4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers

such as aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and

console through a window to get a clear line of sight.

4.7 Adjustment or Calibration

Note: The calibrated value can only be adjusted on the console. The

remote sensor(s) always displays the un-calibrated or measured value.

Note: The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor

error associated with the devices margin of error. The measurement can be

adjusted from the console to calibrate to a known source.

Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can

compare it against, and is optional. This section discusses practices,

procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce manufacturing and

degradation errors. Do not compare your readings obtained from sources such

as the internet, radio, television or newspapers. They are in a different location

and typically update once per hour.

The purpose of your weather station is to measure conditions of your

surroundings, which vary significantly from location to location.

Prior to entering the calibration mode, press the CHANNEL/+ button until the

channel indication arrow is pointing at the appropriate channel.

To enter the temperature calibration mode, press and hold the

ALARM/ADJUST and CHANNEL/+ buttons at the same time for 5 seconds

and the temperature value will begin flashing. Press the CHANNEL/+ button to

increase the temperature and the CLEAR/- button to decrease the temperature

reading in 0.1° increments. To rapidly increase (or decrease) the temperature

reading, press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or CLEAR/- button.

To return the temperature to the actual or uncalibrated measurement, press the

ALARM/ADJUST button.

Once the displayed temperature equals the calibrated source, press and hold

the ALARM/ADJUST button for three seconds, or wait 15 seconds for timeout,

and the temperature value will stop flashing.

Discussion: Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed too

close to a heat source (such as a building structure, the ground or trees).
