change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon)
since the icons are already at their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not
necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is
cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is
not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to
get worse but not necessarily rainy.
Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24
hours. This will allow sufficient time for the weather station to collect air pressure data at a
constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather
forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying
areas the weather station has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden
changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the weather station will be more
accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for
example mostly sunny).
If the weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial
standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), discard the
weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. By doing this, the weather station will not mistake
the new location as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight
change of altitude.
