“MAX” for maximum wind speed and “AVG” for average wind
speed. Press the “Mode” button to confirm your choice.
The setting will be stored in your unit even after turning it off.
The MAX wind speed will indicate the highest wind speed
recorded once it is set unless you reset to another measurement
unit. The AVG wind speed will indicate the last 8 sample periods
or 4 seconds of running average.
wWind Display on the LCD – When the impeller (fan/vane)
turns, the LCD will instantly display the wind speed and
temperature per the settings you chose along with the
Beaufort scale.
wSet the Temperature Unit – On the rear of the unit is a
hidden switch key with “C/F” noted below it. Use a small pin
(or other thin object) to press the key to convert the
temperature reading between “C” and “F”.
wWind Chill – When temperature drops below 32° F (0° C),
the wind icon “WIND CHILL” will be indicated on the LCD.
