K.S plastic factory Guan Lan / Shen Shen / China Eliminate le batterie usate in modo sicuro ed ecologico.57 58 INTRODUCTION Thank you for your purchase of the RCW416. The basic package comes with a main unit, which is the weather forecast station, a remote unit that is the thermo-hygrometer and the AC/DC adaptor. The main unit is capable of keeping track of maximum and minimum temperature of different sites. And no wire installation is required and operates at 433 MHz. The packaging consists of: - Main Unit - Outdoor Thermo-hygrometer sensor - AC-adaptor - Instruction Manual RADIO CONTROLLED WALL CLOCK

MAIN FEATURES: REMOTE UNIT

Flashes once when the remote unit transmits a reading Flashes twice when low battery is detected on sensor unit

B BATTERY COMPARTMENT

Accommodates two AA-size batteries

Press to reset all setting if you have selected different channel.

Select the channel before you install batteries.

E WALL-MOUNT RECESSED HOLE

Supports the remote until in wall-mounting

1. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for

2. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective

transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is 20 to 30 meters. Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building materials and where the main and remote units are positioned. Try various set-ups for best result. Though the remote units are weather proof, they should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT

1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.

2. Select the channel

3. Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly

according to the polarities shown.

4. Replace the battery compartment door and secure

To install 2 batteries (UM-3 or AA size 1.5V) strictly into the main unit and plug the AC-adaptor to give power to the main unit as well, you will see the display is lighted up.

When it is time to replace batteries for the remote sensor, the respective low battery indicator will show up on display. In addition, the low battery indicator will show up on the Main Unit display for this specified Remote Sensor Unit.

When the battery power is not enough, there is a battery icon will be shown on the display, so we need to use the new batteries. If the AC-adaptor cannot connect to the Main Unit properly, or the AC-adaptor is removed out of the Main Unit, the icon will be shown on display.

a. Once batteries are in place for the remote unit, they will start transmitting temperature and humidity readings at around 45 seconds intervals. The main unit will also start searching for signals for about two minutes once batteries are installed. 10 seconds upon successful reception, the outdoors temperatures and humidity will be displayed .The main unit will automatically update its readings at about 45-second intervals. b. If no signals are received, blanks “ ” will be displayed. Hold [ SEARCH ] for 2 seconds to enforce another search for about 2 minutes. This is useful in synchronizing the transmission and reception of the remote and main units. c. When remote signal reception is finished, it will automatically synchronize its current time and dated when brought within rang of the “DCF” RF signal. Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between the reading shown on the main unit and that on the remote unit.

The comfort level indicators COM, WET or DRY will tell you if the current environment is comfortable, too wet, or too dry. The comfort indicators will appear on the display of the Main Unit when the following conditions are satisfied:

HOW TO SET THE ZONE TIME

1. To set the zone time,

2. Press [MODE] until at zone time display mode

which there is a ‘ZONE’ icon on LCD display,

3. Hold [MODE] for two seconds, the zone time

offset will be displayed.

4. Enter the offset using [ + ] or [ – ].

5. Press [MODE] to exit.

HOW TO SET THE ALARM

There are total two alarms, namely alarm 1 and alarm 2 which can be operated by press [AL. 1] an [AL. 2] respectively. The alarm setting procedure is listed as below. SETTING ALARM 1

2. Press [ + ] or [ – ] to turn on / off the alarm function.

3. Press and Hold [AL. 1] button until the hour for

4. Set the hour by press [ + ] or [ – ], and then press

[AL. 1] button to confirm.

5. Then, to set the minute by press [ + ] or [ – ], and

then press [AL.1] button to confirm.

6. If you would like to leave the alarm display and

show calendar, press [MODE] to show calendar. If you would like to switch to alarm 1 display, press [AL.1] button. TRANSMISSION COLLISION Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of this product and cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal and does not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of temperature readings will resume once the interference recedes. HOW TO SET THE RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK

1. After the batteries are installed. The clock will

automatically search the radio signal. It takes about 3-5 minutes to finish this process.

2. If user wishs to disable the auto-reception feature,

hold the [ + ] button for 2 seconds to disable it.

3. To enable the auto-reception feature again, holds the

[ + ] for 2 seconds again to force it receive and allow it receive at desired time.

4. If the radio signal is received, the date & time will be set

automatically with radio control signal icon [ ] turns on.

5. If the clock fails to receive the time signal, it will be show

as [ ] icon. Then user can set the time manually.

HOW TO SET THE CLOCK MANUALLY

To set the clock manually, hold [MODE] for two seconds it will show the display language. Use [ + ] or [ – ] to change it. Press [MODE] to confirm. Repeat the same procedure to set year, month, date, 12/24 hour format, hour and minute. During the setting, use [ + ] or [ – ] will increase or decrease the value rapidly. For display language, you are able to select English (En), German (DE), French (Fr), Italian (IT), Spanish (SP) and Dutch (DU). If there is an item you do not need to change, simply press [MODE] to bypass the item. When you finished the change, press [MODE] to exit. The display will return to the clock mode.
