Frequently Asked Questions - BAR218HG OREGON SCIENTIFIC

How to pair the weather station with my phone?

Enable Bluetooth on your phone. On the station, press the ▲ button to start pairing (the Bluetooth icon flashes). Open the Weather@Home app, go to SETTINGS > STATION > Pair Up. Follow the on-screen instructions. Once connected, the icon stays lit.

What to do if the screen no longer displays outdoor data?

First check the batteries of the outdoor sensor and replace them if necessary. Ensure the sensor is within 30 meters of the main unit. Perform a reset: press RESET on the sensor, then on the station. If the problem persists, force a sensor search by holding down the ▲ and MODE buttons simultaneously.

How to set the time manually?

Hold down the MODE button for a few seconds until the time flashes. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to adjust the values (12/24 format, hours, minutes, year, calendar, month, day, language). Press MODE to confirm each setting.

What do the weather forecast icons mean?

The icons indicate the 12-hour trend: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy or snowy. They are based on atmospheric pressure. Warning messages (HEAT, WIND, STORM, FOG, FROST) may appear in extreme conditions.

How to activate or deactivate the frost alert?

The frost alert is active by default on channel 1 only. To deactivate it, hold down the ▲ and ▼ buttons simultaneously until the alert LED stops flashing. To avoid the alert, you can also switch to channels 2 to 5 by pressing ▲.

How to display the moon phase?

In moon phase mode (press MODE until the moon icon appears), use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to scroll through years from 2001 to 2099. Star icons around the moon appear only from 6 pm to 6 am.

What type of batteries should I use for the outdoor sensor?

Use alkaline batteries for long life. For temperatures below 0 °C, prefer lithium batteries. The sensor requires one AA (UM-3) 1.5 V battery. After replacement, press RESET on the sensor.

How to switch between °C and °F?

On the back of the main unit, use a pen or pin to toggle the °C / °F switch to the desired position. The change is immediate for all temperature displays.

Why does the backlight turn off quickly?

The backlight activates for 5 seconds after pressing the LIGHT button. This duration is fixed and cannot be changed. To turn it on again, press LIGHT again.

How to reset the station to factory settings?

Insert a pin or paperclip into the RESET hole on the back of the main unit. All data and settings will be erased, including pairing. You will need to reconfigure the time and re-pair the sensor.
