WEATHER FORECAST AND DISPLAY
Animated Weather Forecast Symbols
This weather station is capable of detecting barometric pressure changes, and based on the data
collected, predicting the weather for the next 8 to 12 hours. There are 5 different weather forecast
symbols [A1].
After inserting new batteries or pressing and holding the [B7] key, the weather forecast icon will flash
[A1]. Enter the current weather using the [B6] and [B7] keys to choose among the weather forecast
symbols available.
REMARKS:
ÿ After having completed the settings of your weather station, please discard the readings of the
weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station
to operate at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
ÿ The remote sensor set on Channel 1 is used to help displaying the weather forecast icons (as well
as the trend indicator). Please place it outdoors.
ÿ Absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed regarding weather forecasting.
ÿ The weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the
varying areas the Weather Station has been designed to be used in.
Pressure trend

Indicates that the barometric pressure trend is increasing.
Indicates that the barometric pressure trend is steady.
Indicates the barometric pressure trend is decreasing.

Why study barometric pressure?
Generally, bad weather is associated with low barometric pressure and
fine weather with high pressure. A low pressure area is surrounded by air
of higher pressure. As the higher pressure air cannot move in the low
pressure area, it will move upwards, causing condensation of water in the
air and producing clouds. The opposite is true for high pressure: in a high
pressure area, air of lower pressure will move downwards, warming up the

air and evaporating the water in the air.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY AND ALARM
°C or °F Temperature display:
You can select to display the indoor [A5] and outdoor [A9] temperature in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit
(°F) by pressing the [B7] key.
Temperature Alert Function:
1. Press and hold the [B3] button to set the outdoor temperature alert function.
2. Use the [B6] and [B7] keys to select which temperature alert you wish to set: indoor temperature
alert or outdoor temperature alert (channel 1, 2 or 3).
3. Press [B3] to confirm.
4. Use the [B6] and [B7] keys to set the upper limit of the temperature alarm"
to confirm.
5. Use the [B6] and [B7] keys to set the lower limit "
to confirm.
6. For example, you can set the temperature alarm between 0°C and 35°C. Every time the remote
sensor registers an outdoor temperature lower than 1°C or higher than 34°C, the temperature
alarm will ring and [A9] will blink. It will ring for a few seconds, stop, and ring a few seconds later
until it is turned off.
