C. WEATHER CENTER
1. Remove the battery cover. To
do this, place a solid object in
the space provided at the lower-
central position of the battery
cover (the cover has white
writing on it) then push up and
pull out on the battery cover.
2. Observe the correct polarity, and
install three C batteries.
3. Replace the battery cover.
THE LCD SCREENS
Immediately after the batteries have been installed, the LCD (Liquid Crystal
Display) Screens will completely light up for a brief moment. There are 6 LCD
Screens, each displaying different information.
Note: After the LCD Screens briefly light up, “267” will appear in the LCD 1,
then the LCD’s will display the default settings. A low-battery warning-icon
appears in LCD 1 beside the “TIME” icon (this should not be on). There is also
a satellite icon that appears in LCD 6, under the “MAX” icon—this icon
informs the user that the Weather Center is receiving signals from the sensors.
Within 12 minutes the Outdoor temperature and humidity should be displayed—
if not, remove batteries from all units and repeat battery installation.
Following is a general display
description of each LCD. Details
concerning the LCD Screens will be
explained during the complete
Programming sections and the Features
& Operations sections.
LCD 1—shows the time.
LCD 2—moon phases and dates.
LCD 3—indoor temperature/humidity.
LCD 4—forecast icons and air pressure.
LCD 5—rainfall/air pressure histories,
and rain quantity.
LCD 6—outdoor temperature/humidity.

PROGRAM MODE
The Program Mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each
function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program
the Weather Center. Complete programming is usually done for the initial
set-up, and will require you to skip step 1 of each programming section
(from section III to XII). The programming mode can be exited at any time
by either pressing the MIN/MAX button, or waiting for the 20-second time-
out to take effect.
**Important note: Due to a programming error, the WS-7095U will not
properly recognize the dates March 1 or 2. When the date switches from
February 28 (February 29 in leap years), the unit will reset all information to
the default values. Any attempt to set this unit to March 1 or 2 will give the same
result. To prevent this, set the unit to March 3 on February 28 or sooner. Once
the actual date is March 3, you may then reset it. As of this printing, no software
changes are scheduled, and we apologize for that. This product is very
specialized, and volumes do not allow us to easily change the software. We
appreciate your business, and strive to maintain our quality of products. We
hope that you will find this unit has enough good features to help you overlook
the missed programming. Feel free to call or e-mail us with any further
questions.

immediately in temperature and rainfall measurement readings
found in other LCD screens.
4. Press the SET button to confirm, and to advance to set the Weather
Forecast Sensitivity.
IX. WEATHER FORECAST SENSITIVITY SETTING
Note: A higher hPa (Hekto Pascal) setting decreases the forecasting
sensitivity of the unit, this feature is available for persons living in areas
where air pressure changes are significant. (not necessarily related to a
change of weather). A lower hPa setting is available for areas with a
more constant air pressure. This designates that it takes 2 hPa of
pressure change to change the forecast icon. Note that 1 hPa change =
0.03 inHg (Inch Column of Mercury) change. 1 hPa= 1 mb (millibar).
The hPa options that appear in LCD 4 are “2” hPa= 0.06 inHg, “3”
hPa= 0.09 inHg, and “4” hPa= 0.12 inHg.
1. Press the SET button eleven times to reach the Weather Forecast
Sensitivity setting mode.
2. The default sensitivity level of “3” will flash in LCD 4.
3. Press the CH/+ button to select a weather forecast sensitivity level
(2 through 4).
4. Press the SET button to confirm, and to advance to the Relative or
Absolute display setting.

9
X. DISPLAYING RELATIVE hPa/inHg OR ABSOLUTE hPa/inHg
Note: Air pressure can be displayed in four different measures:
Relative hPa/inHg and Absolute hPa/inHg. Absolute settings give a true
and real-time air pressure reading (at user’s location) that cannot be
manually calibrated. Relative air pressure is measured in relation to sea
level and is the standard meteorological form of measure. Relative air
pressure settings must be manually programmed to suit the users needs.
Relative air pressure can be found from local weather services. Absolute
air pressure decreases by about 0.01 inHg for every 10 feet in altitude.
In higher altitudes (above 6,500 feet), this effect is less noticeable. The
WS-7095U will measure absolute pressure reliably up to 7,500 feet.
There is no limit for relative air pressure since the user sets it.
1. Press the SET button twelve times to reach Relative or Absolute
Display setting mode.
2. The default “rel 29.91 inHg” will flash in LCD 4. Press the CH/+
button to toggle through “abs --.-- inHg”, “rel 1012.55 hPa”,
“abs --.-- hPa”.
3. Press the SET button to confirm, and to advance to the next setting
mode. The next setting mode depends on which was chosen,
Absolute or Relative. If Absolute is displayed, the next setting
mode will be to set the Bar Graph Display. If Relative is
displayed, the next setting mode will be to Manually set the
Relative Air Pressure.

10
XI. MANUALLY SETTING THE RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
1. Press the SET button thirteen times to enter the Manual Setting of
the Relative Air Pressure mode.
2. The air pressure digits in LCD 4 will flash. Use the CH/+ button
to set the appropriate Relative Air Pressure (check local weather
service).
3. Press the SET button to confirm, and to advance to select the Bar
Graph Display.
XII. SELECTING BAR GRAPH DISPLAY
Note: LCD 5 can display the History Bar Graph in 3 different ways. 1) It
can show the Rain History only, 2) it can show the Air Pressure History
only, or 3) it can alternate between the Rain History and the Air Pressure
History (the default setting).
1. Press the SET button fourteen times to enter the Bar Graph Display
Setting.
2. The bar graph in LCD 5 will flash, alternating between the
“RAIN” history and the “PRESSURE” history.
3. Using the CH/+ button select the Bar Graph Display to be shown
in LCD 5.
4. Press the SET button to confirm, and to exit the program mode.
