User Manual
1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Gblife TS-8210 Colorful LCD Wireless Professional Weather
Station with Thermo-hygrometer .The following user guide provides step by step instructions for
installation, operation and troubleshooting.
2. Getting Started
Note: In order to enable better and faster matching of indoor and outdoor signals, please turn on
the remote sensor first, then the indoor weather station. If you turn on the base station first, the
outdoor data will not display properly, please long press CHANNEL/+ button to receive the
outdoor signal manually.
NOTE: This weather station can only match and display one outdoor sensor, multi-channel
switching is not supported.
2.1 Remote Sensor Set Up
Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the
batteries.
Figure 1
Push the battery cover away in the direction of the indicated arrow, as shown in Figure 1. Insert
two fresh AAA batteries (with the negative terminal of the battery in contact with each spring).
Lithium batteries are recommended for cold weather environments. Close the battery cover. The
LED shown in Figure 1. will light up (visible through the plastic).

2.2.2 Indoor Machine Initial Set Up
NOTE: The weather station can be powered by 3*AAA batteries(not inclueded) or a USB
cable(included).
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit as shown in Figure 3.
2. Insert three AAA batteries in the back of the unit. The machine will beep once and all of the
LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly. The
screen will cycle through a spectrum of colors.

Figure 3
The screen will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, pressure, weather tendency, and
time. The outdoor temperature and humidity will update on the display within a few minutes. Do
not touch any menu buttons until the outside transmitter reports in, otherwise the outdoor sensor
search mode will be terminated(While in the search mode, the remote search icon will be
constantly displayed). When the outdoor transmitter data has been received, the screen will
automatically switch to the normal mode from which all further settings can be well performed.
The USB power cord is to used to connect with USB power adaptor as shown in Figure 4.

3. Remote Sensor Installation
It is recommended that you mount the remote sensor outside in a shaded area. A north facing wall
is preferred because it is in the shade most of the day. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will
result in inaccurate temperature readings.
Although the sensor is water resistant, it is best to mount in a well protected area, such as under an
eve. Use a screw or nail (not included) to affix the remote sensor to the wall as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5
4. Low Battery Icon
A low battery indicator icon will be shown on the screen when the remote sensor battery is about
to run out. When the icon appears (the battery voltage is lower than 2.4V), replace the batteries
in the sensor with fresh batteries. Be sure to never mix old and new batteries, and never mix
battery types such as alkaline and lithium together.

6. Other Display Features
The following section describes additional features and display icons
6.1 Weather Forecasting

Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric
pressure. generally, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy)
and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain).
The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48
hours, and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather
conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.
6.2 Weather Icons
The following icons are displayed based on the rate of change threshold.
Condition
Icon
Description
Sunny
Pressure is rising and the
previous condition is partly
cloudy.
Partly Cloudy
Pressure is falling and the
previous condition is sunny or
Pressure is rising and the
previous condition is cloudy.
Cloudy
Pressure is falling and the
previous condition is partly
cloudy or
Pressure is rising and the
previous condition is rainy.
Rainy
Pressure is falling and the
previous condition is cloudy.

Storm
Pressure is falling and the
previous condition is rainy.
Cloudy and rainy icon will be
flashing
6.3 Storm Threshold Indicator
The storm threshold (the negative rate of pressure change signifying a storm is expected) can be
adjusted from 3 mbar/hour to level 9 mbar/hour (the default level 4 mbar/hour). The lower the
level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for weather forecast changes. Locations that
experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting compared to locations where
the air pressure is typically stagnant.
When negative rate of change of pressure is exceeded for three hours, the storm warning indicator
will be activated, and the clouds with rain icon will flash for three hours, indicating the storm
warning feature is active.
6.4 Pressure Threshold Setting
The pressure threshold (the negative or positive rate of change of pressure signifying a change in
the weather) can be adjusted from 2 mbar/hour to 4 mbar/hour (default level 2 mbar/hour).
The lower the level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for weather forecast changes.
Locations that experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting compared to
locations where the air pressure is typically stagnant.
