Make certain the weather station sensor array is at least 10’ away from the console and within 300’ of the console. If the weather station is too close or two far away, it will not receive a proper signal. Insert two AA batteries into the battery compartment on the back of the display.

5.5 Barometric Pressure Note: The weather station console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level). To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. Thus, your
