Operation Manual

2. Once the desired temperature unit has been chosen, confirm with the SET
key and enter the “Weather Forecast Icon Sensitivity setting” or exit the
setting mode by pressing the CH key.
WEATHER FORECASTING ICON SENSITIVITY SETTING
For locations with rapid changes of weather conditions, the threshold can be set
to a different level for faster display of weather conditions.
1. Using the IN key to set the weather sensitivity level. There are 3 levels of
setting: 1, 2 and 3; level 1 is the most sensitive setting, level 3 is the least
sensitive setting (default setting is "2").
2. Confirm with the SET key and exit the Manual settings.
WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY
THE WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS
There are 3 weather icons on the third section of the LCD which can be displayed
in any of the following combinations:
For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will
update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not
change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has
been too slow for the Weather Station to register. However, if the icon displayed is
a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any
better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at
their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and
not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current
weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the
product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure
has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rain.
Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecast should be disregarded for the next
12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to collect air
pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in an more accurate
forecast.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The
weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75%
due to the varying areas the Weather Station has been designed for use in. In
areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to
rain), the Weather Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where
the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower
than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the first floor of
a house), remove the batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. By
doing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a
possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of
altitude. Again, disregard weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours as this will
allow time for operation at a constant altitude.
THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR
Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendency indicators
(located on the left and right hand side of the weather icons). When the indicator
points upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is
expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is
dropping and the weather is expected to become worse.
Taking this into account, one can see how the weather has changed and is
expected to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together
with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was
when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather
will be cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.
Note:
Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it
will remain permanently visualized on the LCD.
INDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY READING WITH
COMFORT LEVEL INDICATOR
The indoor temperature and humidity are detected automatically and displayed on
the fourth section of the LCD.
THE COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS
Comfortable: A happy face icon “☺” indicating a temperature level between
20.0°C and 25.9°C (68°F to 78.6°F) and humidity between
45% and 65%.
Uncomfortable: A sad face icon “” indicating any value outside the
comfortable range.
