  • Page 16 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.
  • Page 17: The Weather Tendency Indicator

    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.

At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased.
  • Page 21: Positioning The Weather Station

    POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION The Weather Station comes attached with a removable table stand, which provides the option of table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature can be received from the desired locations. To wall mount: Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out by about 5mm.
  • Page 22: Care And Maintenance

    Note: Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature and humidity readings are receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the transmitter(s) or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception. The mounting surface can, however, affect the transmission range.
