The Weather Tendency Indicator - La Crosse Technology WIRELESS WEATHER STATION Instruction Manual

to the varying areas the Weather Station has been
designed for use in. In areas that experience sudden
changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the
Weather Station will be more accurate compared to use
in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time
(for example mostly sunny).
If the Weather Station is moved to another location
significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point
(for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of
a house), remove the batteries and re-insert them after
about 30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will
not mistake the new location as being a possible change
in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change
of altitude. Again, disregard weather forecasts for the
next 12 to 24 hours as this will allow time for operation at
a constant altitude.

THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR

Working together with the weather icons are the weather
tendency indicators (located on the left and right hand
side of the weather icons). When the indicator points
upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and
the weather is expected to improve, but when indicator
points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the
weather is expected to become worse.
Taking this into account, you will see how the weather
has changed and how it is expected to change. For
example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together
with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change
in the weather was when it was sunny (sun icon only).
Therefore, the next change in the weather will be the
cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing
downwards.
Note :
Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a
change in the air pressure, it will remain permanently
visualized on the LCD.
