A/C Power
The design of this Weather Station is to use a/c power (5-volt) as primary power source.
When operating with the a/c power cord the backlight can be on continually.
When operating on a/c power, batteries are optional and not required in the Weather
Station.
The backlight will turn off or operate at high or low intensity at your discretion.
IMPORTANT: When operating on a/c power, to avoid interference, the backlight and USB
charging port will turn off while the Weather Station searches for the WWVB signal. The
backlight will return after the 2-10 minute search (which occurs during the late night or early
morning hours). Then the USB charging port will resume working.
