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.
weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours as this will allow time for operation at a constant altitude. THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendency indicators (located on the left and right hand side of the weather icons). When the indicator points upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND MIN/MAX RECORDS The outdoor temperature and outdoor MIN/MAX records are displayed on the last section of the LCD. Outdoor reception signal icon Outdoor icon Outdoor temperature MAX record MIN record Note: The MIN/MAX outdoor temperature records range from -40ºC to +60ºC with 1ºC resolution. RESETTING THE INDOOR AND OUTDDOR MIN/MAX RECORDS Note: All the MIN/MAX records will be reset at the same time. 1. In normal display mode, press and hold the MIN/MAX RESET key for 3 seconds.
4. Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the 868MHz signal frequency can also cause interference. Note: When the 868MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER: The transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The transmitter can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom of the transmitter. To wall mount: 1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. 2. Clip the remote temperature transmitter onto the bracket.
