GETTING STARTED

This Weather Station was designed for easy set up. For best operation, the following steps are required to be done in the proper sequence.

1. Insert batteries for main unit before doing so for the sensor units.

2. Receiving unit cannot be set manually until the wireless remote sensor unit registration procedure has been completed.

3. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is 250 feet.

Although the remote unit is weather resistant, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

BATTERY INSTALLATION FOR MAIN UNIT

1. Turn the metal nut anti-clockwise on the bottom of the unit to open and release the battery compartment:

2. Insert 4 AA size 1.5 V alkaline battery as indicate by the polarity;

3. Push the battery compartment back, turn the metal nut clockwise to lock;

NOTE: Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the top-right corner of the LCD.

WIRELESS REMOTE SENSOR REGISTRATION PROCEDURE

1. Insert x4 AA batteries first to the main unit, the outdoor temperature display shows “--”. – While the wave icon will keep blinking for 2 minutes indicate unit is in sensor searching mode.

2. In a second step, insert the x2 AAA batteries for the sensor unit. The LED on the front panel will start flashing at a rate of one time per around 2 seconds indicates channel-1 is in use.

3. While the LED in the sensor unit is flashing, press once the [CH] key will change the sensor channel setting to 2. Keep toggle on [CH] key can change channel setting up to 5. The LED is blinking at a frequency to indicate the channel setting, i.e. continuous blinks 2 times indicate channel-2 is selected.

NOTE: If user does not press any key for 10 seconds, it will exit the channel setting mode and transmit the RF signal. The main unit will register the temperature reading.

(If the transmitter has the LCD display, the °C/°F key will toggle the temperature unit on the LCD.)

REMOTE CHANNEL AUTO-SCROLLING

This device is equipped with an auto-scroll function. While the auto-scroll function is set, the unit will automatically cycle to display temperature of each remote sensor for 6 seconds.

1. To retrieve manually the specific sensor temperature reading, press CHANNEL key until desired channel number is displayed.

2. To enable auto-scroll function, use CHANNEL button to select channel 1, 2, ... until auto scroll icon appears on the left hand corner of the 3rd line display.

DCF 77 RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK

The radio-controlled time is calculated by the Cesium Atomic clock of Braunschweig (offi cial clock of Germany). Then the time is coded and transmitted from Mainfl ingen - near Frankfurt - via a signal on DCF-77 (77.5 kHz). The transmitting range of the signal is 1500 km, which means that most of Western and Central Europe is covered by this signal. Within this range the received time is completely accurate. However, there are many environment factors may affect the RCC reception, i.e. nearby computer monitors or other electronic devices, put on any metal surface, surrounded by any fall buildings and so on. The user had better to place the atomic clock near the window and face the transmitter in Mainfl ingen near Frankfurt, Germany. And then check the RCC strength indicator in the clock display to see if there has any wave above the reception tower. There have 3 wave icons fl ash to indicate 4 levels of RCC signal status:

Very weak Weak Medium Strong

If there has no wave above the reception tower that means the signal is very weak and the clock can not be set by the RCC signal, please try to rotate the unit or other windows to seek for a better RCC reception location. Besides, the RCC signal is the strongest at night, the user can manually set the clock to local time and leave it overnight to receive the RCC signal.

If nothing else works, take the clock outdoors after dark at night, remove and re-install the batteries and leave it overnight to force it to look for the radio controlled time signal. If the clock works outdoors but not indoors, you probably have a local interference problem inside your house or building.

Once the time signal is received, the wave icon will stay on the LCD, and time and calendar will automatically be updated.

Note:

During 10 minutes of time signal reception, all manual settings will be suspended. If setting is desired, press once [▲key to deactivate the reception. You can also press and hold the same key for 3 seconds to manually activate the reception in normal mode. The clock will work as a normal quartz clock if it can't receive the RCC signal.

WEATHER FORECAST

Sunny Rays Slight Cloudy Sunny Cloudy Snowy

Our weather station is capable of detecting local barometric pressure changes, and based on the data collected, can predict the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.

NOTE:

1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather forecast is about 70 to 75%, and therefore, we cannot be held responsible for any inconveniences so caused by an inaccurate one.
2. The weather forecast is meant for the next 12 to 24 hours. It may not necessarily reflect the current situation.
3. The 'Sunny' forecast covering night hours indicates clear weather.

HOW TO CHECK THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE

The current and historical barometric pressure is shown on the atmospheric pressure window.

For monitoring the Sea Level barometric pressure reading at certain altitude, the user needs to select the local altitude I-100 to 2500 meter or -330 to 8200 footl for the altitude setting. Our weather station requires entry of elevation in meter and in foot separately. To determine your location elevation, please either contact your local library. TV/radio weather forecaster, or via Internet at http://www.worldatlas.com/atatlas/infopage/elvation.htm. 1. To enter the altitude compensation setting mode, press and hold | HISTORY | button for 2 seconds to switch from Barometric Pressure to Altitude adjust mode for 10 seconds and the meter icon fl ashes.

1. During Altitude adjust mode, press [UNIT] button to toggle between meter and foot unit. Then press [HISTORY] button to confirm.

2. Last altitude reading will flash, press [UNIT] button to increase the value by 10. Hold down the button to have fast stepping. Press [HISTORY] button once to confirm and exit setting.

The atmospheric pressure can be displayed in mb/hPa, inHg. Press [UNIT] to select the pressure unit.

Our weather station is equipped with barometer reading for 24hr history. If you want to check the pressure history for a particular hour during the past 24 hours, press [HISTORY] button, each press on the button will go back by an hour.

NOTE: If the weather station was just installed with batteries and past data was not yet measured, it will display "---".

The recorded barometric changes for the past 24 hours are displayed in a bar chart below the barometric pressure window.

SET BACKLIGHT COLOR

Make sure the backlight switch is not on "OFF" position, press & hold [MODE] for 2 seconds to enter the backlight color setting and the barometric chart displays a "C" pattern to prompt the user to set the color, the alternate backlight indicates the backlight is set to auto mode and its color is changed according to the weather condition (see more details in 'BACKLIGHT COLOR CHANGE ACCORDING TO FORECAST WEATHER CONDITION'), press [UNIT] button to select f x backlight color in the sequence, 'AMBER' -> 'BLUE' -> 'PURPLE' and then cycle back to 'auto mode'. Press [MODE] button to confirm the setting or auto exit after 10 second.

BACKLIGHT COLOR CHANGE ACCORDING TO FORECAST WEATHER CONDITION

While the backlight is set to auto mode, the color of the backlight will change according to the forecast weather condition to acknowledge the user for the forecast weather.
