INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of this weather station, MeteoClock® Silver SM1670. Please take the time to read and understand this manual so you can begin to enjoy the convenience and features this product has to offer.

What exactly is a Weather Station?

Lexibook digital stations measure not only the time in progress - thanks to their built-in-clock but also the actual and upcoming weather.

The MeteoClock® PURE SM1670 incorporates the following functions:

• Thermometer:

The temperature is displayed in real time to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius. Thanks to its wireless sensor, the station can detect from a distance the outdoor temperature or that of another room.

• Hygrometer:

Outdoor or indoor hygrometry is expressed in percentage of humidity in the ambient air. The ideal 'Comfort Zone' for the human body ranges from 35 to 65% hygrometry for a given temperature between 18 and 24^ .

• Barometer:

The station also monitors the atmospheric pressure in real time. It displays the weather forecast by means of animated icons (sun, clouds, rain...) and for the next 12 to 24 hours.

Remote sensor battery installation

1. Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment located at the back of the remote sensor.
2. Insert 2 × 1.5V = -LR03 / AAA type batteries (not included) according to the polarity indicated inside the compartment and as per the diagram shown opposite.
3. Close the battery compartment and tighten the screw.

Note: When the remote sensor's batteries are low, the "low battery" indicator is displayed on the LCD screen of the sensor.

Main unit battery installation

1. Open the battery compartment located at the back of the main unit.
2. Insert 3 × 1.5V = - - - LR6/AA type batteries (not included) observing the polarity indicated at the bottom of the battery compartment, and as per the diagram shown opposite.
3. Close the battery compartment.

Note:

• When the main unit and remote sensor's batteries are low, the "low battery" indicator is displayed on the LCD screen of the main unit.
• When the main unit's LCD display becomes dim, it indicates that the batteries are low and need to be changed.
• If the sensor is exposed to very low temperatures for an extended period of time, the batteries may lose power which may cause the transmission range to be limited. High temperatures also reduce the battery performance.

Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. Remove the storage batteries before recharging. Recharge storage batteries under adult supervision. Do not mix different types of battery and storage battery, or new and old batteries or storage batteries. Insert batteries and storage batteries according to the polarity. Remove used storage batteries from product. Do not short-circuit the battery or storage battery terminals. Keep batteries away from fire. If the product remains unused for an extended period, remove batteries.

WARNING: Mal-function or loss of memory may be caused by strong frequency interference or electrostatic discharge. Should any abnormal function occur, press the RESET button or remove the batteries and insert them again.

Weather forecast symbols and barometric pressure settings

1. When you install or change the unit's batteries (or if you press and hold the "REL/ABS WEATHER" key), the weather forecast symbol flashes on the LCD screen to indicate that you need to set the current weather status.
2. Enter the current weather using the "+" and "-" keys to choose among the 5 weather forecast symbols available.

Sunny	Slightly cloudy	Cloudy	Rainy	Cloudburst

Note: The icon will be displayed when the weather forecast is "Rainy" or "Cloudburst" and the outdoor temperature is under 0^ .

1. Press the "REL/ABS WEATHER" key to confirm the setting. The barometric pressure digits will start flashing.
2. Using the "+" and "-" keys to indicate the barometric pressure at sea level then press the "REL/ABS WEATHER" key to confirm the setting.

Note: Please refer to your local weather station to get information about the barometric pressure at your location.
5. If you need to change the settings, press and hold the "REL/ABS WEATHER" key until the weather forecast icon start flashing on the LCD screen then repeat 2, 3 and 4 above.

Note:

• If you do not set the current weather status or if the weather symbol selected is incorrect, the unit's weather forecast may not be accurate.

• If the weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (e.g from ground floor to 1st floor of a house), the current weather status must be changed as well.

• The weather station will start the first forecast 6 hours after the current weather status has been set. After setting up the weather status, reading for weather forecasts should be discarded for the next 6 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the weather station to operate at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.

• Absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed regarding weather forecasting. The weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the weather station has been designed to be used in.
• If there is any inconsistency of weather forecast between your local weather station and this unit, the local weather station's forecast should prevail.

Automatic synchronization of the main unit and the remote sensor

1. When you change or insert new batteries in the main unit, the synchronization is launched automatically and runs for approximately 2 minutes.
2. Within these 2 minutes, the main unit (receiver) picks up the temperature & humidity signals from the remote sensor and displays the readings.
3. If the main unit does not display the readings after 2 minutes, open the remote sensor and press the "TX" key to synchronize manually the remote sensor and the main unit.

Note: it may take up to 1 minute before the main unit displays the readings.

CHANNEL SELECTION

Channel setting

The SM1670 comes with one remote sensor. The sensor's default channel is channel 1. You do not need to change it. However, if the sensor (or the main unit) is too close to other electrical devices, interference may cause malfunction. In that case:

1. Use the channel selector located inside the sensor's battery compartment to change the channel.
2. Press and hold the "CHANNEL" key for a few seconds to reset the temperature and humidity readings of the remote sensor. The main unit will resynchronize with the new channel selected for the remote sensor.

Note:

• If the sensor is exposed to very low temperatures for an extended period of time, the batteries may lose power which may cause the transmission range to be limited. High temperatures also reduce the battery performance.
• If the main unit doesn't receive readings from the remote sensor, "--" is displayed on the LCD screen.

Multiple sensor use

The channel function allows you to use up to 3 additional sensors. The main unit can identify each remote sensor thanks to their assigned channel (channel 1, 2 or 3). If you have one or two additional sensors, you can place them in a different location in your house; in a bedroom, for example. Your main unit can collect the temperature and humidity data of up to three remote sensors.

1. Make sure you set each sensor to a different channel.
2. Press the TX key inside the remote sensors to synchronize them manually with the main unit. The weather station will detect automatically the new sensors.

Note: it may take up to 1 minute before the main unit displays the readings.
3. Press the "CHANNEL" key repeatedly to select the desired outdoor channel between the 3 available channels ( ).
4. The data of the corresponding remote sensor will be displayed on the main unit's LCD screen. To display successively the readings from all 3 remote sensors, press the "CHANNEL" key repeatedly until the icon is displayed on screen.

Your weather station displays the existing atmospheric pressure in inHg (inches of mercury) and hectopascal (hPa).

Barometric pressure historical graph

The bar graph lets you see the pressure trend over the past 30 hours.

Barometric pressure trend

The trend pointer displayed indicates the trend of the barometric pressure. Generally, bad weather is associated with low pressure and fine weather with high pressure.

Indicates that the barometric pressure trend is increasing.
Indicates that the barometric pressure trend is steady.
Indicates the barometric pressure trend is decreasing.

Barometric pressure display

Press the "REL/ABS WEATHER" key to display the absolute barometric pressure ("Abs" is displayed on the LCD screen) or the relative barometric pressure ("Rel" is displayed on the LCD screen).

Note: Absolute barometric pressure is the actual atmospheric air pressure at a particular location that profoundly depends upon the location altitude. Relative or sea level pressure is the corrected barometric pressure calculated for the sea or zero level, and usually used to refer atmospheric conditions.

MOON PHASES

Throughout the 28 days of the lunar month, the aspect of the moon changes. Indeed, the moon, being spherical, is always half lightened up by the sun. As the moon rotates around the Earth, the appearance of its lightened side changes continuously. This phenomenon creates moon phases. The moon phase on your MeteoClock® is automatically updated according to the year / month / day.

Moon phases

1. New Moon

1. Young Crescent

1. First Quarter

1. Waxing Gibbous

1. Full Moon

1. Waning Gibbous

1. Last Quarter

1. Old Crescent

BACKLIGHT

Press the "SNOOZE/LIGHT" key once to switch on the backlight for a few seconds.
