WHEN ONE TRANSMITTER IS USED

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

replace batteries in the Thermo-hygro outdoor transmitter” above).

2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries in

the Weather Station (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Weather Station” above). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Following the indoor temperature/humidity and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If these information are not displayed on the 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.

3. After the batteries are inserted, the Weather station will start receiving

data signal from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and humidity data should then be displayed on the Weather 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 915 MHz transmission however, the

distance between the Weather Station and the transmitter should not be more than 330 feet (100 meters) (see notes on “Positioning” and “915 MHz Reception”). Note: In the event of changing batteries of the units, ensure the batteries do not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at least 1 minute after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur. WHEN MORE THAN ONE TRANSMITTER IS USED

1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Weather Station and

transmitters, and wait 60 seconds.

2. Insert the batteries in the first transmitter.

3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first transmitter, insert the

batteries in the Weather Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tine will sound. Following the indoor temperature/humidity and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If these information are not displayed on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries from both units and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.

4. The outdoor temperature and humidity data from the first transmitter

(channel 1) should then be displayed on the Weather 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 units24 and reset from step 1.

5. Insert the batteries in the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor

temperature and humidity readings from the first transmitter are displayed on the Weather Station. Note : User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 45 seconds after the Weather Station displays the information of the first transmitter.

6. The outdoor temperature and humidity from the second transmitter

and the "channel 2" icon should then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.

7. Insert the batteries in the third transmitter as soon as the "channel 2"

icon and outdoor data are displayed on the Weather 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. Note : User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 45 seconds after the Weather Station displays the information of the first transmitter. Or immediately after reception of the second transmitter is finished.

8. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, the

distance between the Weather Station and the transmitter should not be more than 330 feet (100 meters) (see notes on “Positioning” and “915 MHz Reception”). IMPORTANT: Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors 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. Note:

• If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency of 915MHz for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried for another 45 seconds. If it is still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done during re-synchronization.

• When the weather station is receiving the WWVB time signal, the outdoor transmitter data signal will temporarily not be received by the weather station. During this short period of time, the outdoor readings shown on the weather station will not be renewed until the WWVB time signal is successfully received.25 TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION The Weather Station uses 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Insert finger or other solid object in

the space at the bottom center of the battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.

2. Insert batteries observing the correct

polarity (see marking).

3. Replace compartment cover.

TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE THERMO- HYGRO TRANSMITTER The Thermo-hygro transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC, LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the cover.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is due to a random security code assigned by the transmitter at start-up. This code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to the transmitter. BATTERY CHANGE: It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units (Battery life see Specifications below). Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorized depot. RESETTING The Weather Station and the Thermo-hygro transmitter need to be reset when one of the following conditions occur:

• Unsuccessful 915MHz signal reception.26

• Malfunction on the units.

• Batteries replacement. For resetting, remove all batteries from the units. Wait at least for 1 minute before powering up the Weather station again. Proceed from step 1 in “Setting Up”. ATOMIC TIME - WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The wireless weather station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station receives the time data from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more detail, visit http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.htm. To listen to the NIST time, call [phone]. This number will connect you to an automated time, announced at the top of the minute in “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time does not follow Daylight Saving Time changes. After the top of the minute, a tone will sound for every second. It is possible that your wireless weather station will not be exactly on the second due to the variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the course of several days to be very accurate; under 0.10 seconds per day.

WEATHER FORECAST AND WEATHER TENDENCY: WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS: Weather icons in the third section of LCD can be displayed in any of the following combinations:

Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes. The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy. Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. 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 for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny). If the Weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), discard the weather forecast for the next 12-2437 hours. By doing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.

WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR

Working together with the weather icons is the weather tendency indicators (located on the left and right sides of the weather icons). When the indicator points upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse. Taking this into account, one can see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards. Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD.

AIR PRESSURE HISTORY (ELECTRONIC BAROMETER WITH

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE TREND) The third section of the LCD also shows the relative air pressure value and the air pressure history.

The bar chart indicates the air pressure history trend over the last 24 hours in 7 steps, 0h, -3h, -6h, -9h, -12h, -18h, and -24h. The “0h” represents the current full hour air pressure recording. The columns represent the “hPa” (0, ±2, ±4, ±6) at specific time. The “0” in the middle of this scale is equal to the current pressure and each change (±2, ±4, ±6) represents how high or low in “hPa“ the past pressure was compared to the current pressure. If the bars are rising it means that the weather is getting better due to the increase of air pressure. If the bars go down, it means the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse from the present time “0h“. Note: For accurate barometric pressure trends, the Weather Station should operate at the same altitude for example, it should not be moved from the Air pressure over the last 24 hours38 ground to the second floor of the house. Should the unit be moved to a new location, discard readings for the next 12-24 hours.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY DATA

The fourth LCD section shows the outdoor temperature and humidity, the reception indicator, the transmitter identification number and the MIN/MAX outdoor data.

1. To toggle between the outdoor current, MAX/MIN temperature and

humidity data and the times (for temperature data only) they were recorded press the OUT/+ key: Once to show the MAX outdoor temperature and humidity data with the recorded time and date. Twice to show the MIN outdoor temperature and humidity data with the recorded time and date. Three times to return to the current displayed values.

