e.
If the symbols do not change, the weather has not changed (or
the change has been slow and gradual).
f.
The sensitivity of the change in foreacst icon is set by the user
in section F of the Detailed Set Up Guide.
E.
Weather Tendency Arrows
1.
Along with the forecast icon there
is a pressure tendency arrow.
2.
There is one that points up (on the
left side of the LCD) and one that
points down (on the right side of
the LCD).
3.
These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure.
4.
An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is increasing
and the weather is expected to improve or remain good.
5.
An arrow pointing down indicates that the air pressure is
decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or remain
poor.
6.
No arrow means the pressure is stable.
7.
A storm can be expected if there is a drop of 4 hPa or more in less
than 6 hours. The
clouds with rain
icon will be displayed and the
tendency arrow that points down will be flashing—indicating the
storm warning feature has been activated. The flashing will stop
when the air pressure stabilizes or begins to rise.
F.
Barometric Air Pressure Reading
1.
The actual barometric air pressure is displayed directly under the
weather forecast icon
2.
The relative air pressure is calibrated by the user through the
programming mode.
3.
Please Follow the programming instructions in section F of the
Detailed Set Up Guide to set this feature.

Air Pressure History Bar Chart
1.
The bar graph shows in hPa (Hekto Pascal) the recorded air
pressure over the past 12-hours.
2.
The horizontal axis shows the hours at increments of -12 hours, -9
hours, -6 hours, -3 hours, and 0 hours (current).
3.
The vertical axis is set by hPa: the “0” on this axis represents the
current hPa, and + or – 1,3,5, or 7 shows (in hPa) how high or low
the past air pressure was as compared to the current one.
4.
The “0” on the vertical axis indicates the current air pressure value.
