Weather Forecast Icons
The forecast station unit predicts weather condition for the next 12-hours based on the change of
atmospheric pressure. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we cannot be
responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.
INTELLIGENT WEATHER FORECAST
This station learns. Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for barometric calibration. This will ensure an accurate
personal forecast for your location.
As the forecast station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the past forty day
average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the forecast station operates in one location the
more accurate the forecast icons will be.
The icons forecast 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.
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 forecast station
has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny
to rain), the forecast station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is
stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
MIN/MAX Temperature Data
This forecast station features daily minimum and maximum temperatures each day starting at midnight
(12:00 AM). The forecast station automatically resets the min/max temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).

MAX: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button once to view maximum
temperature and humidity values for Indoor and Outdoor data. The word MAX will appear next to the
indoor and outdoor temperature.
MIN: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button twice to view minimum temperature
and humidity values for Indoor or Outdoor data. The word MIN will appear next to the indoor and
outdoor temperature.
Reset Min/Max
Hold the MIN/MAX button for 5 seconds to manually reset each indoor and outdoor minimum and
maximum value. (The forecast station automatically resets the min/max temperatures at midnight: 12:00
AM).

same time.
