Your weather station has a built-in barometric sensor which measures the change of the air pressure over time. Your weather station takes around 12 hours to gather and average air- pressure readings to provide a weather forecast for next 12 hours.GB 7 WEATHER ICONS There are six possible types of weather icons that will be displayed: SUNNY

SUNNY AND CLOUDY (PARTLY SUNNY)

Frost Alert Icon appears when outdoor temperature is below +3°C

When the arrow appears, the air pressure is increasing, the weather is expected to improve. When the arrow appears, the air pressure is decreasing, the weather is expected to become worse. When the arrow appears, the air pressure change is stable. Remarks: Moving your weather station from one floor of a building to another floor will affect the accuracy of your weather station, which should operate at the same altitude all the time. If you move it to a new location, it will take 12 hours to get stable and accurate again. Our weather station provides next 12 hours weather forecast. It may not match with the current weather condition outside. TO READ MAXIMUM-MINUMUM IN-OUT TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITIES Press MEM once to view the maximum indoor-MAX the display.
