Q: Why do the cloud symbols not change or only change very rarely?

That's completely normal! The cloud symbols on your TFA Horizon 35.1155.01 station do not represent the current weather, but a weather forecast for 12-24 hours based on atmospheric pressure trends. Here’s why they change infrequently: They are based on atmospheric pressure trends , not on real-time conditions They only change when the weather pattern evolves - and this evolution is often slow and gradual During stable weather conditions, the same symbol may be displayed for several hours or even days - this is normal and not a defect The station displays five different symbols: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, and very rainy. A snowflake appears if rain is expected and the outside temperature drops below 0°C. Your device is functioning correctly. The symbols represent a general trend, not a constant update of the current weather.

Question 3

How to set the day, month, and time on the TFA Life 35.1153.02 weather station?

Accepted Answer

To set the day, month, and time on your TFA Life 35.1153.02 weather station, press and hold the SET button in normal mode. The year display will start to blink: you can then adjust the year using the ▲ (plus) or ▼ (minus) button.

Press the SET button again to move to the next step. The adjustment order is fixed: first the month blinks, then the day, followed by the time format 24h or 12h (24 hours is the default setting), then the hours, and finally the minutes. At each step, use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to change the value.

Once you have set each parameter (year, month, day, time format, hours, minutes), confirm by pressing the SET button to move to the next parameter. To speed up the setting, you can hold down the ▲ or ▼ button during the adjustment: the device will then switch to fast scrolling, which is particularly useful for setting the year or minutes.

The station automatically exits the setting mode after 8 seconds of inactivity (if no button is pressed). You will then return to the normal display of time and date. If you made a mistake, you can start over by pressing and holding the SET button again.

Tip: if your weather station receives a radio signal for the time (radio-controlled function), make sure that manual setting does not conflict with automatic synchronization. Also, check that the batteries are in good condition to avoid losing the settings.
