3. Replace the battery compartment door.
CHECKING REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURES
The wave icon on the main unit's display located near the
remote sensor reading line, indicates a good reception from
the remote sensor. If the temperature goes above or below the
temperature operating range stated in specifications, the
display will show dashes “ ”
LOW BATTERY WARNING
A low-battery indicator [ ] will appear on the indoor or
remote temperature reading line of the main unit warning that
the corresponding batteries need replacement.
HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND
The main unit has a removable table stand,
which supports the unit on the flat surface. The main unit can
also be mounted on the wall using the recessed screw hole.
The stand must be removed prior to mounting. The remote
sensor can be similarly mounted or placed on a flat surface.
GETTING STARTED
After batteries are installed, remote sensors will transmit
temperature readings at 45 second intervals. The main unit
may take up to 2 (two) minutes to receive the initial readings.
Upon successful reception, remote temperature will be
displayed. Then the main unit will automatically update
readings at 45-second intervals.
If no signals are received from the remote sensor(s) within
(2) two minutes, dashes “ ” will be displayed.
Press and hold [ ] button on the main unit for 2 seconds

READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the main unit (receiver)
signal reception strength.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
radio station is located in Ft. Collins Colorado. It transmits
an exact time signal continuously throughout the continental
United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Weather Forecaster
can receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna
from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s
ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours.
The radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station
that derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder,
Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the main unit’s display will flash
indicating radio signal reception from the WWVB station.
If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time is not set
automatically, please consider the following:
* During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are
 typically less severe and reception may improve.
 A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep
 the accuracy reading within 1 second.
* Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet minimum
 distance from any interference source such as a TV,
 computer monitor, microwave, etc. The successful reception
 of the atomic time signal depends on the positioning and
 location of the clock. Always place the main unit by the
 window for better reception.
* Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office
 buildings, the received signal may be weakened.
 Always place the unit near the window.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
The maximum and minimum record of the indoor/outdoor
temperature and humidity will be automatically stored
in the memory of the main unit (receiver). Main unit
will display the minimum, maximum and the current reading
upon each press of MEM button. The unit will return to the
current temperature display in 15 seconds.
To clear the memory, press and hold MEM button and
stored readings will be erased.
TEMPERATURE TRENDS
The temperature trend indicator shows the trend of
temperatures collected at particular remote sight. There are
three trends will be shown: rising, steady, and falling.
The unit is in searching mode.
