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: Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy 42 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. [. . . ] If for example the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity (garage doors, double glazing, etc. ). Before securing in place, please ensure that the Weather station can receive the 868MHz signal from the Temperature transmitter at the positions that you wish to situate them. The Temperature Transmitter simply clicks in or out of the holder. [. . . ]
