b) Getting started with base station
Please note:
Once the batteries are inserted, some settings are to be carried out afterwards.
It is imperative that you obtain the level of altitude of the place where you live, so
that the air pressure reading can be calculated and displayed correctly.
You can find out the altitude of your place of residence from, eg your local
government or city council but also on maps or possibly from the Internet.
A meter precise setting is not necessary (since there is not the same altitude
everywhere in one place), an approximation of 10-20m is usually sufficient.
If you don't carry out the settings when you first insert the batteries, you have
to remove the batteries briefly before you reactivate the setting. However, doing
this, all data so far will get lost (air pressure trend, min-/max- values etc.).
The standard factory setting is: Air pressure in hPa/mBar, display of altitude in
meters, altitude 10m. This is copied if no button is pressed within 60 seconds.
• Open the battery compartment on the back of the base station.
• Insert two size AA batteries of the same type with correct polarity (observe plus/+ and minus/
-) into the battery compartment. There is a corresponding illustration in the battery
compartment.
• Close the battery compartment again.
• Once the batteries are inserted, all available display elements appear briefly. Then the unit
for air pressure "hPa/mBar" on the top right, flashes on the display.
With the " " and " " buttons on the back of the base station the desired air pressure unit
can be selected ("InHg" and "hPa/mBar").
Confirm the selection with the "UNIT" button (also on the back of the base station).
• "0" will appear on the display and behind it the flashing altitude unit "meter" or "feet".
With the " " and " " button on the back of the base station you can choose between "meter"
and "feet".
Confirm the selection by pressing the "UNIT" button.
