7.3 Function buttons:
The function buttons underneath the display offer the following func-
tions:
TEMP.
touch repeatedly to see the following in order:
• CHILL : wind chill (calculated through a combina-
tion of the air temperature and the average wind
velocity).
• DEW : dew point temperature, this is the tempera-
ture at which water vapour is converted into water
(mist, dew or frost); the dew point depends on the
environmental temperature and humidity.
• HEAT: heat index, this is a combination of the
measured temperature and the humidity.
When no extra specication is shown, the actual
temperature will be displayed.

• DAY : rainfall of today, calculated as of midnight
• WEEK : rainfall from the beginning of the week
(Sunday)
• MONTH : rainfall from the beginning of the month
• TOTAL : rainfall from the start of the measure-
ments or from the last reset
• RATE : rainfall in the past hour (this shows the
rainfall in the last 60 minutes and is updated every
10 minutes)
• EVENT : this is the amount of rainfall from the
moment it started raining until now. This value will
be reset after an hour without any rain.
Press and hold the RAIN button for 2 seconds to
