Use Weather Meter Compass (iOS/WEATHERmeter only)

• You may choose to use the internal compass of your WEATHERmeter or your personal device's magnetometer

Wireless Range (WEATHERmeter only)

• Adjust your range setting to either "Low" or "High"
• Use the high setting if you are going to be taking readings with your WEATHERmeter at a distance
• High range will use more battery power

Background Mode (WEATHERmeter only)

• By default, the application will stop readings in progress and disconnect the WEATHERmeter when it no longer runs in the foreground.
• Enable Background Mode to maintain connection to the WEATHERmeter and continue readings while the app runs in the background.
• Disabling this setting will significantly increase battery life.

Calibrate Compass (WEATHERmeter only)

• The WEATHERmeter compass needs to be calibrated before it can provide accurate readings.
• Every time you travel with your WEATHERmeter you should re-calibrate the internal compass for improved accuracy.
