PC Program Installation
NOTE: This section will ONLY step you through the software process and get
your PC set up to receive weather information from the internet. In the next
section a connection will be established to transmit this weather information to
the Main Unit.
1. Before installation, please ensure that:
- Your PC is connected to the Internet by browsing through a couple of
websites.
- YouareusingWindows2000,XP(32bit)orVista(32bit).
- The USB transmitter is connected properly to your PC through the USB port.
2. Insert CD into your CD ROM and double click INSTALL_2380.exe program
to start installation. If the installation program detects that Microsoft .NET
Framework 2.0 driver was not installed in your Windows beforehand, it will
prompt you to install the driver. Follow the instructions to install the driver and
complete the rest of the installation.
3. After installation is complete, run the program by double clicking the desktop
5-Day Forecast icon .
4. Click SETTING… in the HOME WEATHER display.
5. Click SET LOCATION to enter your home city location in the program.
6. After setting your home location, a 5-Day forecast of your home city will be
updated on your PC program automatically via the Internet. You may click
UPDATE FORECAST anytime to manually update the forecast display on
theprogram.OncetheRFconnectionisestablished(seenextsection)the
program will also update the forecast and send to the Main Unit automatically if
your PC is online or every time you turn on your PC.
NOTE: Pleaserefertothe“TROUBLESHOOTING”sectioninthebackofthis
booklet if you have a problem displaying 5-Day forecast information on your
PC program.
Establish RF Connection With Main Unit
1. Ensure that you have successfully received a 5-Day forecast on your PC
program(foryourhomecity)beforesettinguptheRFconnection.
2. Place the USB transmitter and Main Unit away from metal and any source of
interferencesuchasaPCmonitor,mobilephones,appliances,TV,etc.
3. Flip the antenna into vertical position.
4. Itisrecommendedtostartwithashortdistance(Example:Within2ft.)
between the two units for initial RF setup. Once the RF connection is
established, place the Main Unit within the effective transmission range from
the transmitter. Shorten the distance if necessary for best reception.
5. To search for RF signal from a new USB transmitter, press PC SEARCH
button located on the back of the Main Unit several times until the
RF icon flashes.
6. Press TRANSMIT button located on the bottom of the USB transmitter to
initiate transmission of RF weather data to the Main Unit.
7. Once the RF connection is established between the Main Unit and USB
transmitter, the RF icon will no longer flash. This indicates full strength
reception from the transmitter. In the first few minutes of the RF reception,
the Main Unit may be showing data on only one part of the screen, this is
normal. The rest of the screen display data will gradually appear within the
next 10-30 minutes.
NOTE:
- If you have waited over thirty minutes and have yet to see the rest of the
screen, shorten the distance between the USB transmitter and Main Unit,
check the battery levels and repeat the setup procedure above.
- If it continues to fail, try removing the USB connection and all batteries from
the USB transmitter. Reinstall the batteries and then reconnect the USB
connection again. Repeat above procedure to set up the RF connection.
Receiving 5-day Forecast Information
Automatic Forecast Update
1. After your PC is turned on or rebooted, the PC program will access the
Internet server for a weather forecast update and start sending data to the
Main Unit automatically.
2. If your PC is turned on all the time with Internet connection, weather forecast
will be updated periodically from the Internet and will be sent to the Main Unit
automatically.

1. Computer:EnsurethatyouareusingWindows2000,XP(32bit)orVista
(32bit)andyourPCisconnectedtotheInternet.Trybrowsingthrougha
couple of websites to make sure. During the CD installation, if the program
detected that Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 driver was not installed in your
Windows before, it will prompt you to install the driver. Follow the instruction
to install the driver and complete the rest of the installation.
2. Connection: Ensure that the USB transmitter is properly connected to the
USB port of your PC. Otherwise, you are unable to run the PC program and
access the 5-day forecast update from the Internet.
3. Batteries: Ensure all batteries in the Main Unit & USB transmitter are fine
and are in proper position. Replace batteries when the respective low
battery indicator appearsontheMainUnit(refertothe“LOWBATTERY
INDICATION”section).
4. Toolbar Icon: If the toolbar icon ofthePCprogramdisappears(nothidden)
on the lower right of your Window, your program is terminated and no longer
has access to the 5-day forecast from the Internet. Restart the program again.
5. Main Unit Screen: Within the first few minutes of the RF reception from
USB transmitter, it is normal for the Main Unit to only display data on just
one part of the screen. The rest of the screen will gradually appear within
the next 10 minutes or so. If you have waited over one hour without seeing
the rest of the screen, shorten the distance between the USB transmitter &
Main Unit and check the battery levels. Then repeat setup procedures in the
“ESTABLISHRFCONNECTIONWITHMAINUINIT”section.Ifitcontinues
to fail, try removing the USB connection and all batteries from the USB
transmitter. Reinstall the batteries and then reconnect the USB connection
again.Repeatthesetupprocedurein“ESTABLISHRFCONNECTIONWITH
MAINUINIT”section.
6. RF Indicator: If the RF indicator is showing full strength but one or more
of the next 3 days’ forecast is missing on the Main Unit & PC program, your
PC may have been offline for many days. Connect your PC to the Internet
again to receive the latest forecast update.
7. UV Index:IfallforecastinformationappearsexcepttheUVIndex,your
PC may have been offline for more than one day. Connect your PC to the
InternetagaintoreceivethelatestUVIforecastupdate.
8. Forecast Consistency: If the forecast reading of the PC program does
not match with the Main Unit. Press TRANSMIT on the USB transmitter to
re-transmitsignalagainandwaitfor10+minutes.
9. Time Consistency: If your time on the PC program & Main Unit is off by
half an hour or more, click SETTING… on the PC program and set the hour
offset until the proper time is set.
10. City Selection: If your city does not appear in the 20,000 city list, select the
one near your home location.
11. Data Slow Down: Heavy Internet traffic may slow down the response of the
server temporarily. Try again later if you wish to update the forecast manually
by the UPDATE FORECAST button.
