FEATURE/``Cool'' Weather Gadgets Make ``Hot''Holiday Gifts; GE Unveils New Line of Wireless Digital Weather Products, Just In Time for the Holidays

November 19, 2002

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2002--Does someone on your list think he's the next Al Roker?

Then GE Home Electric Products, Inc.'s new Wireless Digital Weather Products will make the perfect gift.

This unique line of household weather tools provides up-to-date weather information at a glance. From temperature and humidity readings, forecast, lunar cycles and trend graphs, you can get timely weather readings when and where you want.

The premier offering in the line is GE's new Wireless Weather Station. This state-of-the-art product includes a number of unique feature combinations, including standard options such as temperature, humidity, date and time; as well as unique options like forecast, lunar cycles, barometers and even trend graphs.

The Wireless Digital Weather Station is battery-operated for convenience and gives you the freedom to place a sensor inside or out.

Most people aren't satisfied with the three minutes of weather they receive on the six o'clock news anymore, said Robert Taylor, President, GE Home Electric Products.

The increasing popularity of cable television weather channels and the influx of expensive, hand-held electronic weather devices are proof that consumers want more.

He continued, GE's new line of affordable Wireless Digital Weather Products combines the latest technological advancements and makes it possible for the average consumer to receive the weather information they crave.

Consumers can also choose from a wide range of high-tech Wireless Digital Thermometers that monitor time, as well as indoor and outdoor temperatures.

A transmitter with dual or multi-channel capabilities that displays temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit can be placed inside or outside the home, and has a 100-foot range.
