Notes to hPa sensitivity setting for weather forecasting:
The hPa (Hekto-Pascal) pressure sensitivity can be set to suit
the user’s requirement for weather forecasting from 2 hPa to 4
hPa (see Basic Programming below). For areas that experi-
ence frequent changes in air pressure (which does not neces-
sarily reflect a change in the weather) requires a higher hPa
setting compared to an area where the air pressure is stag-
nant. For example if 3 hPa is selected, then there must be a
fall or rise in air pressure of at least 3 hPa before the weather
station will register this as a change in weather.

The air pressure reading is displayed here. Press the PRES-
SURE key to toggle between relative and absolute air pres-
sure displays.
Notes to Absolute and Relative Air Pressure:
Absolute air pressure provides the display of the true meas-
ured air pressure of the current time and location. This is not
programmable and the absolute air pressure range of the
weather station is from 300 hPa to 1099 hPa (standard air
pressure at an altitude of 9,100 meters is around 300 hPa).
Relative air pressure is the one value that is calculated back
to sea level from the local absolute air pressure and can thus
be taken as a reference for weather condition and weather
development for the entire country. It can be programmed to
represent your local surroundings. Since the relative air
pressure is also the one value given by various newspapers,
TV and radio broadcasting stations in their daily weather
forecasts for their respective locations, users can set the
relative air pressure of the weather station to this value to
represent readings your their area (see Basic Programming
Modes below).
