Backlight

A/C Adapter
The backlight can show continuously when operating the Wireless Forecast Station with the 5-volt a/c
adapter.
1. HIGH: The backlight is defaulted to HI (brightness) when the a/c adapter is in use.
2. LO: Press and release the LIGHT HI/LO button to dim the brightness of the backlight.
3. Press and release the LIGHT HI/LO button again to return to full strength (HIGH).
Note:
When the Adapter is NOT in use, the High/Low backlight feature is not available.

Press and release the SNOOZE/LIGHT button and the backlight will show for 8 seconds, when operating
on batteries only.
Weather Forecast Icons
The Wireless Forecast Station unit predicts weather condition for the next 12-hours based on the change
of atmospheric pressure. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we cannot be
responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.
THIS STATION LEARNS!
Please allow 3-4 weeks for barometer calibration to generate an accurate forecast.
IMPORTANT:
As the Wireless Forecast Station builds memory, it will compare the current average
pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the Wireless Forecast
Station operates in one location the more accurate the forecast icons will be.
The icons forecast the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as
each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does
not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has
dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.
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 Wireless
Forecast Station has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for
example from sunny to rain), the Wireless Forecast Station will be more accurate compared to use in
areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
