While in Normal Mode, press the SET key to enter the Quick Display Mode and
to toggle through the display mode. Press + key or MIN/MAX key to select the
desired information:
1. Outdoor Temperature / Wind chill / Dew point
2. Absolute pressure / Relative pressure
3. Wind speed / Gust speed
4. 1 hour/ 24 hour / week/ month / total rainfall quantity
Press the SET key for two seconds while the rainfall total quantity is displayed to
reset the rainfall total value to zero and to cumulate the rainfall quantities until
the next reset.
5.2 Setting Mode

2. 12/24 hour format
3. Manual time setting (hours/minutes)
4. Calendar setting (year/month/date, weekday will be calculated thus no
need to set weekday)
5. Temperature display unit degree Celsius or Fahrenheit
6. Air pressure display units in hPa or inHg
7. Relative pressure setting from 300hPa – 1100hPa (default 1013.2hPa). Rela-
tive pressure is referred to sea level’s pressure and has to be adjusted first
to your local altitude. Ask for the present atmospheric pressure of your
home area (Local weather service, www, optician, calibrated instruments in
public buildings, airport).
8. Pressure threshold setting (default 2hPa, see 4.3)
9. Storm threshold setting (default 4hPa, see 4.4)
10. Wind speed and gust display units in km/h, mph, m/s, knots, bft
11. Rainfall display units in mm or inch
Note: Please set the units firstly before change units’ value. During change of units
setting, the previous set value will be changed according to the new units. However
it might cause resolution loss due to its internal calculation algorithm.
