7 USING THE MAIN UNIT
Radio-controlled Clock : The unit starts synchronizing the clock after the 1st channel
of the wireless sensor begins to send its information to the main unit. (This is called
registration.) The built-in antenna receives the official time signal from the US
Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology. A microchip translates
the time signal and adjusts the time display for the correct time, and date.
Manually setting the time and date:
Press and hold the “TIME” button, and the year display will flash on the screen. Using
the + and – buttons adjust each section and confirm (and move on) by pressing the
“TIME” button. (set order: hours, minutes, month, date, year, daylight saving time)
NOTE: You cannot change any settings manually if the clock is attempting to synchro-
nize. Allow the clock to finish the cycle (tower icon is no longer animated), and then
manual changes can be made to the time and date settings if desired.
Time Zone:
Note: Default setting is Pacific Time. If you live outside of the Pacific Time Zone, you will
need to set your Time Zone using the following procedure:
Press the “ZONE” button on the back of the main unit to scroll through the time zone
settings.
PST = Pacific MST = Mountain CST = Central EST = Eastern
The antenna icon will flash on and off during synchronization. If the icon disappears,
this indicates that the radio signal is not available. If you are unable to obtain a signal
after a long period of time, try placing the base unit away from sources of interference
such as computers, televisions, cordless phone bases, and other electronic items.
Note: The synchronization process can take 24-72 hours.
Celsius/Fahrenheit:
Press and release the – (minus) button. The display will change to either Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
Barometer Set Up:
The digital barometer will calculate and forecast the weather conditions. Your
instrument will not provide a reliable forecast unless your current barometric pressure
is entered in.
Adjust the barometric pressure to reflect your current conditions:
NOTE: Please see http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sfc_con_pres.html to help set
and adjust the barometric pressure.
1) Press and hold PRESSURE button for 5 seconds
2) Press + , and/or - to adjust the air pressure to the current pressure.
3) Press the PRESSURE button to confirm the setting and exit
Changing the Pressure Scale: To change the scale between mb (milibars) hPA
(hectoPascals) and inHg (inches of mercury), push “ZONE” button while in pressure adjust
mode.
