Time zone setting The time zone default of the Weather station is "0". The current time zone value at the bottom of the LCD display starts flashing. flashing 2. 3. Press and release MODE/MIN key to adjust the time zone. The range runs from 0, -1, -2 to -12, then 12, 11, 10 to 0, in consecutive 1-hour intervals. Confirm with the SNOOZE key and enter the Manual time setting. Manual time setting In case the Weather station cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc. ), the time can be manually set. The station will then work as a normal Quartz 48 clock. Hours (flashing) Minutes (flashing) 1. Confirm with the SNOOZE key and enter the Calendar setting. Note: The unit will still try and receive the time signal regularly despite it being manually set. When it does receive the signal, it will change the manually set time into the received time.

However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no 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.
