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 indoor weather station has been designed for use in. In areas

that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the

indoor 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 indoor 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), disregard the weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. By doing

this the indoor 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 indicators (located

on the upper left and right 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.

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.

Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it

will remain permanently visualized on the LCD.
