QUICK SETUP
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries
and avoid rechargeable batteries.
1. Have the indoor weather station and
remote temp/humidity sensor 3 to 5 feet
apart.
2. Batteries should be out of all units for
10 minutes.
3. Place the batteries into the remote
temp/humidity sensor first, then into
the indoor weather station.
(All remote temp/humidity sensors
must be started before the indoor
weather station)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS
FOR 15 MINUTES.

6
In this time the indoor weather station and
remote temp/humidity sensor will start to
talk to each other and the displays will show
both the indoor temperature and an outdoor
temperature and humidity. If the indoor
weather station do not display both the
indoor temperature and the outdoor
temperature and humidity after the 15
minutes please retry the set up as shown on
page five.
After both indoor temperature and outdoor
temperature and humidity are displayed for
10 minutes you can place your remote
temp/humidity sensor outdoors and set your
time.

Notes on Outdoor Sensor Placement
The remote temp/humidity sensor should be
placed in a dry, shaded area. Fog and mist
will not harm your remote temp/humidity
sensor but direct rain must be avoided.
The remote temp/humidity 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 can
have up to 30 feet of resistance and an
interior wall can have up to 20 feet of
resistance. Your distance plus resistance
should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.
Notes on Weather Station Placement
The 80 ft distance is between each indoor
weather station and the temp/humidity
sensor independently. The placement of one
indoor weather station does not affect the
placement of a second indoor weather
station.

To complete the set up of your indoor
weather station after the 10 minutes have
passed, please follow the steps below.

shown, press and release the
“SET” button once.
