Heat Index/Dew Point  
The HEAT/DEW button toggles between Heat Index, Dew Point, and Mold Risk.  
Each feature will display for 10 seconds then return to default display if the button  
is not pressed again.  
Heat Index  
Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. It is the apparent temperature of  
how hot it feels to a human being. As humidity increases, the body is unable to cool  
effectively; therefore, the temperature will feel warmer.  
View Heat Index: From a normal display, press the HEAT/DEW button once and Heat  
Index will show in place of the outdoor temperature.  
Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the outdoor  
temperature is above 80 °F (26.7°C).  
Dew Point Temperature  
Dew Point Temperature is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which the  
air has to cool in order to create condensation. The higher the dew points, the higher the  
moisture content of the air at a given temperature.  
View Dew Point Temperature: From a normal display, press the HEAT/DEW button  
twice and Dew Point will show place of the outdoor temperature.  
Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.  
Temperature/Humidity Trend indicators  
The indoor and outdoor temperature/humidity trend indicators will update every 30  
minutes or less. These trends represent temperature changes over the past three hours.  
Example: At 1:00pm, the arrow indicates the change in temperature since 10:00am. At  
1:30pm, the arrow will indicate the temperature change since 10:30am.  
Temperature has risen in the past 3 hours.  
Humidity has risen in the past 3 hours.  
Temperature has not changed in the past 3 hours.  
Humidity has not changed in the past 3 hours.  
Temperature has fallen in the past 3 hours.  
Humidity has fallen in the past 3 hours.  
Search for Outdoor Sensor  
Hold the HEAT/DEW button to search for the outdoor sensor.  
The strength signal icon will animate until the sensor signal is received or for  
3 minutes if no signal available.

MIN/MAX (View, Reset)  
The Weather station provides the daily minimum and maximum temperatures each day  
starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The Weather station automatically resets the min/max  
temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).  
View MIN data: Press and release the button to view the minimum  
Indoor and Outdoor Temperatures.  
Reset MIN data: Hold the button for five seconds and the Indoor and  
Outdoor Minimum Temperatures will be reset.  
View MAX data: Press and release the button to view the maximum Indoor and  
Outdoor Temperatures.  
Reset MAX data: Hold the button for five seconds and the Indoor and all Outdoor  
Maximum Temperatures will be reset.  
Note: The temperature areas will show dashes briefly then return to current  
temperatures.  
Animated Color Forecast Icons  
Animated forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather  
conditions for the next 12-hours with 70-75% accuracy.  
INTELLIGENT WEATHER FORECAST  
This station learns; please allow 3 to 4 weeks for barometric calibration. This will ensure  
an accurate personal forecast for your location.  
The Weather station samples the barometric pressure every twelve minutes.  
These samples are averaged hourly and daily then stored in nonvolatile memory.  
The three hour pressure icon change is based off of the last four average hourly  
readings.  
IMPORTANT: As the Weather station builds memory, it will compare the current  
average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The  
longer the Weather station operates in one location, the more accurate the forecast icons  
will be.  
The icons forecast the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily  
sunny or rainy as each icon indicates.

Forecast Tendency Indicators (Up, Right, Down Arrows)  
Working with the forecast icons, the tendency indicators let you know if the weather is  
improving, steady or worsening.  
Steady Pressure Weather  
Rising Pressure Weather  
is Expected to Improve  
Falling Pressure Weather  
is Expected to Stay the  
Same  
is Expected to Worsen  
24 Hour Pressure History Graph/Tendency Arrows  
The bar chart indicates the air pressure history trend over  
the last 24 hours.  
The columns represent the pressure change (”InHg” or “hPa”)  
readings at specific times.  
The “0” is equal to the current pressure and each bar  
represents how past pressure was compared to the current  
pressure.  
Read the graph from left to right. If the bars are rising, it  
means that the weather is getting better due to the increase  
of air pressure.  
If the bars go down, it means the air pressure has dropped and the weather is  
expected to get worse from the present time.  
Moon Phase (based on lunar calendar)  
New Moon occurs when the moon is between the earth and sun so the illuminated  
portion of the moon is on the back side facing the sun and we cannot see it. After a  
new moon, the illuminated (visible) portion will increase or wax until the full moon  
occurs.  
Full Moon occurs when the earth, moon and sun are in approximate alignment, with  
the moon and the sun on opposite sides of the earth. The illuminated portion of the  
moon faces the earth, giving us complete visibility of one side of the entire moon.  
After a full moon, the illuminated portion will decrease or wane until the new moon  
occurs.  
Model: 308-1425B

First Quarter and Last Quarter moons occur when the moon is at a 90 degree  
angle to the earth and sun. So we see half of the moon illuminated and half is in  
shadow.  
Waxing means growing or expanding illumination and happens after a new moon.  
Waning means decreasing illumination and occurs after a full moon.  
Crescent refers to the moon being less than half illuminated. Crescents can be  
waning or waxing.  
Gibbous describes a moon phase when more than half is illuminated. Gibbous can be  
waxing or waning.
