The Beaufort scale below is an international scale of wind velocities from 0 (calm) to 12 (Hurricane force).
The wind speed level chart on display provides a quick reference on the current wind condition. The
background color of the compass changes according to the wind speed.
UV INDEX AND LIGHT INTENSITY
This section displays a chart for UV index and light intensity.
SUNRISE/SUNSET & MOON RISE/MOON SET TIME
The console indicates your location’s sunrise/sunset & moon rise/moon set times, which is based on time
zone, latitude, and longitude you entered. If Daylight Saving is set to AUTO, the times will adjust an hour
forward automatically for daylight saving.
MULTI-CHANNEL AND SCROLL MODE FOR OPTIONAL SENSORS
Users can add up to seven (7) additional hygro-thermo sensors to display console. While on the home
screen, press the CHANNEL button to switch between indoor and channels 1 to 7. To go through
the channels every ve (5) seconds automatically press and hold the CHANNEL button for two (2)
seconds until the icon appears on screen.

UVI Rating Comment
0-2 Low A UV Index reading of 0 to 2 means low danger from the sun's UV rays for the average person.
3-5 Medium A UV Index reading of 3 to 5 means moderate risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.
6-7 High A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 means high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Protection
against skin and eye damage is needed.
8-10 Very High A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 means very high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.
Take extra precautions because unprotected skin and eyes will be damaged and can burn quickly.
11-16 Extreme A UV Index reading of 11 or more means extreme risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.
Take all precautions because unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes.
