A/C power adapter:  Insert enclosed 5-volt a/c power adapter into a wall outlet, then into the Forecast Station. Battery Compartment 5-Volt a/c adapter INITIAL SET UP: 1. [. . . ] 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 initial set-up, readings for Weather Forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Forecast Station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. For every sudden or significant change in the Air Pressure, the Forecast Icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. 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 Forecast Station to register. 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 Forecast Station has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Forecast 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 Forecast 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), disregard the weather forecast for the next 48-60 hours. By doing this, the Forecast 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. MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE/HUMIDTY DATA: This Forecast Station features daily minimum and maximum temperatures each day starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The clock automatically resets the min/max temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM). VIEW MIN/MAX:  MAX: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button once to view maximum temperature and humidity values for Indoor and Outdoor data.  MIN: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button twice to view minimum temperature and humidity values for Indoor or Outdoor data.  RESET MIN/MAX: Hold the MIN/MAX button for 5 seconds to reset all indoor and outdoor minimum and maximum values. (The clock automatically resets the min/max temperatures at midnight: 12:00 AM). Note: If you are using multiple transmitters connected to the clock, all channels will reset at the same time. 9 10 HEAT INDEX: Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. When relative humidity increases, the air feels warmer than it actually is because your body is less able to cool effectively by evaporation of perspiration. Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the temperature is above 80 degrees °F (26. 7°C). USE MULTIPLE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTERS: The Forecast Station will accommodate up to three remote outdoor transmitters (TX14TH). The channel selection button allows you to easily see the temperature in various locations: outdoors, baby’s room, greenhouse, basement, etc. Remove the battery cover from all the transmitters (Leave battery covers off until all transmitters are received by the Forecast Station). Set the first outdoor transmitter to Channel 1 and insert 2-AA batteries.
