Weekday:  How Do I Correct the Day of the Week?

• When operating as a standalone station, the day of the week will set when the Year, Month, and Date are set. If your day of the week is incorrect, yet the month and date are correct, please go the program menu and check the YEAR setting.

Does This Station Have 12 Hour and 24 Hour Time Options?

• Yes, you can select 12 hour or 24 hour time format in the program menu.

Why Are There Outlines on Arrows by My Pressure Reading?

The Pressure Trend Arrows will always be outlined.  The active icon will be full.

Why Does the Moon Phase Show When It Is Storming?

The station will show Moon Phase in the forecast area from 7:00pm to 6:59am whether operating as a standalone or connected station. The Moon Phase will show during all Forecast options, not just if Sunny or Partly Sunny.

The Sun Icon will show between 7:00am and 6:59pm only when Sunny or Partly Sunny is forecasted.  So, we will have a day and night forecast whether operating as a standalone or connected station.

How Does the Forecast Work?

Standalone Station: When operating as a standalone station, the forecast icons predict weather condition over the next 12-hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure with about 70-75% accuracy.  As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted, we are not responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.

 Forecast Icons for standalone station:

• Sunny
• Partly Sunny
• Cloudy
• Rain
• T-Storm
• Snow

Note: The “snow” icon appears when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and the forecast is rainy or stormy. 

• Your station calibrates barometric pressure based on its location over time to generate an accurate, personal forecast. Please allow 7-10 days for barometer calibration.

Note: As the Station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the Station operates in one location the more accurate the forecast icons will be.
