If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather Station to register. When the indicator points upwards, it means that the airpressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse. Taking this into account, one can see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards. Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD. CHANGING THE DISPLAY MODE (DATE, SECONDS, AND TEMPERATURES) There are 3 possible display modes to view the day, alarm time and seconds. [. . . ] Note: Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature and humidity readings are receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the transmitter(s) or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception. If for example the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity (garage doors, double-glazing, etc. ).
