Frequently Asked Questions
Did You Miss Something?
Can it be wall mounted?
Yes but It is concave in the back with a slight curvature which really restricts wall mounting.
Also, this particular model is very hard to read from any distance.
Can you switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures?
Yes, go to settings / tools click F until C appears
Can you adjust the pressure?
It is my understanding there is no ‘adjustment’ you can make to the barometer reading. The unit will settle down in the first month to a reading within +/- .01-.02 usually.
You can compare the readings to a National Weather station located near you as a guide of it’s accuracy.
What is the coldest temp it can display?
The temperature range for this model is -40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit; -40 to 70 degrees Celsius for the sensor and the indoor temperature range is 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit; 0 to 50 degrees Celsius.
What size of batteries does it use?
Uses 3 “AA” batteries in base unit and 2 “AA” batteries in outdoor sensor.
Is this atomic time or do you have to set it each time?
It’s atomic time
Does It come with a power cord? and if so how long is the AC adapter cord?
It is 4 feet long
