Initial Operation:
Firstly, turn on the weather station by using 2 AA batteries or the included power adapter, all the icons on the LCD
screen will light up for the first few seconds; the base station starts to detect Indoor temperature and humidity and
finish with a “beep” sound, then the Indoor temperature and humidity will be displayed on the screen.
Secondly, turn on the remote sensor by using 2 AA batteries (not included). The red indicator light on the remote
will flash a few times for the first few seconds then quit flashing after the remote detects and displays the accurate
outdoor temperature and humidity; meanwhile, the indoor weather station will start to make connection with the
remote sensor. Within 3 minutes, the outdoor data will displayed on the indoor weather station.
NOTE: If the outdoor data fails to display on the base unit, please check the following tips to get your solutions:
1) Please check if the selected channel on the remote sensor matches your indoor weather station. If not, please open
the remote cover and choose the right channel.
2) The distance between remote sensor and indoor weather station should not exceed 200ft in open area; too many
walls and other obstacles may weaken the signal transmission.
3) Restart the remote sensor and manually control the signal transmission by pressing TX button.
If the problem still not settled, please contact us at [e-mail], we will help you further.
Reception of the Radio Signal:
After the indoor weather station connected with the remote sensor, it will automatically enter the Radio Control Time
