Attractive styling and cutting-edge technology make this wireless weather station stand out from the rest. Rounded edges and a sliding panel that conceals the controls give it a softer, more streamlined look than similar units, while a remarkably complete feature set satisfies the weather geek within. A remote wireless sensor measures temperature and humidity from up to 100 feet away. Purchase additional sensors to monitor temperature and humidity in up to three remote locations at once, including at the main unit. A multi-channel barometer tracks changing air pressure to predict the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours, using one of four graphic icons (Sunny, Cloudy, Partly Cloudy, or Rainy) to indicate the forecast. The time function automatically synchronizes with the US Atomic Clock, providing accurate timekeeping that never needs adjustment--even for Daylight Savings Time. Other features include month/date display, calendar, crescendo alarm with snooze function, and moon phase indicator. The unit provides trend information (rising, stead or falling) for pressure, humidity, and temperature, plus stores minimum and maximum temperature and humidity readings until reset. Its six-line, four-inch-tall LCD display has an electro-luminescent backlight for easy viewing day or night. Measuring 6-1/5 inches tall by 5-1/2 inches wide, this weather station looks stylish whether it’s mounted on the wall or placed on a desk via its detachable stand. The main unit operates on three AA alkaline batteries, while the remote sensor requires two AAA alkaline batteries. --Mary Park |
