INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting Wi-fi weather station with 6-in-1 professional sensor. This system
gathers and automatically uploads accurate and detailed weather data to Weather
Underground website - the famous weather service which allows weather observers to upload
their local weather data with automated personal weather stations (PWS) - at which you can
access and upload your weather data freely . This product offers professional weather observers
or serious weather enthusiasts robust performance with a wide range of options and sensors .
You will get your own local forecast, high/lows, totals or averages and graphs for virtually all
weather variables without using a PC .
Wi-fi Weather Station includes a 6-in-1 wireless outdoor sensor which transmits outdoor
temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall and UV with solar power . Also,
the included wireless indoor sensor, which can add to a sensor array of maximum 7 units,
transmits your indoor temperature & humidity to the console . Both sensors are fully assembled
and calibrated for your easy installation . They send data at a low power radio frequency to the
console from up to 150m/450 feet away (line of sight) .
In the main console, a high-speed processor is embedded to analyze the received weather
data and these real-time data can be published to Wunderground.com through your home
Wi-fi router. The console can also synchronize with internet time server to keep the time and
weather data time stamp of high precision . The wide-viewing-angled with high-contrasted
LCD display shows informative weather readings with advanced features, such as high/low
alert alarm, different weather index, multi-functional bar chart and MAX/MIN records . With the
built-in sunrise/sunset and moon phase feature, this system is truly a remarkably personal yet
professional weather station for your own backyard .
Note:
This instruction manual contains useful information on the proper use and care of this product .
Please read this manual through to fully understand and enjoy its features, and keep it handy
