QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and
avoid rechargeable batteries.
1. Have the indoor station and outdoor
remote 3 to 5 apart.
2. Batteries should be out of both units for
10 minutes.
3. Place the batteries into the outdoor
remote first then into the indoor station.
(All outdoor remotes must be started
before the indoor station)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS
FOR 10 MINUTES.
In this time the display and sensor will start to talk to
each other and the display will show both the indoor
temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the
station does not display both temperatures after the
10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above.
After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are
displayed for 10 minutes you can place your sensor
outdoors and set your time.

The remote sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded
area. The remote sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any
walls that the signal will have to pass through will
reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will
have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall
will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance
plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight
line.
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote
sensor but direct rain must be avoided.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE
I. BATTERY INSTALLATION
A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Remove the battery
cover. Place your thumb
over the two air-vent
slots on the face of the
Remote Temperature
Sensor, push down
gently and slide the
battery cover down and
off.
2. Observing the correct
polarity, install 2 AA batteries. The batteries
will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make
sure that they do not spring free during
installation).
3. Replace the battery cover.
B. WEATHER TEMPERATURE STATION
1. Remove the battery
cover. Pull up and
out from the slot
located in the
central position of
the battery cover.
2. Observing the
correct polarity,
install 2 AAA

7
batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid
start-up problems make sure that they do not
spring free during installation).
3. Replace the battery cover.
4. To switch between °F and °C, press the
°F/°C button on the back of the unit.
Note: After the batteries have been installed into
the Weather Temperature Station the LCD
segments should light up. Also within 3 minutes,
the Outdoor Temperature should be displayed in
the OUTDOOR LCD. If any of this does not occur,
remove all batteries and install them again—
carefully observing the polarity.
C. LOW-BATTERY & BATTERY REPLACEMENT
FEATURES
When the batteries become weak in the
Weather Temperature Station, a low battery
indicator (shaped as a battery) appears in the
LCD screen between the Hour display and
the Minute display. When you replace the
batteries in the Weather Temperature
Station, the LCD screen will continue to
display its stored information for 20 seconds.
This means that if you can install the new
batteries within this 20-second time period
you do not need to program the Station
again.

FEATURES
I. INDOOR TEMPERATURE
The Weather Temperature Station monitors the
temperature within its immediate proximity, and
displays this temperature (°F or °C) in the INDOOR
LCD. The temperature is monitored as soon as the
batteries are installed.
II. WEATHER FORECAST
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75%
accurate. The weather forecast is based solely upon
the change of air pressure over time. The WS-7032U
averages past air- pressure readings to provide

an accurate forecast—causing a necessity to disregard
all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit
has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to
another (i.e. from one floor of a building to another). In
areas where the weather is not affected by the change
of air pressure, this feature will be less accurate.
A. WEATHER ICONS
There are 3 possible weather icons that will be
displayed in the FORECAST LCD:
Sunny—indicates that the weather is
expected to improve (not that the
weather will be sunny).
Sun with Clouds—indicates that the
weather is expected to be fair (not
that the weather will be sunny with
clouds).
Clouds with Rain—indicates that
the
weather is expected to get worse (not
that the weather will be rainy).
The weather icons change when the unit detects a
change in air pressure. The icons change in order
from: “sunny” to “sun with clouds” to “clouds

10
with rain,” or the reverse. It will not change from
“sunny” directly to “rainy,” although it is possible
for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do
not change then the weather has not changed, or
the change has been too slow and gradual to
register.
B. WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS
Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD
are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up
(under the forecast icons) and one that points
down (above the forecast icons). These arrows
reflect current changes in the air pressure. An
arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is
increasing and the weather is expected to improve
or remain good, an arrow pointing down indicates
that the air pressure is decreasing and the
weather is expected to become worse or remain
poor. No arrow means the pressure is stable.
II. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
The Weather Temperature Station receives the outdoor
temperature (°F or °C) from the Remote Temperature
Sensor, and the temperature appears in the OUTDOOR
LCD. The Remote Temperature Sensor makes a
temperature update every 1 minute, and transmits a
new temperature to the Weather Temperature Station 3
times every 10 minutes.
