Rainfall will show the daily on the main display and the accumulative up to that day on the four (4) smaller digits. Indoor temperature, Outdoor Humidity, Rainfall, seasonal, Wind, Indoor temperature and indoor humidity will display seven (7) day history. Pressing the HISTORY button for the eight times will bring the full display on, going back to normal operation. Starting the history sequence and leaving idle the HISTORY button for more than 15 seconds, will terminate the HISTORY sequence and go back into normal operation. 7.2.21 Pressure has a different history sequence. All segments should unlit, same as with the other parameters, but in the bottom LCD instead of the Date showing the daily regression (JUN 10 to JUN 9) , it would be the Time the one that will lid and do an hourly regression (12.30pm to 11.30pm). The hourly regression will include 12 hours and then go back to the normal operation. Idle activity on the HISTORY button for more than 15 seconds will return device to normal operation. 删除的内容: 01

If no signal is received, the Power requirements (Rev MR) Requirement #10 Description Power/ battery Weather Station indoor unit should run without changing batteries for 24 months Customers would rather increase the number of batteries rather than change the batteries more frequently. Therefore, the requirement is to minimize the frequency of changing batteries by leveraging the space on the back of the device for the amount of batteries. The ideal is to use 3AA batteries for the indoor unit. Backlight (Rev MR) 1) Backlight will be activated by a button that will be clearly marked with a bulb icon. 2) When user selects the backlight, the LED illumination should last 8 seconds before turning off again. Requirement #11 Description Backlight LED Backlight A good backlight (amber) diffused evenly, with no hot spots, over all three LCD areas.
