The Cooling and Heating Degree Day Bases are used to determine the Cooling
Degree Day Daily Total and Heating Degree Day Daily Total, which display as
part of the Weather Center when the outside temperature variable is selected.
See “Inside and Outside Temperature” on page 18 for more information.
A base setting for both the Cooling and Heating Degree Day temperature is not
set at the factory, allowing you to choose. A base of 65°F (15°C) is suitable for
most applications.
Set your cooling degree day base:
1. Press 2ND and SET. The value of
65° appears. Use the < and > keys
to select a segment of the value.
2. Press the + and - keys to adjust the
value of the selected segment.
3. Press 2ND and UNITS to change
the temperature setting between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
4. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
The Heating Degree Day Base displays:
To set your heating degree day
base, follow steps 1 through 4
above.
To turn the degree day function off,
press 2ND and then clear. The value
changes to dashes.
Note: If a base temperature is displayed, degree day data is being accumulated. If the value
shows dashes, the degree day function is off and will not appear in the Weather Center.
Screens 17 and 18: Commentary and Key Beep
Commentary is the extra information and comments on current weather
conditions, such as lunar and solar eclipses, meteor showers and other
information, that displays on the console in the Weather Center.
Key Beep is a sound that indicates a key has been pressed.
These functions can be turned off or on.
1. Press the + and - keys to toggle
the setting to OFF or ON.

screen.
Screen 19: Baud Rate
(Optional)
The Baud Rate screen displays only if a WeatherLink data logger is installed in
the console. The console uses a serial, USB, or Ethernet port to communicate
with a computer. If you are connecting the console directly to your computer
via USB or Ethernet connection, leave the setting at 19200, the highest rate for
the port.
