WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY THE WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS : There are 3 weather icons in the second section of LCD which can be displayed in any of the following combinations : Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in 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.
Note : Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in the air pressure, it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD. INDOOR TEMPERATURE AND MIN/MAX RECORDS The indoor temperature and indoor MIN/MAX records are displayed on the last section of the LCD. Indoor icon Indoor Temperature MIN record MAX record Note: The MIN/MAX indoor temperature range is -9ºC to + 38ºC with 1°C resolution.
1. In normal display mode, press and hold the MIN/MAX RESET key for 3 seconds. This will reset the indoor and outdoor MIN/MAX temperatures.
