SETTING UP:
When one Sensor is used
1. First, insert the batteries into the temperature sensor. (see “Install and replace
batteries in the temperature sensor“).
2. Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Temperature
Station (see “Install and replace batteries in the Temperature Station”). Once
the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the
6

7
time as 12:00 and the indoor temperature will be displayed. If these are not
displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds
before reinserting them.
3. After inserting the batteries into the sensor, the Temperature Station will start
receiving data from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception
icon should then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen
after 5 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from
step 1.
4. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, there should be no more
than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature Station and
the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).
5. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Temperature
Station, the WWVB time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically
between 3-5 minutes in good conditions—but may take up to 4 nights.
When more than one sensor is to be used
1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Temperature Station and sensors and
wait 60 seconds if setting has been done with one sensor before.
2. Insert the batteries to the first sensor.
3. Within 30 seconds of powering up the first sensor, insert the batteries into to the
Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will

8
light up briefly. Following time as 12:00 and the indoor temperature will be displayed.
If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at
least 60 seconds before reinserting them.
4. The outdoor temperature from the first sensor (channel 1) should then be displayed
on the Temperature Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this
does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both
units and reset from step 1.
5. Insert the battery into the second sensor immediately after (within 10 seconds after)
the reading form the first sensor is shown on LCD.
6. The outdoor temperature from the second sensor and the "channel 2" icon should
then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 2 minute,
the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.
7. Insert the batteries into the third sensor immediately after (within 10 seconds after)
ithe reading from the second sensor is shown on LCD.
8. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third sensor will be
displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third sensor is
successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step
1.
9. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be a distance of no
more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature
Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).

Note:
•Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as
described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the
batteries from all units and follow the set-up from step 1.
•If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45
seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried for another 45
seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This
will also be done for re-synchronization.
10. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Temperature
Station, the WWVB time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically
between 3-5 minutes in good conditions.
IMPORTANT:
•Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as
described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the
batteries from all units and follow the set-up from step 1.
•If after 10 minutes, the Atomic auto-set time (WWVB time) has not been received,
press the SET key to manually enter a time initially.
•Daily WWVB reception is attempted at full hour between 12:00 am to 6:00 am. If the
