Initial Learning Mode
display console and outdoor sensor:
The forecast will not display predicted high or low temperatures for
the first few hours after powering on. During this initial learning
mode, the weather station will observe changes in your weather
patterns and gather the data needed to generate your precision
forecast.
Placement of Display Console
Place the display console in a dry area free of dirt and dust.
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of
direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. Console
stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. Adjust
display tilt to your preferred viewing angle.
Forecast Display
Precision Forecasting provides the weather forecast for the next
4-hour, 4 to 8-hour, and 8 to 12-hour time periods. Precision
Forecasting continuously analyzes your sensor data and updates the
forecast icons and high/low temperatures accordingly.
Placement of Sensor
The sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe outdoor
temperatures. Sensor must be placed less than 330 ft (100 m)
from the display console. Sensor is water resistant and is
designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its life
place the sensor in an area protected from direct weather
elements. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place
out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
The weather forecast icon will display one of 18 different weather
conditions. The moon will show (as a simplified Moon Phase) instead
of the sun when the forecast time period occurs overnight.
Below is an example of a few forecast icons:
There are 2 placement options for the sensor: Hang using the
integrated hang holes, or use string (not included) to hang
from a suitable location, like a well-covered tree branch.
Prevent Wireless Interference
This weather station uses wireless radio frequency for data
communication, which is susceptible to interference from electronics,
large metallic items and thick walls. To prevent interference, place both
the display console and the sensor at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from
appliances (TV, microwave, radios, etc.), large metal surfaces, thick
stone walls, etc.

Problem
Barometric Pressure
Possible Solution(s)
Barometric pressure, also called atmospheric pressure, is defined as
the pressure at any location on the Earth, caused by the weight of
the column of air above it. At sea level, atmospheric pressure has an
average value of one atmosphere, and gradually decreases as
altitude increases.
Relocate the display console and/or the outdoor
sensor. The units must be within 330 feet (100
meters) of each other. Make sure both units are
placed at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from electronics
that may interfere with the wireless communication
(such as TVʼs, microwaves, computers, etc).
NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes for the display
console to re-synchronize with the sensor when
batteries are replaced. Use lithium batteries in
sensor when temperature is below -4ºF (-20ºC).
Make sure the A-B-C switch selection in the battery
compartments of both the display unit and sensor
match each other.

Wireless Sensor
Reception
The weight of the air mass, or atmosphere, that envelopes Earth
exerts pressure on all points of the planet's surface. Meteorologists
use a tool called a barometer to measure atmospheric pressure. At
sea level the atmospheric pressure is approximately 1 kilogram per
square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch), which will cause a
column of mercury in a mercury barometer to rise 760 millimeters
(30.4 in).
no bars
Batteries may need to be replaced.
Check that batteries are correctly installed.
Display Console
Subtle variations in atmospheric pressure greatly affect the weather.
Low pressure generally brings rain. In areas of low air pressure, the
air is less dense and relatively warm, which causes it to rise. The
expanding and rising air naturally cools, and the water vapor in the
air condenses, forming clouds and the drops that fall as rain. In high
pressure areas, conversely, the air is dense and relatively cool, which
causes it to sink. The water vapor in the sinking air does not
condense, leaving the skies sunny and clear.
Press the reset button located on the back of the
display unit to reset the entire unit. Please note that
all of the date and time information will need to be
entered manually after a reset.
Screen Not Working
The Precision Forecast will not display predicted
high or low temperatures for the first few hours
after powering on or resetting. During this initial
learning mode, the weather forecast will collect
data to learn your weather patterns.
Precision Forecast

for high/low
This weather station displays the current barometric pressure, as well
as a pressure indicator arrow of the trend (rising, falling or steady),
pictured below. The multi-variable history chart also tracks and
display the changes in pressure for the last 12 hours (-12, -6, -3, -2,
-1, 0). The chart allows you to monitor the rate of change over time.
These features can assist you in forecasting changes in the weather.
If the forecast seems wildly inaccurate, make
certain that your geographic region is selected
properly. The geographic region selection can
drastically affect the accuracy of the forecast. See

may fine tune and improve the accuracy of the
forecasting feature.

FORECAST CALIBRATION
REFERENCE
Forecast Calibration Mode
Precision Forecast Geographic Regions
This weather stationʼs forecasting feature can be calibrated. If you
feel that your personal forecast could be fine-tuned to be more
accurate you can calibrate the forecast to be less or more “wet.”
Essentially, calibrating the forecast will either reduce or increase how
much moisture is present within the forecast software algorithm.
For example, if you feel the forecast is showing rain too often, you
can remove 10% of the moisture from the forecast equation. To
calibrate the forecast, you must enter into calibration mode.

TIP: if you are on the border of two geographic regions, choose the

may want to try both regions (try for a minimum time frame of a few
days for each region selection) to see which region selection
provides the best forecast for you.
