and install them again—carefully observing
the polarity.
C. LOW-BATTERY & BATTERY
REPLACEMENT FEATURES
When the batteries become weak in the
Weather Temperature Station, a low
battery indicator (shaped as a battery)
appears in the LCD screen between the
Hour display and the Minute display.
When you replace the batteries in the
Weather Temperature Station, the LCD
screen will continue to display its stored
information for 20 seconds. This means
that if you can install the new batteries
within this 20-second time period you
do not need to program the Station
again.

II. TIME
A. THE TIME DISPLAY
The time is displayed vertically (with the
hour displayed above the minutes) rather
than in the conventional horizontal format.
The hour and minute displays are separated
by a flashing dot, which indicates the
seconds. The time is only displayed in the
12h mode, there is no 24h option.
B. SETTING THE TIME
Note: The “SET” and the “+” buttons are
located on the backside of the Weather
Temperature Station, and are labeled
accordingly. If no buttons are pressed
within 10 seconds of pressing the “SET”
button, the Weather Temperature Station
will return to its normal time display.
1. Press the SET button. The hour digit in

8
the HOUR LCD will flash. Press the +
button (repeatedly) until you reach your
desired hour.
2. Press the SET button a second time.
The minute digit in the MINUTE LCD
will flash. Press the + button
(repeatedly) until you reach your
desired minute.
3. Press the SET button again to confirm
settings, and to return to the normal
time display.

I. INDOOR TEMPERATURE
The Weather Temperature Station monitors the
temperature within its immediate proximity, and
displays this temperature in the INDOOR LCD.
The temperature is monitored as soon as the
batteries are installed.
II. WEATHER FORECAST
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to
be 75% accurate. The weather forecast is based
solely upon the change of air pressure over time.
The WS-7044U averages past air-pressure
readings to provide an accurate forecast—
causing a necessity to disregard all weather
forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has
been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to
another (i.e. from one floor of a building to
another). In areas where the weather is not
affected by the change of air pressure, this
feature will be less accurate.
