1. Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather WS-MOF0831-CTH Gold Dial Cherry Wood
Weather Station with Temperature, Humidity and Quartz Clock. The following is a guide for
preparation, care and operation of your traditional weather station.

2. Care and Cleaning

The solid wood case is finished with a clear lacquer to protect and preserve the appearance. Although
occasional use of a good furniture polish is acceptable, we recommend periodic cleaning with a very
lightly water dampened soft cloth. Be sure to wipe the wood dry with a soft cloth before cleaning.
Avoid use of harsh household cleaners and coarse paper towels, which can damage the lacquer coating
or scratch the bezel or lens. Fingerprints and dirt may be removed the lenses and bezels with a soft
cloth lightly dampened with a mixture of water and mild dishwashing liquid. Be sure to dry the lens
and bezel with a soft cloth after cleaning.
Do not install the weather station outside. The weather station is intended for indoor use only.

3. Hygrometer (Humidity Meter)

3.1 How the hygrometer works

The hygrometer measures the indoor relative humidity. The sensor measures the air moisture by a
sensitive mechanical coil spring that is bonded with a moisture absorbent material.
Hygrometers register the percentage of water vapor present in the air, compared to the maximum
amount that can be present at a given temperature.
The coils in hygrometers respond slowly and while humidity levels change abruptly, it can take an
hour or more for the meter to reach an accurate reading. Remember that the hygrometer is reading
indoor humidity, and is vastly different than outdoor humidity, as reported by the National Weather
Service.
