FORECAST CALIBRATION

Forecast Calibration Mode

This weather stationʼs forecasting feature can be calibrated. If you feel that your personal forecast could be fine-tuned to be more accurate you can calibrate the forecast to be less or more “wet.” Essentially, calibrating the forecast will either reduce or increase how much moisture is present within the forecast software algorithm.

For example, if you feel the forecast is showing rain too often, you can remove 10% of the moisture from the forecast equation. To calibrate the forecast, you must enter into calibration mode.

To access the forecast calibration mode, press AND HOLD the “ ” and “ ” buttons together for at least 5 seconds. NOTE: After 20 seconds of inactivity, the display will save your adjustments and automatically exit calibration mode and return to normal operation.

Press the “” button to remove moisture from the forecast. Press the “” button to add moisture to the forecast. Note that the forecast graphics will change accordingly. Calibrating the forecast may take some trial and error.

Press the “SET” button to confirm your calibration changes and exit.

Calibration changes will be lost if you reset the display unit or remove the batteries.

TIP: if you are on the border of two geographic regions, choose the region that most fits your geographic region and weather type. You may want to try both regions (try for a minimum time frame of a few days for each region selection) to see which region selection provides the best forecast for you.
