HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION

The indoor weather station uses 3 x AA, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the

battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.

2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Replace battery compartment cover.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SENSOR

The remote temperature/humidity sensor uses 2 x

AAA 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the

batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the battery cover

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity

(see battery compartment marking)

3. Replace the battery cover on the unit

BATTERY CHANGE:

User shall replace batteries of the indoor weather station when the battery low indicator is displayed at the LCD. If user

does not replace the batteries, working error may result.

Note:

•After changing the batteries in the indoor weather station there is no need for user to reset the indoor weather station.

In fact, the indoor weather station can remember all remote temperature/humidity sensor information and sequence

as per the pervious set-up. However, user may be required to reset the desired LCD contrast, alarm on/off condition

and the clock (by re-entering the date and time manually or simply wait for the WWVB time signal).

•The “average” value display for particular channel will only be calculated from the data after battery change.

•User needs to carry out the re-learning of the particular remote temperature/humidity sensor after replacing batteries

in the remote temperature/humidity sensor. See “LEARNING/ REMOVING A SENSOR (CHANNEL)” for the

procedures of relearning a remote temperature/humidity sensor.

•It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of these units.

Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorized depot.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

Hint: Use fresh good quality alkaline batteries.

1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor 3 to 5 feet apart.

2. Batteries should be out of both the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor units for

10 minutes.

3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature/humidity sensor first then into the indoor weather station.

4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

In this time the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor will start to talk to each other and the

display will show the indoor temperature/humidity and outdoor temperature/humidity. If the indoor weather station does

not display all information after the 15 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After all information has been

displayed for 15 minutes you can place your sensor(s) outdoors and set your time.

Important Notes on Set-up and Operation

•The remote temperature/humidity sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area.

•Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature/humidity sensor but direct rain must be avoided.

•The remote temperature/humidity sensor has a range of 330 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through

will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window can have up to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall can have up

to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 330 ft. in a straight line.

•The remote temperature/humidity sensor transmits a signal every minute. After the batteries have been installed, the

indoor weather station will search for the signal for a duration of 5 minutes. If there is no temperature or humidity

reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 5 minutes, make sure the units are within range of each other, or repeat the

battery installation procedure.

•If a button is pressed before the indoor weather station receives the signal from the remote temperature/humidity

sensor, you will need to follow the battery installation procedure again.

To complete the set up of your new wireless weather station after the 15 minutes have passed please follow the steps that

follow in the Manual Settings section.

WWVB RADIO-CONTROLLED (ATOMIC) TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located

in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time and date signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz.

The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However, due to

the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The weather station will search for a

signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in

Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten

billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as

9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more information on the atomic clock and WWVB

please see the NIST website at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm.

LEARNING/ REMOVING A REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SENSOR (CHANNEL)

After replacement of batteries of a particular remote temperature/humidity sensor, it is necessary to learn the remote

temperature/humidity sensor again in the learning mode. On the other hand, when a user wants to decrease the number

of remote temperature/humidity sensors to be applied, they may remove the remote temperature/humidity sensors so that

the data from this channel will not be displayed in the indoor weather station. The below procedures describe how to “re-

learn” or “remove” a channel:

1. Press and hold the SET key until the digits “Lcd” starts flashing.

2. Press shortly the SET key eleven times to enter Learn/ Remove setting of channels. The digits “Lrn”, “CH” and the

channel icons will be flashing.

3. Press Plus to select Channel 1. The digit ”1” will be flashing.

4. Press Plus to set Channel 1 to “Re-learn” state (The channel icon will be flashing), or press Minus to remove

Channel 1 (The channel icon will disappear).

5. Press SET key to select Channel 2. The digit “2” will be flashing.

6. Repeat the above steps to Channel 2 to 3, setting them either in “re-learnt” or “removed” state.

Note: Once a channel is removed, the indoor weather station will be “disconnected” from the channel and the data

transmitted by this channel cannot be viewed at the indoor weather station.

THE NUMBER OF REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SENSOR TO BE SAVED INTO THE SYSTEM MEMORY

Up to 3 remote temperature/humidity sensors can be received by the indoor weather station. The user may decide the

number of remote temperature/humidity sensor data to be saved to the permanent memory of the indoor weather station.

For instant, user may apply 3 remote temperature/humidity sensors but set to save the data only from 2 particular remote

temperature/humidity sensors. To set the number of remote temperature/humidity sensor s whose data are to be saved in

the system memory:

1. Press and hold the SET key until the digits “Lcd” starts flashing.

2. Press and release the SET key twelve times to enter remote temperature/humidity sensor number setting. The digit

“Enr” will be flashing.

3. Use the Plus and Minus key to select the number of remote temperature/humidity sensor to be used with the

weather station (up to 3 transmitters)

4. Press the SET key one more time to confirm and go back to the normal display mode.
