The WS-2700 weather station consists of a display
console (receiver) and a thermo-hygrometer sensor.
Note: The power up sequence must be performed
in the order shown in this section (remote transmitter
first, display console second) to properly synchronize the
remote sensor to the console.

1. BEFORE inserting the batteries, switch the
channel switch to the appropriate channel. If
you have one sensor, set the switch to Channel 1.
If you have two sensors, set the second sensor to
Channel 2. If you own three sensors, set the
third sensor to Channel 3.
2. To change the temperature units of measure,
press the ºC/ºF button.
3. Insert two AA batteries.
4. After inserting the batteries, the remote sensor
will display temperature and humidity and
channel number on the display, as shown in
Figure 3.

Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold
weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient
for most climates. We do not recommend
rechargeable batteries. They have lower voltages, do
not operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do
not last as long, resulting in poorer reception.
Note: If the incorrect channel number is selected,
change the channel number switch on the back of
the sensor, and remove and reinsert the batteries for
the change to take effect.
