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- 24 hours weather conditions.
There are four types of weather display of the predicted weather condition :
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Press the RESET button on the back of the base thermometer and then press RESET button located on the
back of the outdoor transmitter. Once you do this, your clock will be reset to default setting and needs to be

TO USE THE HI-LO DIMMER SWITCH
Simply slide the LO-HI DIMMER switch at the back of the clock to adjust the LED brightness to a comfortable
level to you in the dark.
CARE OF YOUR CLOCK
1. Do not expose your clock to extreme temperatures, water or direct sunlight.
2. Avoid contact with any corrosive materials
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 of strong 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.
