14-Day Learning Mode

This weather station has a patented 14-day “Learning Mode” calibration process. During this Learning Mode, the weather station will make altitude calculations that may affect the accuracy of the weather forecast. Once the Learning Mode process is complete, the Learning Mode icon will disappear from the display unit and the weather forecast is ready for superior operation.
