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 forecast.
2. The weather forecast is meant for the next 12 to 24 hours. It may
not necessarily reflect the current situation.
3. The “Sunny” icon, when applies to night time, implies clear
weather.
INDOOR RELATIVE HUMIDITY
The indoor relative humidity is automatically detected. The reading
is displayed in the relative humidity window.
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. The
respective MAX and MIN indicator will be displayed.
To clear the memory, hold down MEMORY for three seconds. The
maximum and minimum temperatures will be erased. 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.
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. If you need to adjust the altitude compensation,
follow the procedure set in HOW TO SET THE
CALENDAR MANUALLY.
The atmospheric pressure can be displayed in mb/hPa or inHg. The
unit is selected on the atmospheric pressure slide switch.
If you want to know the pressure history for a particular hour during
the past 24 hours, press the HISTORY button. Each press on the
button will go back by an hour. Holding down the button will
increase the value rapidly.
The recorded atmospheric changes for the past 24 hours are displayed
in a bar chart above the atmospheric pressure window.
HOW TO USE AND SCAN
THE MOON PHASE
The BAR928 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 one falls on the current day will flash
on the screen.
If it is a full moon or new moon day, the icon will flash faster.
The eight phases are:
To check the moon phase for a particular day, press the UP or
DOWN button once. The clock will enter moon phase scanning
mode.
Use the UP or DOWN button to locate the date you want to check.
The calendar will be day-driven in this mode.
You can go back in time or travel to the future, any day between the
years 1990 to 2089. The corresponding moon phase will appear
immediately on the screen.
The unit will return to the last display mode when the UP and
DOWN buttons are left idle for 15 seconds.
HOW TO WALL MOUNT OR USE
THE TABLE STAND
The unit can be wall-mounted using its recessed screw holes or place
on a flat surface using its table and control stand. To use the stand,
lay the control panel on a flat surface. Then adjust the angle of the
display panel for best display and support.
