  • Page 22 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 Projection 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.

    If the 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), remove the batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the 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.
  • Page 24 weather was when it was sunny (the sunny icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be the cloudy 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.
