Weather Forecast
The unit predicts weather conditions for the next 12-24 hours based on changes in atmospheric pressure. The forecast accuracy is approximately 70-75%.
Forecast Icons:
- Sunny: [Sun icon]
- Partly Sunny: [Partly sunny icon]
- Cloudy: [Cloud icon]
- Rainy: [Rain icon]
Note: After initial setup, disregard weather forecast readings for the first 24 hours to allow the station to collect sufficient data for more accurate predictions. Absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Barometric Trend
The barometric trend arrow indicates changes in atmospheric pressure. If the pressure rises or falls by 1 hPa within one hour, the arrow will point up ⬆️ or down ⬇️ accordingly. If the change is less than 1 hPa, the arrow remains horizontal ➡️.
Remote Sensor Transmission
This weather station supports communication with up to three external sensors; one is included, and two are optional.
- Ensure the weather station is powered as described in "Getting Started".
- Insert batteries into the external sensor and set its TX channel selector (1, 2, or 3) to match the desired channel on the display unit.
- Press the "CH" button on the display unit repeatedly to cycle through channels 1, 2, 3, or to select sequential display of all channels (indicated by a flashing channel icon).
Notes:
- Place the weather station away from devices that generate magnetic fields, such as mobile phones or televisions.
- If the display shows dashes (-) for the outdoor reading, it may indicate a lack of signal. Press and hold the "DOWN" button to initiate an RF signal search.
- Always ensure the channel selected on the display unit matches the channel set on the outdoor sensor.

Proper placement of both the display unit and the outdoor sensor is crucial for accurate performance.
Display Unit Placement:
Place the display unit in a dry area, free from dirt and dust. It is suitable for tabletop or countertop use.
Important Placement Guidelines:
- To ensure accurate temperature readings, place units out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents.
- The display unit and outdoor sensor must be within 200 ft. (60m) of each other.
- To maximize wireless range, position units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may obstruct wireless communication.
- To prevent wireless interference, place both units at least 3 ft. (0.9 m) away from electronic devices such as TVs, computers, microwaves, and radios.
General Care:
- Never immerse the product in water, as this will cause damage.
- Do not subject the product to extreme force, shock, or temperature fluctuations.
- Clean the product with a soft cloth only. Avoid using benzene, thinner, or other solvent chemicals.
