Selecting Units of Measure

Light

Press LIGHT to turn on the backlight for the screen display. Press LIGHT
again to turn the backlight off.

Use the backlight when the LCD is not clearly visible. When the console is
battery operated, the backlight remains on as long as keys are being pressed. If no keys are
being used, the backlight automatically turns off about fifteen seconds after it is turned on. If
any key is pressed while it is turned on, it will stay illuminated for 60 seconds from the last
key press. When battery power is low, the backlight does not light.

Note:

When the console receives power from the AC adapter, the backlight remains on until it is
toggled off. Leaving the backlight on for an extended period of time raises the inside
temperature reading and lowers the inside humidity reading.

To adjust the screen’s contrast, press and release 2ND then press the + and
- keys multiple times while the 2nd icon appears on the screen. The + key
darkens the segments currently displaying on the console screen. The - key
lightens the segments currently displaying on the console screen. Adjust
the contrast as desired.

Note:

The step changes are subtle. You may need to press the keys several times.

Selecting Units of Measure

Most weather variables may be displayed in at least two different measurement units,
including US and metric systems, although some variables feature more possibilities.
Barometric pressure, for example, may be displayed in millibars, millimeters, inches, or
hectoPascals. You can change each variable’s units independently and at any time.
To change units:
1. Select the weather variable.
2. Press and release 2ND then press UNITS.

The selected variable’s units change. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the
desired units appear.

For example, to change the barometric pressure units, first select barometric pressure by
pressing BAR. Next, press and release 2ND, then press UNITS. Repeating these steps
cycles through the units available for barometric pressure: inches, millimeters, hectoPas-
cals, and millibars.
