DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE
I. BATTERY INSTALLATION
A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE
TRANSMITTER

Transmitter, push
down gently, slide
battery cover down
and off.

2. Observing the correct polarity, install 2
AAA 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 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
5

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
INDOOR LCD
FORECAST LCD
OUTDOOR LCD
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 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.
