MIN/MAX TEMPERATURES  

 
The forecast station will show the daily minimum and maximum 
temperatures each day starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The forecast 
station automatically resets the min/max temperatures 
at midnight (12:00 AM). 

  

 

 

View MIN data:  

Press and release the MIN TEMP 

button to view the minimum Indoor and Outdoor 
Temperatures.

   

 

Reset MIN data:  

Hold the MIN TEMP button for 5 seconds and the 

Indoor and all Outdoor Minimum Temperatures will be reset. The 
temperature area will show dashes briefly then return to current 
temperatures.

Press and release the MAX TEMP 

button to view the maximum Indoor and Outdoor 
Temperatures.

FORECAST TENDENCY INDICATOR   

 
The forecast tendency indicators in the upper right corner of the forecast 
display indicate the rising or falling pressure trend. 
 
Rising Pressure Falling Pressure 
 
The up trending arrow indicates the weather is improving. The down 
trending arrow indicates the weather may worsen. When there is no 
arrow the pressure is steady. 
 

 

WEATHER FORECAST ICONS 

 
The forecast station predicts weather condition of the next 12-hours 
based on the change of atmospheric pressure with 70-75% accuracy. 

Note

: As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we 

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

 

 
The forecast station samples the barometric pressure every twelve 
minutes. These samples are averaged hourly and daily then stored in 
nonvolatile memory. The three hour pressure icon change is based off of 
the last four average hourly readings.  
 

THIS STATION LEARNS 
The forecast station calibrates barometric pressure based on its 
location over a period of time to generate an accurate, personal 
forecast. Please allow 3 to 4 days for barometer calibration.

 

IMPORTANT

: As the forecast station builds memory, it will compare the 

current average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for 
increased accuracy. The longer the forecast station operates in one 
location the more accurate the forecast icons will be. 

 
 

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  

 

 

Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries 

 

Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeable 
Batteries 

 

Do not expose the forecast station to extreme temperatures, vibration 
or shock.  

 

Keep forecast station dry. 

 

Clean forecast station with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or 
scouring agents. 

 

The forecast station is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children. 

 

The forecast station is not to be used for medical purpose or for public 
information; it is for home use only. 

 

The specifications of this forecast station may change without prior 
notice. 

 

Improper use or unauthorized opening of housing will void the 
warranty. 

 

POSITION THE FORECAST STATION 

 
Choose a location for the forecast station that is within range 
(300 feet, 90 meters) of the outdoor transmitter.  The forecast 
station has a built in base stand to sit on a table or desk.   

  Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as 

cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions, 
microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which can 
prevent signal reception.  

  Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. 

  Best reception is achieved when the front or the back of the 

forecast station is facing the outdoor transmitter. This allows a larger 
portion of the antenna to receive a signal.  

 
 

POSITION THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER 

 
Once the forecast station shows the outdoor temperature/humidity, 
place it and the transmitter in the desired locations and wait 
approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to 
ensure that there is proper reception. The transmitter should be 
mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6 feet from the 
ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The transmitter
