Use Weather Meter Compass (iOS/WEATHERmeter only)

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.
