Weather Forecast Icons

The weather 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.
Six animated forecast icons provide a visual image of the weather to come.
Note: The "snowy" icon appears when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and the forecast is rainy or stormy.

THIS STATION LEARNS
The weather station calibrates barometric pressure based on its location over a period of time to
generate an accurate, personal forecast. Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for barometer calibration.
IMPORTANT: As the weather station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the past
forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the weather 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 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).
