General Troubleshooting Problem:.It.is.raining.outside,.but.the.unit’s.forecast.shows.the.sunny.icon. Solution:.The.unit.measures.barometric.pressure.changes.and.gives.forecasts.based. on.up.or.down.trends.over.the.next.six.hours,.not.what.is.going.on.at.that.exact. time..If.the.unit.indicates.it.is.sunny,.but.it.is.raining.outside,.this.means.the.weather. will.improve.over.the.next.six.hours. Problem:.The.weather.icon.has.been.incorrect.for.an.extended.period.of.time. Solution:.The.unit.may.have.been.set.during.a.period.of.high.or.low.barometric. pressure,.so.the.unit’s.barometric.point.of.reference.is.incorrect..Wait.until.a.partly. cloudy.day.and.re-sync.the.remote.unit.with.the.main.unit..(See.“Synchronization. of.Remote.Unit.&.Main.Unit”.section.).The.unit.will.acclimate.to.the.correct.level. of.barometric.pressure. Problem:.The.radio.does.not.work. Solution:.Make.sure.that.the.10.5V.adapter.is.properly.connected.to.the.unit.and. the.wall.outlet. Problem:.The.main.unit’s.LCD.panel.is.faint.or.hard.to.read. Solution:.Adjust.the.brightness.of.LCD.backlight.until.the.readout.is.clear.from.. your.viewpoint. Problem:.The.outdoor.temperature.reading.is.extremely.high.when.the.temperature. is.actually.much.colder.
