- Forecast Icons

Forecast Icon Shows Incorrect Conditions
This feature indicates what the weather may be like 12 hours into the future and not what is
happening right now. The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The
weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time; creating a necessity
to disregard all weather forecasting for about 24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or
moved from one altitude to another (i.e. from one floor of a building to another floor). In areas
where the weather is not affected by the change of air pressure, this feature will be less accurate.
To adjust forecast settings see section 2.
