Learning Mode
Self-Calibrating Forecasting use a unique algorithm to analyze changes in
pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude.
After 14 days, the Learning Mode icon disappears from the display screen. At
this point, the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the
unit is ready for superior weather prediction.
Weather Forecast
AcuRiteʼs patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting provides your personal
forecast of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours by collecting data
from the sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint
accuracy – personalized for your exact location.
