User manual OREGON SCIENTIFIC BAR938HG

[. . . ] Insert four UM3 or AA-size batteries. - Weak - No signal - Receiving 3. Replace the batteries when the BATT indicator on the weather forecast window lights up. HOW TO SET THE CLOCK MANUALLY When the current time is displayed, press MODE for three seconds. If 12-hour clock format is selected, the time will be displayed with the AM or PM indicator. Holding down either button will increase or decrease the value rapidly. [. . . ] (See HOW TO SET THE CALENDAR for details. ) For users staying at a higher altitude, such as in the mountain area, sea level barometric pressure applies. In this case, select -100 to 2500 meters, whichever appropriate, when entering the altitude compensation reading. ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION The BAR938HG is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar clock once it is brought within range of the Frankfurt DCF77 radio signal. When the BAR938HG is within range, its radio-control mechanism will override all manual settings. When the unit is receiving radio signal, the RADIO RECEPTION signal will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes about two to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal. When the reception is complete, the RADIO RECEPTION signal will stop blinking. The strength of the reception for the last full hour will be indicated. For better reception, place the clock away from metal objects and electrical appliances to minimize interference. Should you wish to deactivate the RF controlled function, press MODE and DOWN( ) button simultaneously. To reactivate the RF control function, press MODE and UP( simultaneously. ) HOW TO SET THE CALENDAR MANUALLY · When the calendar is displayed, press MODE for three seconds. The altitude compensation reading on the atmospheric pressure window will flash. If the temperature goes above or below that, the display will show flashing "70" or "-50". WEATHER FORECAST The unit is capable of detecting atmospheric pressure changes, and basing on the data collected, can predict the weather for the forthcoming 12 to 24 hours. The effective range covers an area of 30 to 50 km. Indicator displays on the unit Forecast Sunny Slightly Cloudy Cloudy Rainy 4 NOTE: 1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather forecast is about 70 to 75%, and therefore, cannot be held responsible for any inconveniences so caused by an inaccurate one. The "Sunny" icon, when applies to night time, implies clear weather. HOW TO USE AND SCAN THE MOON PHASE The BAR938HG is equipped with a moon phase display and scanner with which eight moon phases are displayed on the screen from new moon to waning crescent. The eight phases are: INDOOR RELATIVE HUMIDITY The indoor relative humidity is automatically detected. Like temperature, the maximum and minimum relative humidity will be stored in memory. Use the MEMORY button to rotate through the maximum, minimum and current relative humidity. If you press MEMORY now, the maximum and minimum relative humidity will have the same values as the current one until different readings are recorded. New Moon Waxing Crescent First Quarter Waxing Gibbous Waning Crescent Last Quarter Waning Gibbous Full Moon To check the moon phase for a particular day, press the UP or DOWN button once. You can go back in time or travel to the future, any day between the hundred years from 1990 to 2089. The unit will return to the last display mode when the UP and DOWN buttons are left idle for 15 seconds. COMFORT LEVEL The comfort level is based on the recorded relative humidity. An indicator will be displayed to show if the level is comfortable, wet or dry. ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE The current atmospheric pressure is shown on the atmospheric pressure window. [. . . ] Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user's instructions. Always read the user's instructions thoroughly before operating the unit. · Relative Humidity Measurement Indoor relative humidity measurement ranging from 25%RH to 95%RH · Barometric Pressure Measurement Pressure measuring range Pressure sampling cycle : 795 to 1050 mb/ hPa (23. 48 to 31. 01 inHg) : 15 minutes TIME ZONE AND OFFSET TABLE · Moon Phase Functions Moon Phase Scanner Range : From 1990 to 2089 · Radio Controlled Clock - Maintime set and synchronized by Radio Signal DCF77 for Continental/ Central Europe - user selectable 12 or 24h display with hh : mm ss - Date Format : Day-Month-Year or Month-Day-Year - Day of week selectable in 5 language (E, F, D, I, Sp ) - 2-minute crescendo alarm · Power Main unit Remote sensing unit : use 4 pcs UM-3 or "AA" 1. 5V alkaline battery : use 2 pcs UM-4 or "AAA" 1. 5V alkaline battery SPECIFICATIONS · Temperature Measurement Main unit Indoor Temperature measurement Displayed IN temperature range : -50. 0°C to +70. 0°C (-58. 0°F to 158. 0°F) Proposed operating range : -5. 0°C to +50. 0°C (23. 0°F to 122. 0°F) 6 · Weight Main unit Remote sensing unit : 306 gm : 100 gm · Dimension Main unit Remote sensing unit : 182(L) x 133(W) x 28(T) mm : 92(L) x 60(W) x 21(T) mm NOTE ON COMPLIANCE This product complies to standards and specifications of BZT, FCC and article number 334 of PTT.
