1. First, insert the batteries to the transmitter (see “How to install and replace

batteries in the Temperature transmitter” below).

2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries to the

Temperature Station (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Temperature station” below). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature, the Weather girl icon and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step.55

3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start receiving data

signal from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the Temperature station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under

good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the Temperature Station and the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception”). When more than one transmitter is to be used

1. User shall remove all the batteries from the temperature station and transmitters

and wait 60 seconds if setting has been done with one transmitter before.56

2. Insert the batteries to the first transmitter.

3. Within 30 seconds of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries to the

Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature, the Weather girl icon and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.

4. The outdoor temperature from the first transmitter (channel 1) should then be

displayed on the Temperature station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

5. Insert the batteries to the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperature

readings from the first transmitter are displayed on the temperature station.57

Note: User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 10 seconds of reception of the first transmitter.

should then be displayed on the Temperature station. If this does not happen after 2 minute, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.

7. Insert the batteries to the third transmitter as soon as the "channel 2" icon and

outdoor data are displayed on the temperature station. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third transmitter will be displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third transmitter is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.58

Note: User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 10 seconds of reception of the second transmitter.

8. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this

should under good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the Temperature Station and the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception”). IMPORTANT: Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional transmitters is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the set-up from step 1.59 HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION The Temperature Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER The Temperature transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. When batteries will need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD of the Temperature Station. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see

3. Replace the battery holder to the unit.61

Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setup procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Temperature Station in the first few minutes of power supplying. BATTERY CHANGE: It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units.

Note: The daily minimum temperature record is reset automatically at 8:00 pm and the daily maximum temperature is reset automatically at 8:00 am every day. 868 MHz RECEPTION CHECK The Temperature Station should receive the outdoor temperature data within a few minutes after setup. If the temperature data are not received about 2 minutes after setup (the signal reception icon does not appear), please check the following points:

1. The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitter should be at least 1.5 to

2 meters away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV75 sets.

2. Avoid positioning the Temperature 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 (868MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.

4. Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the 868MHz signal frequency

can also cause interference. Note: When the 868MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or the Temperature Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. If this happens accidentally, all units must be reset (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.76 The transmission range is about 100 m from the transmitter to the Temperature 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 Setting up above).77 POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION: The Temperature Station comes attached with a table stand, which provides the option of table standing the unit in addition to wall mounting. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values can be received from the desired locations.78 To wall mount:

1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the

head extended out by about 5mm.

2. Hang the Temperature Station onto the screw. Remember to

ensure that it locks into place before releasing.79 POSITIONING THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER: The remote temperature transmitter can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base.80 To wall mount:

1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws

and plastic anchors.

2. Clip the remote temperature transmitter onto the

bracket. Note: The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If, for instance, the unit 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,81 double glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the Temperature Station can receive the 868MHz signal from the temperature transmitter at the positions that you wish to place them. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Extreme temperatures, vibrations and shocks should be avoided as these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings. When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings. Do not submerge the units in water. Furthermore, fix all parts in place where the units are adequately protected against moisture and rain.82 Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries of the recommended type. Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their guarantee. Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
