How To Read The Illustrated Weather Forecast Symbols And The Storm Alarm; How To Read The Carometic Pressure Trend - Oregon Scientific BA112 User Manual

HOW TO READ THE ILLUSTRATED
WEATHER FORECAST SYMBOLS AND THE
STORM ALARM
Your digital Barometer automatically detects the
barometric pressure changes in your area. Based on this
changing pressure, it displays an illustrated weather
symbol indicating the weather forecast. The displayed
weather marks are indicating a forecast 12 to 24 hours
ahead, for a radius of approximately 30-50 km (20 to 30
miles).
If the Barometer detects stormy conditions, the storm
indicator (lightning bolts) will flash and an alarm will
beep. The alarm sound will stop automatically after 1
minute to conserve power. If you're not present when
these alarms begin, the audible beep will sound every 3
minutes as a continued storm warning until the weather
forecast improves.
To stop the sounding storm alarm, press any button. The
storm icon will continue to flash until the weather forecast
improves.

Important:
1. The accuracy of weather forecasting when using
pressure trend alone is about 70 to 75 percent and,
therefore, we cannot be held responsible for any
inconveniences caused by an inaccurate weather
forecast.
2. The weather forecast symbols may not reflect the
current weather condition. The symbols are
forecasting the future.
3. A 'Sunny' forecast covering the night-time reflects
fine clear weather.
HOW TO READ THE CAROMETIC
PRESSURE TREND
The Barometer gives you the pressure trend for the last
hour, indicated by the arrow displayed in the upper left
corner of your display, next to the weather icon. The
weather is improving if this trend (arrow) is rising, or
getting worse if the trend (arrow) is falling. Here's what
it can look like:
