1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of our Wireless weather station with WiFi connection. The
following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation and
troubleshooting.
2. Warnings and Cautions
Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station
mounting pole. Never install the weather station in a storm.
Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may result in injury or death.
Perform as much of the initial check out and operation on the ground and inside a building or
home. Only install the weather station on a clear, dry day.
3. Quick Start Guide
Although the manual is comprehensive, much of the information contained may be intuitive. In
addition, the manual does not flow properly because the sections are organized by
components.
The following Quick Start Guide provides only the necessary steps to install, operate the
weather station, and upload to the internet, along with references to the pertinent sections.

4.2 Outdoor Thermo-hygrometer Sensor Set Up
Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the
batteries.
Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor. Insert two AA batteries.
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.
Replace the battery door. Note that the temperature and humidity will be displayed on the LCD
display. Looking at the back of the unit from left to right, the polarity is (-) (+) for the top battery
and (+) (-) for the bottom battery.
Note: the humidity is only displayed on outdoor thermo-hygrometer sensor

4.3 Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Note: To insure proper communication, mount the remote sensor(s) upright on a vertical
surface, such as a wall. Do not lay the sensor flat.
Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We
recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication.
1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from
computer monitors and TVs.
2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433 MHz devices and
communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting
purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent
communication.
3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference,
barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world
installations, which include passing through barriers or walls.
4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum
siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a
clear line of sight.
The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or
obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.
Medium RF Signal Strength Reduction
Glass (untreated) 5-15%
Plastics 10-15%
Wood 10-40%
Brick 10-40%
Concrete 40-80%
Metal 90-100%
4.4 Display console

5
1. Insert the 5V DC adaptor into the back of the display console
Note: Place the outdoor sensor array about 5 to 10 feet from the display console and wait
several minutes for the remote sensors to synchronize with the display console.
2. Insert 2AAA batteries into the display console (optional).
3. Keep both sensor and the display console together for 3 minutes to lock in the sensor
signals.
4. After 3 minutes, follow the mounting instructions for proper placement of sensors.
Note: Your display console should have readings in all sections.
Note: If you only use battery to power up display console, you must press LIGHT/SNOOZE key
to light up the LCD before press any other key.
