SOLAR-POWERED OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER (915MHZ RECEPTION)

The Weather Station receives outdoor data every 48 seconds. If it does not receive the temperature

data within 2 minutes after set-up (or the display shows “- - -”), then please check the following

points:

1. The distance of the Weather Station or the Sensor should be at least 6 feet (2 meters) away

from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.

2. Avoid placing the Weather Station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window

frames.

3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same

signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.

4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also cause

interference.

NOTE: When the 915 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of the

Weather Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should

this happen accidentally then reset all units (see “TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERY IN THE

SOLAR STATION” and “INITIAL SETUP”above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.

The maximum transmission range is 200 feet (60.96 m) from the outdoor transmitter to the Solar

Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference

levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to

be reset (see “TO REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION” and “INITIAL SETUP”).

TO REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION

The Weather Station uses either the included 2 x solar-rechargeable batteries (charged by solar

panel) or 2 x AA standard alkaline batteries (non-rechargeable; not included).

The Weather Station comes with special solar-rechargeable batteries that should provide many

years of service. If the batteries lose their ability to hold a charge, please dispose of them

responsibly. Do NOT attempt to recharge the included solar-rechargeable batteries outside of the

WS-8120U.Use standard alkaline batteries or contact customer support for more information.

*Once the solar-rechargeable batteries are removed from the Weather Station, slide the battery

switch to the left position before replacing the batteries.

REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF BATTERIES TO BE INSTALLED, THE BATTERY SWITCH

MUST BE IN THE LEFT POSITION WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE INSERTED.

If new solar rechargeable batteries are used, the battery switch should be moved to the right

SOLAR position AFTER they are inserted in the unit.

REPLACE INCLUDED SOLAR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES WITH STANDARD ALKALINE

BATTERIES

1. Remove the included solar rechargeable batteries from the compartment.

2. Slide the battery switch to the LEFT to select the alkaline battery.

3. Insert new, 2 x standard alkaline batteries into the compartment, observing the correct

polarity (see marking inside battery compartment or on the case).

4. Replace battery cover

Note: For best performance, standard alkaline batteries should be replaced at least once every 2

years to maintain the best running accuracy. Ensure that the batteries used are new and the correct

size.

Please help in the preservation of the environment and return used batteries to an

authorized depot.

SETUP AFTER INITIAL START-UP / REPLACING THE BATTERIES

1. After powering up the Weather Station, all LCD segments will light up briefly and it will show

the time (12:00), indoor temperature, date, and indoor humidity.

2. After the batteries are inserted, the Weather Station will start receiving data signal from the

Sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity data should then be displayed on the

Weather station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, please remove the batteries from

the Weather Station, slide the battery switch to the left, insert the batteries back into the

Weather Station (slide the switch to the right if using the included solar-rechargeable

batteries), press the RESET key on the Sensor and follow the set up process again.

3. The distance between the Weather Station and the Sensor should not be more than 200 feet

(60.96m) to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission.

Note: When changing the batteries:

1. Be careful that they do not spring free from the contacts.

2. Press any button 20 times with the batteries removed.

3. Wait at least 10 minutes after removing batteries before re-inserting them to avoid

start-up problems.

WARNING! "Do NOT recharge the included solar rechargeable batteries in any device other

than the product they came with. Recharging the rechargeable solar batteries in battery

chargers or other third party devices will damage the batteries and charging device."

POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:

Stand the Weather Station on a table top, counter or desk, or mount is on a wall.

Ensure that the Weather Station continuously receives the 915MHz signal from the Sensor before

mounting it in the desired location. The Weather Station should be placed in a bright environment for

the solar cell to collect enough light to recharge the included solar-rechargeable batteries.

WALL MOUNTING

1. Install a mounting screw (not included) into a wall—leaving approximately

3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.

2. Place the Weather Station onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the

backside. Gently pull the Weather Station down to lock the screw into

place.

NOTE: Always ensure that the Weather Station locks onto the screw before

releasing.

TABLE STAND: Pull out the two table stands from the back of the weather

station. Set on desk or table.

POSITIONING THE SOLAR TRANSMITTER (SENSOR):

It is important to place the Sensor in a bright environment for the solar panel to collect

enough light to recharge the internal power cell. It is best mounted on an East wall to

receive cool morning sun to charge. Under an overhang will provide protection from the

overhead sun, which can cause temperature inaccuracies.

The Sensor can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted using the bracket which

doubles as a stand or wall mount base.

WALL MOUNTING

Secure the bracket onto desired wall using screws and plastic anchors.

Clip the solar Sensor onto the bracket.

Note: The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If, for instance, the Sensor is

attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this

reason, we recommend not to place the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large

metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate vicinity (garage doors, double glazing, etc.).

Before securing the Sensor in place, please ensure that the Weather Station continuously receives

the 915MHz signal from the Sensor from the desired location.
