ABOUT THE WEATHER INDICATOR
The built-in barometer can notice atmospheric pressure
changes. Based on the data collected, it can predict the
weather conditions in the forthcoming 12-24 hours.
NOTE:
1.
The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather
forecast is about 70% to 75%.
2.
The weather forecast is meant for next 12 to 24 hours,
it may not necessarily reflect the current situation.
3.
The “Snowy” weather forecast is not based on the
atmosphere pressure, but based on the outdoor
temperature. When the outdoor temperature is below
-3°C (26°F), the “Snowy” weather indicator will be
displayed on the LCD.
RECEPTION OF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME SIGNAL
The time and date are radio-controlled. The current time
and date are automatically synchronized with the time
