The main unit has a built-in barometer. The local weather forecast and weather

tendency are predicted using the rate of change in atmospheric pressure based

upon a norm. When you first turn on the unit, it takes 48 hours for the unit to

sense and calculate the norm or the middle pressure level. After this time, the unit

shows weather tendencies, but increases or decreases in barometric pressure. The

icon on the unit shows what the weather tendency will be over the next six hours.

Weather tendency is indicated by and up or down forecast arrow. (See table below.)

1. The up arrow

This normally means the weather is going to improve.

2. The down arrow

pressure. This means the weather is going to get worse.

Note: If the unit is continually giving wrong forecasts, it can be corrected by

re-syncing the unit on a partly cloudy day. This allows the barometer to find the

right barometric pressure level without being too high or low.

3. The forecast icon

change of atmospheric pressure. This means the weather will remain unchanged.

The current weather condition is displayed using one of five animated icons:

Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy or Stormy. (See table below.) The Stormy icon

only appears when a sudden and serious drop in atmospheric pressure is detected.
