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.

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.
•
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.
