USING THE WEATHER FORECASTER AND BAROMETER
Your LED weather station has a built-in barometer which measures the barometric pressure. After power up,
the display shows Sunny & Cloudy icons. Your LED weather station takes around 24 hours to gather data of
barometric pressure changes and predicts next 1 2-2 4 hours weather conditions.
There are four types of weather display of the predicted weather condition :

3. Do not subject the clock to excessive force, dust or humidity
4. Do not open the inner back case or tamper with any components of this clock
5. Do not plug in any other AC/DC adaptor with incorrect specifications or voltage
6. Do not place your clock in range ofstrong interferences. (TV, Microwave…)
SUNNY SUNNY & CLOUDY CLOUDY RAINY
Your weather forecaster also has weather tendency indicator, when the air pressure is going up (the weather will
improve) the UP arrow will appear, when the air pressure is going down (the weather will go worse) the DOWN
arrow will appear.
Remarks : Moving your weather station around your house or your building will affect its accuracy because the
sudden change of temperature or height/altitude will affect the accuracy of your weather station. It
will take 24 hours to get stable again to predict next 12-24 hours weather condition.
Your weather station predicts next 12 - 24 hours weather conditions. It may not match with the current weather
condition outside.
