Frequently Asked Questions - BAR208SX OREGON SCIENTIFIC

How to install the outdoor sensor?

Open the sensor battery compartment, select a channel (1, 2 or 3), then press RESET. Close the compartment and place the sensor within 30 m of the main unit, protected from direct sunlight and moisture, at a height of about 1.5 m.

How to synchronize the clock automatically?

The clock automatically synchronizes with the DCF-77 (Europe) or MSF-60 (United Kingdom) radio signal. To activate reception, press and hold the + key for a few seconds. Reception may take 2 to 10 minutes.

What do the weather icons mean?

The icons forecast the weather for 12 to 24 hours: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, snowy. The icon flashes during weather alerts (HEAT, WIND, STORM, FOG, FROST).

How to display max/min temperatures?

Press the MEM key several times to toggle between current, maximum and minimum readings for the selected sensor. To clear the readings, hold down MEM.

What to do if the display is blank or abnormal?

Perform a reset by pressing the RESET button on the back of the main unit. If the problem persists, check the batteries or the AC adapter.

Can I use multiple sensors?

Yes, the main unit can receive up to 3 sensors. Make sure each sensor is set to a different channel (1, 2 or 3) via the CHANNEL button.

How to set the clock manually?

First disable radio reception (hold +). Then hold MODE to enter settings: time zone, 12/24h format, hours, minutes, year, calendar mode and language. Use + or - to change and MODE to confirm.

What does the frost LED indicator mean?

If channel 1 sensor detects a temperature between -2°C and 3°C, the LED flashes to warn of frost risk. It stops as soon as the temperature leaves this range.

How to clean the device?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the screen and housing. Never use solvents or abrasive products. Never immerse the device in water.

What to do if the sensor is not detected?

Check that the sensor batteries are properly installed and that the channel is correct. Hold + on the main unit to start a search. Move away from interference sources and bring the sensor closer if necessary.
