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? Three possible weather icons 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).

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.

Display Information Entire Display is Blank

Batteries: If your weather station has a blank display, it is generally a power issue. Please be sure you are using good alkaline batteries dated at least six years in advance. Remove the batteries from the unit, press the SET button 20 times to clear any electricity, and install good alkaline batteries.

Segmented Numbers

If your weather station has missing segments on numbers or letters, it is generally a power issue. Please be sure you are using good alkaline batteries dated at least six years in advance. Remove the batteries from the unit, press the SET button 20 times to clear any electricity, wait 10 minutes with batteries out. Then install good alkaline batteries.

Display Has Black “ink blob” on it.

If your screen has black on it that may look like and ink blob, this is likely do to the display unit falling or being impacted in some way. Unfortunately, this is not a warranty issue.

Prevention: Be aware of expiration dates. Do not mix old and new batteries.
