BEFORE YOU BEGIN
•We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote temperature
and humidity sensor and the main unit when temperatures are above
32°F (0°C). We recommend using lithium batteries for the remote
sensor when temperatures are below 32°F (0°C)
•Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot
maintain correct power requirements)
•ALWAYS install batteries in the remote sensor before the main unit
•Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery
compartment
•Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if any)
•During an initial setup, place the remote sensor close to the main unit
•After reception is established (all remote readings will appear on the
main unit’s display), position the remote sensor and the main unit
within the effective transmission range of 100 feet (30 meters).Ideally it
should be placed within the line of sight from the main unit.
•Transmission/reception range may be affected by trees, metal
structures and electronic appliances, by surrounding building materials
and the way how the receiver (main unit) and transmitter (remote
sensor) are positioned.
•The main unit must be placed indoors.
•Place the remote sensor so that it faces the main unit (receiver),
minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls and furniture.
NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in the
outdoor remote sensor may have reduced voltage supply and a shorter
effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures of
32°F (0°C) and below.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that remote sensor is easily accessible for cleaning

5 5
and maintenance.
We recommend cleaning the remote sensor periodically, as the dirt and debris
may affect sensor accuracy.

OPERATION
The weather forecaster is designed to measure local pressure and calculate
the other two parameters based on the Local Pressure. Sea Level Pressure
and Altitude are interdependent. If you adjust altitude, it will calculate sea level
pressure, if you adjust sea level pressure, it will automatically calculate altitude.
You can only adjust one of the two – either sea level barometric pressure or
altitude.
If you wish to know pressure changes at your specific location (house), the
LOCAL barometric pressure should be selected In this case, the local
altitude/elevation must be programmed according to GPS readings, Internet,
etc.
If you wish to know pressure changes in your surrounding metro area, then

13 13
SEA LEVEL barometric pressure option should be selected. In this case, the
SEA LEVEL barometric pressure value can be adjusted according to the local
metro area weather information. (Sources – local TV or radio station, etc).
NOTE: Locate your altitude with a portable GPS receiver or topographical
map .Locate barometric pressure at: http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/ccus.html
or, alternatively, from local radio or TV weather channels.
Once the main unit is powered, the display will show all available LCD
segments for a moment
IMPORTANT:All of the display functions will be locked, allowing setting
pressure parameters and your local altitude. The locked display will show the
abbreviation “hPa/mBar” flashing in the Pressure Mode, indoor temperature
and humidity readings in Temperature/Humidity Mode, default time in Clock
Mode and a default date in the Alarm/Calendar Mode.
If the pressure and altitude are not configured during this time, the unit will
self-calibrate in a few minutes and show the default settings for the pressure
and altitude (sea level) and the remote sensor reading.
NOTE: This is the only time when you can enter/adjust your local altitude
units and value.
To set the pressure & altitude units and program your altitude, use the main unit
buttons located on the back:
•Press UP or DOWN button on the back of the unit selecting the
pressure in inHg or hPa/mBar
•Press UNIT button to confirm and move to the altitude unit selection
mode
•Press UP or DOWN button selecting the altitude unit in feet or meters.

feet (30 meters)
•The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the distance if
necessary.
•Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor and main
unit.
If there is no reception, please perform the following steps:
20
•Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.
•Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the remote sensor with
small Phillips screwdriver, and open the battery compartment.
•Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and reinstall them
in the same manner. Remote sensor LED indicator will flash showing
transmission of the signal.
•Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in the same
manner.
•On the main unit select the same channel number using CHANNEL
button as set on the remote sensor. The remote temperature and
humidity appeared on the main unit’s display will show that
transmission is being received successfully.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from the other household devices such as wireless doorbells, home
security systems, and entry control, may interfere with this product or cause
temporary reception interruption. This is normal and will not affect the general
performance of the product. The transmission and reception of the temperature
and humidity readings will resume once the interference subsides.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station
(WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal
continuously throughout the most of the continental United States at 60 KHz
frequency. The Barometric Weather Forecaster can receive this WWVB signal
through the 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 receives the

21 21
atomic time signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio signal
reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time
and date are not set automatically, please consider the following:
•During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less
severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception
is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.
•Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance from any
interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.
•Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, the
received signal may be weakened. Always place the Weather
Forecaster near the window for better reception.
ATOMIC CLOCK
Immediately after establishing communication between the main unit and
remote sensor, the atomic time signal receiver will open and start to search for
the atomic time signal. The search usually takes between 5-8 minutes.
NOTE: Do not press any buttons on the main unit during auto search as it
may interrupt product’s operation, and you will need to start set up
procedure again.
Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set
automatically, and the [ ] icon will appear.
NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, having in mind that the
default zone is a US Pacific Standard Time (PST). (Refer to MANUAL
SETTINGS section)
If the time signal has not been received in 8 minutes, you may use the MODE
button to set the time and date manually. (Refer to the MANUAL SETTINGS
section).
22
After the clock is set manually, place the Weather Forecaster by the window for
the better reception. The atomic clock receiver is programmed that it will
continue to search for the atomic time signal daily for every hour between 1:00
am and 4:30 am.
Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and date will be
updated automatically.
TIME AND CALENDAR DISPLAY MODES
The Barometric Weather Forecaster displays current time in two display
modes – in hour-minutes-seconds format and in hour-minutes-day.
