■After setting up, reading for weather forecasts should be discarded for the next 12-24 hours.
This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to operate 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.
■If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its
initial standing point (e.g from ground floor to 1st floor of a house), remove the batteries and
reinsert them after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will not make
mistake of new location being a possible change in air pressure. Again, discard the weather
forecasts for the next 12-24 hours as this allow time for operation at a constant altitude.
