[. . . ] The date is also updated with the received time. 32 CALENDAR SETTING Year "Date. Month. " (for 24h time display) "Month. Date. " (for 12h time display) 33 The date default of the Weather Station is 1. Once the radio-controlled time signals are received, the date is automatically updated. However, if the signals are not received, the date can also be set manually. The range runs from 2003 to 2029 (default is 2006). Press the SET key to enter the month setting mode. Press the + key to set the month and then press the SET key to go to the date setting. Confirm with the SET key and enter the "°F/°C TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING" or exit the setting mode by pressing the CH key. 34 °F/°C TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING flashing The default temperature reading is set to °F (degrees Fahrenheit). The "°F/ °C" will be flashing, use the + key to toggle between "°F" and "°C". 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. 35 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 changing weather conditions. Sensitivity level (flashing) 36 1. 2. Using the + key to set the weather sensitivity level. There are 3 levels of setting: 2, 3 and 4. The value corresponds to the change of air pressure in (hPa) before the weather icon will switch to another state. Level 2 is the most sensitive setting, level 4 is the slowest recording setting (default setting is "3"). Confirm with the SET key and exit the Manual settings. WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY: The weather forecast icons (Oscar Outlook): One of the 15 different weather icons (featuring Oscar Outlook with different clothing) is displayed in the centre of LCD, which indicates the different forecast weather condition due to air pressure level (Sunny, Sunny + Cloudy or Cloudy + Rainy) and the current outdoor temperature (Temperature value detected by Channel 1): 37 78. 8°F (26°C) 50 to 66°F 66. 2 to 78. 6°F (19 to 25. 9°C) (10 to 18. 9°C) 32 to 49. 8°F (0 to 9. 9°C) < 32°F (0°C) Sunny 38 78. 8°F (26°C) 50 to 66°F 32 to 49. 8°F 66. 2 to (10 to 18. 9°C) (0 to 9. 9°C) 78. 6°F (19 to 25. 9°C) < 32°F (0°C) Sunny + Cloudy 39 78. 8°F (26°C) 50 to 66°F 32 to 49. 8°F 66. 2 to 78. 6°F (10 to 18. 9°C) (0 to 9. 9°C) (19 to 25. 9°C) < 32°F (0°C) Cloudy + Rainy 40 Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48-60 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station 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 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 upper floors of a house), remove the batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will not 41 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 48 to 60 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 Oscar Outlook).