2. Once the MIN or MAX data is displayed, press and hold the SET key

for 3 seconds to reset the respective MIN or MAX record to current temperature and humidity data, and current time, date display. Note: The MIN or MAX data needs to be reset individually. TO VIEW THE MIN/MAX DATA FROM DIFFERENT TRANSMITTERS When more than 1 transmitter used:

1. To toggle between transmitters, press the SNOOZE/CH key:

Once to show transmitter 2 Twice to show transmitter 3 Three times to return to transmitter 1

2. Use OUT/+ key to view the MIN/MAX temperature and humidity data

for the selected transmitter.

3. To reset the minimum and maximum temperature and humidity data,

and the times at which they were recorded, press the SET key continuously for about 3 seconds. This will reset the MIN/MAX data recorded to the current time, date, temperature and humidity. The current time taken is the normal displayed time and does not regard the time zone set for the unit. Note: the MIN/MAX data for each transmitter needs to be reset separately.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the batteries require changing.

ABOUT THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER

The range of the Thermo-hygro transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when positioning the transmitters. Also the batteries may be reduced in power for the Thermo-hygro transmitter. CHECKING FOR 915MHz RECEPTION If the outdoor temperature and humidity data are not being received within three minutes after setting up (or outdoor display always show “- -. -” in the outdoor section of the Weather station during normal operation), please check the following points:

1. The distance of the Weather station or transmitters should be at least

6 feet (2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.

2. Avoid placing the transmitters onto or in the immediate proximity of

metal window frames.

3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers

operating on the 915MHz-signal frequency may prevent correct signal transmission or reception. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz-signal frequency can also cause interference. Note: When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or Weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see “Setting up” above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is around 330 feet (100 meters) from the Thermo- hygro transmitter to the Weather 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).40 POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION: The weather station has been designed to be hang on a wall or free standing. For free standing: Simply attached the stand to the bottom of the unit and place onto a flat surface.

To wall mount Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature and humidity values can be received from the desired locations. To wall mount:

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

leaving the head extended out the by about 0.2” (5mm).

2. Hang it onto the screw. Remember to ensure that

it locks into place before releasing.

POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER

The thermo-hygro transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The sensor can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the sensor.

screws and plastic anchors.

2. Clip the sensor onto the bracket.

Note: Before permanently fixing the sensor wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor41 temperature and humidity readings are receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the sensor(s) or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception. CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

• Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.

SETTING UP: When one Sensor is used

1. First, insert the batteries into the temperature sensor. (see “Install and replace

batteries in the temperature sensor“).

2. Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Temperature

Station (see “Install and replace batteries in the Temperature Station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the

time as 12:00 and the indoor temperature will be displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds before reinserting them.

3. After inserting the batteries into the sensor, the Temperature Station will start

receiving data from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 5 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, there should be no more

than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).

5. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Temperature

Station, the WWVB time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions—but may take up to 4 nights. When more than one sensor is to be used

1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Temperature Station and sensors and

wait 60 seconds if setting has been done with one sensor before.

2. Insert the batteries to the first sensor.

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

Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will8 light up briefly. Following time as 12:00 and the indoor temperature 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 sensor (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 battery into the second sensor immediately after (within 10 seconds after)

the reading form the first sensor is shown on LCD.

6. The outdoor temperature from the second sensor and the "channel 2" icon 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 into the third sensor immediately after (within 10 seconds after)

ithe reading from the second sensor is shown on LCD.

8. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third sensor will be

displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third sensor is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step

9. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be a distance of no

more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).9 Note:

• Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and follow the set-up from step 1.

• If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried for another 45 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-synchronization.

10. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Temperature

Station, the WWVB time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions. IMPORTANT:

• Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and follow the set-up from step 1.

• If after 10 minutes, the Atomic auto-set time (WWVB time) has not been received, press the SET key to manually enter a time initially.

• Daily WWVB reception is attempted at full hour between 12:00 am to 6:00 am. If thereception is successful, there will no reception attempt until the following day. When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time. (Please refer also to notes on “Atomic auto-set time - WWVB Radio controlled Time” and “Manual Time Setting”). BATTERY INSTALLATION INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION The Temperature Station uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the cover at the back of the Temperature Station.

2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Replace compartment cover.

The temperature sensor uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V battery. 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 cover on the unit.

Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the sensor at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Temperature Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it BATTERY CHANGE: It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units (Battery life see Specifications below).12

Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Temperature Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The wireless weather station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station receives the time data from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more detail, visit http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.htm. To listen to the NIST time, call [phone]. This number will connect you to an automated time, announced at the top of the minute in “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time does not follow Daylight Saving Time changes. After the top of the minute, a tone will sound for every second. It is possible that your17 Wireless Temperature Station may not be exactly on the second due to the variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the course of several days to be very accurate; under 0.10 seconds per day.

If the temperature data is not received 5 minutes after setting up (not successfully continuously, the outdoor display shows “- - -” ), please check the following points:

1. The distance of the Temperature Station or sensor should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet

(1.5 to 2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV 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 (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.

4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can

also cause interference. Note: When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the sensor or Temperature Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting upabove) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is about 330 feet (100 m) from the sensor 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). MOUNTING POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION: The Temperature Station has been designed to be hung onto wall or free standing. To wall mount Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values can be received from the desired locations.

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

extended out the by about 5mm.

2. Remove the stand from the Temperature Station by pulling it

away from the base and hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.Free standing With the stand, the Temperature Station can be placed onto any flat surface.

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR: The sensor is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The sensor can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the sensor.

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

2. Clip the sensor onto the bracket.

Note: Before permanently fixing the sensor wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the sensors or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.
