(+ and -) marked inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
NOTE After replacing the batteries, the display will be
turned on for about 3 seconds and then show the
following:
a. Indoor temperature shows the current measurement.
b. Indoor relative humidity shows the current
measurement.
c. Weather forecast shows slightly cloudy (a sun shows
with the cloud indicator).
d. Pressure trend shows steady.

The unit takes about 24 hours to store the barometric
pressure data. Until that time has elapsed, the pressure
trend and weather forecast symbols may not reflect
actual weather forecast for your area.
