13. Press and release the "+"or "-" button to select 0.06, 0.09, or 0.12 inHg (if hPa is
selected, the choices will be 2, 3, or 4). A lower setting will result in a quicker change in
the forecast icon. In other words, if the setting is 0.06 inHg, the forecast icon will change
if the air pressure changes by at least 0.06 inHg within a six-hour period. This is useful,
as certain areas will have a change of air pressure but no change in weather.
