USING THE THERMOMETER

The temperature display can show the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or
Centigrade.

To select either Fahrenheit or Centigrade, remove the batteries from the
battery compartment (if necessary) and slide the switch inside the
compartment to (F) or (C).  The selection appears on the display.

READING THE BAROMETER

Barometric pressure changes for the past 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours display
on the five bars.  The rightmost bar (-OH) indicates the current reading.

The scale on the right side of the display measures the barometric pressure
in millibars (mB).  The 0 in the middle means equal to the present
pressure; +2 / -2 means the past pressure is higher / lower than the
present one by 2 mB, +4 / -4 means the past pressure is higher / lower than
the present one by 4mB, and so on.

These measurements show the pressure trend for the past 24 hours.
Generally, an upward trend means the weather will be clear, while
a downward trend means the possibility of rain or snow.

Your barometer also displays the following forecast illustrations,
according to its stored pressure readings.

    Sunny

    Slightly Cloudy

    Cloudy

    Rainy

NOTES:  The barometer most accurately forecasts the weather when it remains
        at the same altitude for at least 24 continuous hours.  If you move
        the barometer between different altitudes during that time (for 
        example, from the mountains to low, flat land), its readings are
        not correct.

        The barometer's forecasting accuracy is about  70-75%.  It is for
        your reference only, and RadioShack cannot be held responsible for
        any difficulties resulting from its use as a weather-forecasting
        device.
