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 Projection
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 rainy.
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the
next 1-4 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Clock to collect
air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a 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 Clock has been designed for use in. In areas
that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the
Weather Clock 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 Clock is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than
its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a
house), remove the batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. By doing
this, the Weather Clock 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 1 to 4 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 (the upward and
downward arrow located near the Weather man). 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.
Therefore, user may see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example,
if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloudy icons, it means that the last noticeable
change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sunny icon only). Therefore, the next change in
the weather will be the cloudy icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.
Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will
remain permanently visualized on the LCD.
N) Display of indoor temperature and humidity reading
The indoor temperature and humidity are measured automatically and displayed on the fourth
section of the LCD.
O) Display of outdoor temperature
The last LCD section shows the outdoor temperature, a reception symbol and a channel number under
the temperature will also show if more than one transmitter has been used.
P) Display of indoor maximum and minimum records
In normal display mode, press the “MIN/ MAX” button () three times. The maximum indoor
temperature and humidity will be shown. Also the date and time of recording this temperature
will be displayed.
Press the “MIN/ MAX” button () once more to display the minimum indoor temperature and
humidity. Also the date and time of recording this temperature will be displayed.
Q) Resetting the indoor maximum/ minimum records
In normal display mode, press the “MIN/ MAX” button () to advance to the MIN/ MAX display.
Press and hold the “SET” button (1) for about 3 seconds, this will reset all indoor minimum and
maximum data recorded to the current time, date, temperature and humidity.
The max/ min temperature of the currently selected outdoor channel will also be
reset at the same time.
R) Display of outdoor maximum and minimum records
In normal display mode, press the “CH/ +” button (3) to select the desired channel. The channel
ID will be displayed above the outdoor temperature reading.
Press the “MIN/ MAX” button (), the max temperature of the selected channel will be displayed.
Also the date and time of recording this temperature will be displayed.
Press the “MIN/ MAX” button () once more, the min temperature of the selected channel will
be shown. Press the “ALM” button (4) to go back to the normal display mode.
