WEATHER FORECAST ICONS
The forecast station predicts weather condition of the next 12-hours
based on the change of atmospheric pressure with 70-75% accuracy.
Note: As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we
are not responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.
The forecast station samples the barometric pressure every twelve
minutes. These samples are averaged hourly and daily then stored in
nonvolatile memory. The three hour pressure icon change is based off of
the last four average hourly readings.
THIS STATION LEARNS
will
The forecast station calibrates barometric pressure based on its
location over a period of time to generate an accurate, personal
forecast. Please allow 3 to 4 days for barometer calibration.
IMPORTANT: As the forecast station builds memory, it will compare the
current average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for
increased accuracy. The longer the forecast station operates in one
location the more accurate the forecast icons will be.

POSITION THE FORECAST STATION
Choose a location for the forecast station that is within range
(300 feet, 90 meters) of the outdoor transmitter. The forecast
station has a built in base stand to sit on a table or desk.
• Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as
cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions,
microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which can
prevent signal reception.
• Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall.
• Best reception is achieved when the front or the back of the
forecast station is facing the outdoor transmitter. This allows a larger
portion of the antenna to receive a signal.
POSITION THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
Once the forecast station shows the outdoor temperature/humidity,
place it and the transmitter in the desired locations and wait
approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to
ensure that there is proper reception. The transmitter should be
mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6 feet from the
ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The transmitter
