Temperature Trend Display:

After you insert the batteries, the weather station will measure the current temperature. The trend display will show a neutral temperature course (horizontal arrow). The further course of the trend display is determined as follows:

• If after an hour the temperature is more than 1°C higher than the first value measured, then a positive course is displayed (arrow pointing upwards).
• If after an hour the temperature is more than 1°C lower than the first value measured, then a negative course is displayed (arrow pointing downwards).
• If the temperature does not change within the hour, then a neutral value is displayed (horizontal arrow).
