the sensors or the wireless display, press and hold the ▲UP ARROW key for 2 seconds to re-synchronize the wireless display with the sensors. WIND SENSOR The wind sensor must be installed with the front of the sensor (the solar panel) facing true South, or the reported wind direction will not be accurate. Mount within the 50 meters wireless range of the thermo-hygro sensor and on the same side of the house. The roof may or may not be an ideal mounting location.

The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy. Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48-60 hours.

• Mode 2: the bar graph displays the air pressure history of the past 72 hours in seven steps. The horizontal axis represents the last 72 hours of air pressure recording (-72, -48, -36, -24, -12, -6 and 0 hour). The vertical bars are plotted at each of the nine steps and give the trend over the recorded period. The 0 hour vertical bar will always display at the midline height to indicate the current air pressure.
