FAHRENHEIT/CELSIUS: °F will flash. Press and release the ▲ or ▼ buttons to select 

Fahrenheit or Celsius. Confirm with the TIME SET button and exit. 

Note: When no buttons are pressed for ten seconds, the weather station will save the 

last change and default back to normal mode. 

 

Forecast Icons Inaccurate 

 

THIS WEATHER STATION LEARNS OVER TIME! 

Please allow 3-4 weeks for barometer calibration to generate an accurate forecast. 

 

IMPORTANT: As the Weather station builds memory, it will compare the current average 

pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the   

Weather station operates in one location, the more accurate the forecast icons will be. 

 

Weather Forecast Icons: This Weather station has six forecast icons that predict the 

weather condition of the next 12-hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure. The 

weather forecast is about 70-75% correct. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly 

forecasted, we are not responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. 

 

 

Sunny (clear) 

 

Partly Cloudy 

 

Cloudy 

 

Stormy 

 

Rainy 

 

Snowy (temp below 32 ºF) 

The icons forecast the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily 

sunny or rainy, as each icon indicates.  

 

Weather station is dim 

 

Explanation: Most weather stations have a dark background. Place the weather station at 

eye level, to determine if it is dim. Weather stations that sit in the sunlight can develop a 

cloudy film over time. 

 

This is generally a power related issue.  

 

Batteries 

may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from weather 

station.  

 

Press any button 20 times. Leave the weather station unpowered for 1-2 hours. 

 

Install fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.  

 

 Weather station has distorted or frozen display 

 

Explanation: On a brand new weather station, check for thin plastic film of printed scratch 

guard that may be on the screen of the weather station. This thin piece of plastic has 

printed numbers for store displays. When the batteries are installed, the “real” numbers 

show behind the printed scratch guard and create distortion. 

 

With all power removed, the weather station should be blank.  

 

If numbers still appear, please check for scratch guard.
