Forecast Icons and Weather Person
Forecast Icon Shows Incorrect Conditions
This feature indicates what the weather may be like 12 hours into the future and
not what is happening right now. The weather forecasting feature is estimated to
be 75% accurate. The weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air
pressure over time; creating a necessity to disregard all weather forecasting for
about 24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to
another (i.e. from one floor of a building to another floor). In areas where the
weather is not affected by the change of air pressure, this feature will be less
accurate. To adjust forecast settings see section 2.

What Do the Sun/Clouds/Rain Icons Indicate?
There are three possible weather icons that will be displayed:
Sunny
-indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will
be sunny).
Sun with Clouds
-indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the
weather will be sunny with clouds).
Clouds with Rain
-indicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that the
weather will be rainy).
The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The
icons change in order, from "sunny" to "partly sunny" to "rainy" or the reverse. It
will not change from "sunny" directly to "rainy", although it is possible for the
change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the weather has not
changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.
Forecast Icon is Blinking
Occasionally the word “tendency,” the up (or down) arrow, and the clouds or sun
will become animated. This is a visual indication that there has been a recent
/sudden change in the weather conditions. Generally this is the result of a fast low
front coming in.
59
What Does the Weather Person Indicate?
“Oscar” lets you know what to wear and how to prepare for the day’s activities.
Oscar displays 15 different clothing suggestions based on current temperature
and air pressure.
Weather Person Icons combinations are displayed based on Outdoor
Temperature from Outdoor Transmitter Channel 1 only. If you do not have a
sensor reading on Channel 1, Oscar will not change.
