TO EXIT SETTING MODE
To exit the setting mode anytime without saving the changes, user can wait for automatic timeout to return to
normal display.
WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS
Weather icons can be displayed in any of the following combinations:
Sun
For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent
the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the
change has been too slow for the Weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining
cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon)
since the icons are already at their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy
as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not
mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and
the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.
Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow
sufficient time for the weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a
more accurate forecast.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. 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 for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the
weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time
(for example mostly sunny).
If the weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (for
example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), discard the weather forecast for the next 12-24
hours. By doing this, the weather station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air-
pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.
WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR
Working together with the weather icons is the weather tendency indicator (located on the left of the weather
icons). When the arrow points upwards, it means that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected
to improve, but when arrow points downwards, the air pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to
become worse.
Taking this into account, one can see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if
the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the
weather was when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be cloud with
rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.
