2. GETTING STARTED
2a) BEFORE YOU BEGIN
For best operation,
1. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so
for the main unit.
2. Position the remote unit and main unit within
effective transmission range, which, in usual
circumstances, is 20 to 30 meters.

EN - 4
Note that the effective range is vastly affected
by the building materials and where the main
and remote units are positioned.
Try various set-ups for best result.
Though the remote units are weather proof, they
should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain
or snow.
2b) BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT
1. Remove the screws on the battery
compartment.
2. Install 2 batteries (UM-4 or "AAA" size 1.5V)
strictly according to the polarities shown.
3. Replace the battery compartment door and
secure its screws.
2c) BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT
1. Open the battery compartment door.
2. Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or "AA" size 1.5V)
strictly according to the polarities shown.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
2d) LOW BATTERY WARNING: MAIN UNIT
When it is time to replace batteries, the respective
low-battery indicator [ ] next to the time with
seconds will be shown on the main unit‘s display.

EN - 5
2e) GETTING STARTED
Once batteries are in place for the remote unit,
they will start transmitting temperature readings at
around 45 seconds intervals. The main unit will also
start searching for signals for about two minutes
once batteries are installed. Upon successful
reception, the outdoors temperatures will be
displayed .The main unit will automatically update its
readings at about 45-second intervals.
If no signals are received, blanks " " will be
displayed.
Hold [▼] for 2 seconds to enforce another search
for about 2 minutes. This is useful in synchronizing
the transmission and reception of the remote and
main units.
Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies
between the reading shown on the main unit and
that on the remote unit.
3. WEATHER FORECAST
3a) WEATHER FORECAST
The unit is capable of detecting atmospheric
pressure changes. Based on collected data, it can
predict the weather for the forthcoming 12 to 24
hours.

unit
Forecast Sunny Slightly
Cloudy Cloudy Rainy Snowy

EN - 6
NOTE:
1. It is not necessary and not possible to adjust
the altitude of the weather station. After the
initial start-up of the weather station, a first
forecast will be made within the first 24 hours of
operation.
2. In periods of long stable weather conditions, it
becomes difficult to make a reliable forecast.
3. The weather forecast is solely calculated on the
basis of barometric air pressure changes.
4. The probability of a correct weather forecast
is approximately 70% and is valid for an area
of approx. 20-30 km around the location of the
weather station.
5. The forecast "Sunny" means at night "cloudless
weather". Fog is not indicated by the weather
station as this can occur with different weather
conditions.
6. If you travel with the weather station, a reliable
weather forecast will become impossible
due to 24 hour so that the weather station
can calculate a new forecast based on the
conditions at the new location.
3b) ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
The atmospheric pressure indicator, in the weather
forecast window, uses arrows to indicate if the
atmospheric pressure is increasing, remaining
stable, or decreasing.

4. THERMOMETER
4a) HOW TO CHECK REMOTE AND INDOOR
TEMPERATURES
The wave display on the outdoors temperature
indicates the reception of the remote unit is in good
order. If no readings are received from the remote
unit for more than two minutes, blanks " " will be
displayed until further readings are successfully
searched. Check the remote unit is sound and
secure. You can wait for a little while or Hold [▼]
for 2 seconds to enforce an immediate search.
If the temperature goes above or below than the
temperature measuring range of the main unit or the
remote unit (stated in specification), the display will
show " "
4b) HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE
DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving
status of the main unit. There are three possible
forms:
The unit is in searching mode.
Temperature readings are
securely registered.
No signals.

EN - 8
4c) MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES
The maximum and minimum recorded indoor
temperature, outdoor temperatures will be
automatically stored in memory. To display them,
Press [MEM] once to display the maximum readings
and again the minimum readings. The respective
indicators, [MAX] or [MIN] will be displayed.
To clear the memory, hold down [MEM] for two
seconds. The maximum and minimum readings will
be erased. If you press [MEM] now, the maximum
and minimum readings will have the same values
as the current ones until different readings are
recorded.
4d) DISCONNECTED SIGNALS
If without obvious reasons the display of the outdoor
temperature goes blank, Hold [▼] for 2 seconds to
enforce an immediate search.
If that fails, check:
1. The remote unit is still in place.
2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main
unit. Replace as necessary.
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing
point, the batteries of outdoor units will freeze,
lowering their voltage supply and the effective
range.
3. The transmission is within range and path is
clear of obstacles and interference. Shorten the
distance when necessary.

EN - 9
4e) TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such
as doorbells, home security systems and entry
controls, may interfere with those of this product
and cause temporarily reception failure. This is
normal and does not affect the general performance
of the product. The transmission and reception
of temperature readings will resume once the
interference recedes.
5. RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK DCF77
5a) HOW TO SET THE RADIO CONTROLLED
CLOCK
✻After the batteries are installed. The clock will
automatically search the radio signal. It takes
about 3-5 minutes to finish this process.
✻If the radio signal is received, the date & time
will be set automatically with radio control signal
icon [ ] turns on.
✻If the clock fails to receive the time signal, it will
be with the [ ] icon turns off. Then user can set
the time manually.
