Weather forecasts

When the ZOLEO App is connected to your ZOLEO communicator, you can request a weather
forecast for your current location by tapping the Weather tab at the bottom of the screen. (If the
Weather tab is not visible, you are not connected to your ZOLEO communicator.)
An attempt is made to send the request over the internet. If there is no internet coverage, the
request will be sent via satellite.
NOTE: If the weather request is sent via satellite, the forecast may take several minutes to arrive.
