simple, onetime setup steps. The rst is to set your current, or “home”
location, as well as (at your option) up to four additional “Favorite”
locations (allowing you to quickly check the weather forecast for a
vacation or business trip destination, a friend’s or relative’s hometown,
etc), using the ve location boxes at the top of the Weather FXi
software screen. Move your cursor into the rst (far left) location box,
then move the cursor down to the “Edit Location” button that pops up
below it (Fig. 3)-click on this, and the main weather data screen will
change to the Location Settings window (Fig. 4). Normally you should
set your current location or “home city” in the rst location box (still
highlighted in yellow at the top). Use the drop down arrows to select
your Continent rst, then your Country, Region or State, and nally
your City from the lists that appear when the arrows are clicked. Once
you have made the four settings to dene your location, click “Save”
(if you get a “Cannot connect to server...” message, wait a minute and try
clicking “Save” again). The name of your location should appear in the
rst box now, and you are automatically returned to the main weather
data screen. If you wish, go ahead and set up additional cities in any
or all of the other four location boxes now, using the same procedure
you used to set your home location, beginning by clicking on the next
blank or “empty” location box, clicking Edit Location and then setting
it with the four drop down boxes.
After you have nished setting up one or more locations, the only
other setup step is to set your preferred units (English or Metric) for
temperature, wind speed, and time. Click “Settings” at the top of the
screen (just right of the Weather FXi logo), and the General Settings
window will replace the main weather data screen (Fig. 5). Use the
“Time oset” drop down if necessary (due to changes in start/end
dates for daylight savings time, time zone boundaries, etc). Then select
your preferences for how other types of data will be displayed using
the remaining drop downs for temperature units, etc. When nished,
click “Save” to store these settings and return to the main screen (Fig.
6). The Weather FXi application is now setup and ready to use.
