TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER
PROJECTION STATION
The Weather Projection Station uses 3 x AA,
IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and
replace the batteries, please follow the steps
below:
1. Insert finger or other solid object in
the space at the bottom center of the
battery compartment and lift up to
remove the cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct
polarity (see marking).
3. Replace compartment cover.
TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE THERMO-
HYGRO TRANSMITTER
The Thermo-hygro transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install
and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct
polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units,
all units need to be reset by following the setting up
procedures. This is due to a random security code
assigned by the transmitter at start-up. This code must
be received and stored by the Weather Projection
Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to
the transmitter.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to
ensure optimum accuracy of these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment.
Return used batteries to an authorized depot.
SETTING UP
The Weather Projection Station can be either batteries-operated or
powered by the provided AC-DC adapter.

BATTERY INSTALLATION:
1. First, insert the batteries into the Weather Projection Station (see “To
install and replace batteries in the Weather Projection Station”).
Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up
briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Then the ALM1 6:00, the indoor
temperature and humidity, the time as 12:00, the date as WE 1.1., the
moon icon, the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed. If the
indoor temperature and indoor humidity are not displayed after 15
seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 3 minutes before
reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed proceed to step 2.
2. Within 4 minutes of activating the Weather Projection Station, place the
batteries into the transmitter (see “To install and replace batteries in
the Thermo-hygro Transmitter“).
3. After inserting the batteries into the transmitter, the Weather Projection
Station will start receiving data from the transmitter. The outdoor
temperature and humidity should then be displayed on the Weather
Projection Station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries
will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
4. The Weather Projection Station can receive up to 3 remote Outdoor
Thermo-hygro transmitters. If you have purchased additional transmitters,
repeat from step 3 for all extra transmitters. However, ensure that you
leave 10 seconds in between the reception of the last transmitter and the

set-up of the following transmitter. The Weather Projection Station will
number the transmitters in the order of set-up, i.e. the first transmitter will
have the temperature/humidity displayed with the number 1 against it and
so on.
5. With less than 3 transmitters received, the Weather Projection Station will
try to pick up the remaining one in approximately another 3 minutes. If 3
transmitters are received, the Weather Projection Station will stop further
reception.
6. Once the outdoor temperature and the humidity have been received and
displayed on the Weather Projection Station, the WWVB time code
reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 6-8
minutes in good conditions.
7. If after 10 minutes, the WWVB time has not been received, use the SET
key to manually enter a time initially. The clock will automatically attempt
to receive the WWVB time from 12:00 to 6:00 a.m. for a successful
reception. When WWVB reception signal is successful, the received time
will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the
received time. The next reception attempt will occur on the following day.
(Please refer to notes on “About WWVB Radio controlled Time” and
“Manual Time Setting”).
Your Weather Projection Station is now operational!

Note:
If the batteries are used as the main power source:
1. Projected image brightness, alarm volume and back-light strength will
be weaker when batteries are low
2. Battery life time will be much less than 1 year; depending on the
frequency of projection and alarm.
TO USE THE PROJECTOR POWER ADAPTER
The unit comes with an AC-DC adapter for using the projector for an extended
period of time, such as throughout the night.
To connect the AC-DC adapter:
Important!
Make sure that your household voltage is 120V! Otherwise it can result in
damaging your Weather Projection Station.

1. Connect the AC-DC adapter to a wall socket. Plug the adapter into the
jack at the side of the Weather Projection Station. All segments of the
LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Then the
ALM 1 6:00, the indoor temperature and humidity, the time as 12:00,
the date as WE 1.1., the moon icon, the weather icons (sun and clouds)
will be displayed. If the indoor temperature and indoor humidity are not
displayed after 15 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 3
minutes before reinserting them.
2. Within 4 minutes of activating the Weather Projection Station, place the
batteries into the transmitter (see “To install and replace batteries in
the Thermo-hygro Transmitter“).
3. After inserting the batteries into the transmitter, the Weather Projection
Station will start receiving data from the transmitter. The outdoor
temperature and humidity should then be displayed on the Weather
Projection Station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries
will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
4. The Weather Projection Station can receive up to 3 remote Outdoor
Thermo-hygro transmitters. If you have purchased additional
transmitters, repeat from step 3 for all extra transmitters. However,
ensure that you leave 10 seconds in between the reception of the last
transmitter and the set-up of the following transmitter. The Weather
Projection Station will number the transmitters in the order of set-up, i.e.
