Frequently Asked Questions - AWS899 OREGON SCIENTIFIC

How to set the time and date automatically?

The device synchronizes automatically via the DCF or MSF radio-controlled signal received by the probe. To enable or disable this function, press and hold UP (enable) or DOWN (disable) in clock display mode. You can also set it manually after disabling synchronization in the Settings > Clock menu.

What to do if the outdoor probe is not detected?

Check the probe batteries and make sure they are properly inserted. Then press the RESET button on the probe. On the main unit, press and hold TEMP/HYGRO SEARCH for 2 seconds to start a manual search. Also check that the probe is within 30 meters without major obstacles.

How to set the alarm and activate snooze?

Go to Settings > Alarm. You can configure two separate alarms (time, weekday, or daily). Once set, the alarm icon appears. When the alarm rings, press SNOOZE to activate an 8-minute snooze. To disable snooze, press and hold ENTER.

How to display my own photos on the screen?

Download photos from a PC running Windows 2000 or XP via the USB cable and the provided software. In the software, choose a frame from the 6 available (Personal, Sunny, etc.) and copy your photo to the corresponding album. Once transferred, the photo appears automatically. Enable the Wallpaper option in the Settings > Personal Photo menu to display it in standby.

How to interpret the weather forecast?

The forecasts are valid for 12 to 24 hours within a radius of 30 to 50 km with a reliability of 70 to 75%. Four icons are available: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy. The forecasts are based on atmospheric pressure. Altitude compensation can be set in the Weather menu to improve accuracy.

What do the temperature and humidity trend indicators mean?

Arrows indicate the trend over the last 24 hours: ▲ rising, ▼ falling, → stable. For temperature, the trend is based on a change of 1 °C; for humidity, on 3% relative humidity. You can view min/max values by pressing UP and DOWN simultaneously for 2 seconds.

How to enable automatic screen rotation?

In the main menu, select the AUTO-ROTATION display mode and press ENTER. You can adjust the rotation speed (fast, normal, slow) in the Settings > Display > Rotation Frequency menu. The screens then cycle automatically: weather forecast, time and alarm, temperature and humidity, pressure and UV index.

What to do if the screen remains black?

The device may be in standby mode. Press any key to wake the display. If that doesn't work, check the power supply (adapter or batteries). You can also increase the brightness in the Settings > Display > Brightness menu. As a last resort, use the RESET button on the back.

How to clear temperature and humidity min/max records?

In the Temperature & Humidity display mode, select the desired channel with CHANNEL. Then press UP and DOWN simultaneously for 2 seconds until you hear a beep. The min and max readings are then reset for that channel.

Can I add more probes?

Yes, the main unit can receive up to 5 thermo-hygro probes and 1 UV probe. Compatible probes are: THGR228N, THGR238N, THR228N, THGR328N, and UVR138 (optional). Each probe must be set to a different channel (1 to 5) using the selector located in the battery compartment.

GETTING STARTED

BATTERIES

Batteries for the remote and main units are supplied with this product. Press the RESET button whenever you change batteries.

The main unit uses:

• 3 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V batteries
The thermo / hygro sensor uses:
• 2 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V batteries
The optional UV sensor uses:
• 4 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V batteries

NOTE Insert the batteries in the remote unit before you set up the main unit. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

AC ADAPTOR (MAIN UNIT)

When the main unit is plugged into the power socket or batteries are inserted for the first time, an opening animation will be shown before the Main Menu screen.

Connect the AC adaptor to your weather station's AC socket located on the side of the main unit base stand.

NOTE Batteries are for memory backup purposes only; the AC adaptor should power the main unit.

REMOTE SENSOR (RTGR328N)

This product is shipped with a RTGR328N Thermo-Hygro Sensor. The main unit can collect data from up to 6 sensors (5 Thermo-Hygro Sensors and 1 UV Sensor).

The following sensors are compatible with the main unit:

• THGR228N
• THGR238N
- THR228N
• THGR328N

The RTGR328N sensor collects temperature and humidity readings, and signals from official time-keeping organizations for the radio-controlled clock.

SETUP REMOTE SENSOR

1. Open the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries.

1. Press RESET. Then set the temperature unit.

SWITCH OPTION
Temp °C / °F

1. Close the battery compartment and place the sensor in your desired location.

For best results:

• Insert the batteries and select the channel before you mount the sensor.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres (100 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures may affect battery performance and signal transmission.

You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.

REMOTE SENSOR SIGNAL

Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking and show the signal strength by displaying between 1 and 4 waves.

STRONG SIGNAL	WEAK SIGNAL	NO SIGNAL
	[0415]	###

Press SEARCH to manually activate a search for the radio-controlled clock signal. The reception icon will blink until the clock signal is found or the search period times out.

NOTE Signals from household devices such as doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal and does not affect general product performance. The reception will resume once the interference ends.

CLOCK

This product tracks the time and date based on radio-controlled signals from the RTGR328N remote sensor, or manual settings that you enter.

RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK

The time and date are automatically updated by radio-controlled clock signals from official time-keeping organizations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby (England) unless you disable this feature. The signals are collected by the remote sensor (RTGR328N) whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.

MAIN UNIT SENSOR SEARCHING

Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when you first set up the unit, and whenever you press RESET. Press and hold TEMP / HYGRO SEARCH for 2 seconds to manually activate sensor searching. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking.

To view the status of the main unit's signal with the outdoor temperature and humidity channel(s), go to the TEMP & HUMIDITY Display:

ICON MEANING
	Searching for sensor
[SK4W2]	Sensor found
[CKTZ]	No Sensor

To view the status of the main unit's signal with the radio-controlled clock signals, look for the icon shown in the CLOCK & ALARM Display area. It indicates 2 factors:

• Connection between the main unit and the sensor (☐)
• RF signal reception ( )

How these signals work together:

ICON MEANING
	The unit has contact with the sensor and has synchronized the time.
	The unit has contact with the sensor but the time has not been synchronized.
	The unit has lost contact with the remote sensor but the time is synchronized.
	The unit has lost contact with the remote sensor and the time is not synchronized.
	The unit cannot reach the remote sensor.

NOTE To force a manual search for RF clock reception, press and hold TEMP / HYGRO SEARCH on the main unit for 2 seconds.

TURN RADIO RECEPTION ON / OFF

When you are in the CLOCK & ALARM Display you can turn the reception on or off.

To turn the radio reception ON: Press and hold UP for 2 seconds.

To turn the radio reception OFF: Press and hold DOWN for 2 seconds.

Alternatively, you can turn it ON / OFF in the CLOCK Setting Mode (see relevant section).
