1. Open the battery compartment (26) on the back of weather station
and insert 3-AAA batteries with correct polarity (+ / -).
2. Insert the power cord into the socket (25) of the weather station and
into a wall outlet.
3. Open the battery compartment (29) of the wireless sensor and insert
2-AA batteries with correct polarity (+ / -).
4. Adjust time, date, and other settings on your weather station.
1. Power up the weather station.
2. Insert the batteries to the wireless sensor and use CH channel
selector (28) to choose a channel number (1, 2, or 3).
The weather station will search RF signal for 3 minutes automatically
when it is plugged in. Then, it will continue to search for RCC signal
for time calibration.
3. Short press the ▼ button (23) to select the channel number that has
been set on the wireless sensor in the previous step. The icon of
channel number flashes in sequence of 1, 2, and 3.
4. Long press the ▼ button to make the weather station search for
signals sent from the outdoor sensor for 3 minutes. Sensor Strength
icon will change as follow: .
5. Once the sensor connects with the weather station, place the sensor
in a shaded location (please follow the guidelines listed in PLACING
YOUR WEATHER STATION & WIRELESS SENSOR).
5. When the weather station connects with the sensor successfully, it
will display four signal bars .
You can follow the steps above when you first connect the sensor
with the weather station or when the weather station loses signals
of the sensor.
If you are seeing dashes (indicating signal of the sensor is not
received) in place of outdoor temperature, first check batteries in
the sensor. Then repeat the steps above.
If sensor signal is lost for once, the number of signal bars will
decrease .
If sensor signal is lost for over 1 hours, the sensor signal will flash.
If sensor signal is lost for over 2 hours, the weather station will
automatically search for signals every hour.
Keep the weather station away from direct sunlight and any heat
sources.
The maximum distance between the weather station and the
wireless sensor is 98 feet (30m).
The clock starts receiving RCC signal automatically after the weath-
er station connects with the sensor. The screen will go dark during
this procedure.
Please make sure you have selected the correct time zone from the
list in the Settings Menu. When the RCC time signal is received, the
station will set to the time zone selected. Default is Eastern Time.
From normal time display, long press the ▲ button (22) to search for
the RCC time signal.
The radio will search for time signal at 1:00 (compulsory), 2:00
(compulsory), 3:00 (compulsory), 4:00 (alternative), 5:00 (alterna-
tive) a.m. every day.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
WEATHER FORECAST ICONS
Batteries are designed to prevent losing settings of weather station
during a power outage.
When the weather station operates on batteries, the screen will not
stay lit. For daily use, please plug in your weather station to keep
the screen light up.
When the low battery indicator shows next to the outdoor tempera-
ture, replace batteries in your outdoor sensor.
When low battery indicator shows next to your indoor temperature,
replace batteries in your station.
The unit predicts weather conditions for the next 12 – 24 hours
based on the change of atmospheric pressure and the weather
forecast is about 70-75% correct.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Do not place the weather station near wet areas in case of hazards
and injuries.
Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to
battery installation.
Ensure the batteries are installed with correct polarity (+ and -).
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Replace all batteries of a set simultaneously.
Remove batteries from both your weather station and outdoor
sensor, if they are not to be used for an extended period of time.
Atmospheric pressure unit is hPa or inHg. The units are adjustable
in the Setting Menu.
Please place the weather station in a ventilated area (windows,
doors, a porch or balcony, etc.) and allow it to learn for barometric
calibration. This will help the station to provide personal forecast
that is relatively accurate for your location.
Forecast Icons: Sunny, Partly Sunny, Cloudy, Rain, Storms and
Snow.
Temperature range: 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C)
Humidity range: 1% to 95%
Frequency of updates: 30 seconds
If the current temperature exceeds 122°F, the weather station will
display HI; if the current temperature is below 32°F, the weather station
will show LO.
When the weather station is in ALARM mode or receiving RCC/RF
signals, it will stop updating indoor temperature and humidity readings.
From the normal time display, short press the ▲ button to check the
Max / Min readings of indoor temperature & humidity (17).
The clock will beep for 2 minutes at the alarm time you've set. The
alarm icon keeps flashing while beeping.
