• Hold the [+] or [-] buttons to adjust values quickly.
• Press the [MODE] button after setting the last item to confirm and return to normal mode.
• In 12-hour format, "PM" displayed before the hours indicates post meridiem (afternoon/evening).

F.Y.I.: If no operation is performed for 20 seconds, the device will automatically return to normal time mode.

Weather Forecasting Function

Please consider your local weather forecasting service's predictions along with your weather station's forecast. In case of discrepancies, the local service's information is authoritative.

The weather forecast is calculated based on barometric pressure fluctuations and may differ from actual weather conditions.

The weather station displays the following weather symbols, indicating predicted weather changes over the next 8 hours:

• Sunny: [Sun icon]
• Partly Cloudy: [Sun behind cloud icon]
• Cloudy: [Cloud icon]
• Rainy: [Cloud with rain icon]

Trend Display

• Barometric pressure is rising.
• Barometric pressure is falling.
• Barometric pressure is relatively stable.

Wireless Charging

• Place a QI-compatible mobile device on the wireless charging center location (W). The [red icon] (F) will light up.
• During normal charging, the [red icon] (F) remains on. It disappears when charging is complete (currently supported by Samsung and some iPhone models).
• The [red icon] (F) flashes if metal or similar foreign objects are detected.
