Set A Weather Clock

Weather clocks receive forecasts for 152 locations in the United States. The forecast is beamed from a broadcaster, and you can check coverage for your location using their website (see below). The signal used in weather clocks is the same data seen in domestic refrigerator panel read-outs and stand-alone units. Coverage can periodically be affected by signal availability and strength.








Instructions


1. Select your location on the clock. Press the left and right button on the top of the unit until your location shows on the read-out. The locations are listed alphabetically by state and then by city.


2. Press the "Favorites" button when your location shows on the screen. The location will be stored.


3. Open the battery cover. Adjust the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius as required. Use a small pointed object to press the button marked "F/C" inside the battery compartment.


4. Change the default time zone. Repeatedly press the time zone button until your time zone shows. The clock will display the correct time for your time zone.








5. Close the battery compartment cover and look at the screen. The time and four days of weather forecasts will show. The icons are pretty self-explanatory. You should be able to easily identify sun, rain and other conditions. The high and low temperature forecast will also display, and a "feels like" current reading will show along with the actual temperature and the actual conditions.
