FEATURES OF THE WS-7168U
I. WEATHER FORECAST
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate and is for
the next 12 to 24 hours. The weather forecast is based solely upon the
change of air pressure over time. The WS-7168U averages past air-pressure
readings to provide an accurate forecast—creating a necessity to disregard
all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset,
or moved from one altitude to another (i.e. from one floor of a building to
another floor). In areas where the weather is not largely affected by the
change of air pressure, the sensitivity setting should be set to 1.
