (°F) Indoor temperature display with MIN/MAX recordings Outdoor temperature display with MIN/MAX recordings, time and date All MIN/MAX recordings can be reset Indoor and outdoor humidity display in RH% Display of relative or absolute air pressure Relative air pressure inHg with adjustable reference value Relative air pressure history for the past 12 hours Display of sunrise time, sunset time and sun duration time in 93 USA cities and 6 Canadian cities Display 8 moon phase icons with indicator throughout the year LCD contrast setting Low battery indicators Table standing/wall mounting 2 The outdoor thermo-hygro transmitter Remote transmission of outdoor temperature and humidity to weather station by 915 MHz Alternately display the outdoor temperature and humidity on LCD Wall mounting case Mounting at a sheltered place. [. . . ] The city's sunrise, sun duration and sunset time will be displayed in a few seconds. City code (flashing) 16 Sunrise icon Sunset icon Sunrise time of selected city 4. 5. Sun duration Sunset time of (hours : minutes) selected city Press the SUN key twice to go back to normal date display. User can exit the setting mode by pressing the SET key or ALARM key without saving the changes. ALARM SETTING Alarm time (flashing) Alarm indicator (ON) To set the daily alarm: 1. Press and hold ALARM key for 2 seconds until the alarm time shown. 17 2. Press the + key or MIN/MAX key to adjust the hour. Press ALARM key once and minute digit will be flashing. Press + key or MIN/MAX key to set the minute. Press ALARM key once to confirm the setting, or exit the setting mode by pressing the SET key or SUN key. Note: To activate/deactivate the alarm function, press the ALARM key once. The display of the alarm icon represents that the alarm is "ON". Note: The duration of alarm sounding is 2 minutes. Press any key will stop the alarm sound. TO EXIT SETTING MODE To exit the setting mode, wait for automatic timeout to return to normal time display. DISPLAY OF SUN DURATION TIME 1. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny). If the Weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), discard the weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. By doing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude. WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR Working together with the weather icons is the weather tendency indicator (located on the left of the weather icons). When the arrow points upwards, it means that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when arrow points downwards, the air pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse. Taking this into account, one can see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards. 20 Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD. AIR PRESSURE HISTORY (ELECTRONIC BAROMETER WITH BAROMETRIC PRESSURE TREND) The right side of the second section on the LCD shows the air pressure history bar graph. Air pressure unit in inHg Air pressure trend over the last 12 hours The bar graph indicates the air pressure history trend over the past 12 hours in 7 steps (+0. 15, +0. 09, +0. 03, 0, -0. 03, -0. 09, and ­0. 15 inHg) at the points 0, -3, -6, -9 and -12 hours. The "0h" represents the current full hour air pressure recording. The left column shows the unit in "inHg" (0, ±0. 03, ±0. 09, ±0. 15). The "0" in the middle of this scale is equal to the current pressure and each change (±0. 03, ±0. 09, ±0. 15) represents how high or low, in "inHg" scale, the past pressure was compared to the current pressure. If the bars are rising it means that the weather is getting better due to the increase of air pressure.
