To Power your WeatherGu de™
Base Unit
Your WeatherGuide™ base unit may be powered by either an AC
adaptor (included) or 2 AAA batteries (not included).
Adaptor power – insert the connector end of the adaptor into
the jack on the side of the base unit. Plug the other end into the
proper electrical outlet.
Battery Power – Remove the battery compartment cover on
the back of the unit. Install 2 AAA batteries. Replace the battery
compartment cover.
Important: Power the base unit before installing batteries in the re-
mote sensor, or the units’ transmissions may not properly connect.
Remote Sensor
Unscrew the 4 screws securing the remote sensor’s battery compart-
ment cover located on the back of the unit. Install 2 AAA batteries.
(Tip: Lithium batteries are recommended in extremely cold or hot lo-
cations.)
How to Set up Your WeatherGu de™System
First, power up the base unit, using either the AC adaptor or 2 AAA
batteries. Next, install 2 AAA batteries into the remote sensor.
Place the base unit as close as possible to the remote unit.
There is a Channel switch in the remote
sensor battery compartment. Move the
switch to Channel 1.
Press the “TX” button located inside the
remote sensor battery compartment.This
will send a transmission signal to the base
unit.The red LED Indicator light will flash
when a signal is transmitted.
3
Move channel switch
to Channel 1
Press the Tx button to send
transmission signal to base unit

If the transmission is successful, the remote
sensor readings and a “ ” icon will appear
on the base unit. If dashes are still displayed
on the receiver unit, press the Tx button
again.
To change the remote sensor’s tempera-
ture display to Celsius, press the “+C/F”
button inside the remote’s battery com-
partment.
Replace the remote’s battery compart-
ment cover.
The remote will automatically transmit readings to the base unit.
• The first remote registered will transmit every 53 seconds.
• If a second remote is registered, it will transmit every 56 seconds.
• If a third remote is registered, it will transmit every 59 seconds.
Note: A maximum of 3 remote sensor units can be registered.
Should you purchase one or two additional remote units (Model 1536,
sold separately) to expand your thermometer monitoring capabilities
to multiple locations, slide the C switch to Channel 2 to register the
second sensor and select Channel 3 to register the third sensor.The
Channel number assigned will appear on the remote’s LCD screen.

How to D splay your WeatherGu de™
Table top – use the Table Stand on the back of the base and remote
sensor units
Wall – use the keyhole on the back of the base and remote sensor units.
Base Unit emote Sensor
Base unit location –
Place the unit indoors in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight.
Remote sensor location –
The transmission range of the remote sensor is 100 feet.The effective
transmission range is vastly affected by obstacles such as walls, sheds,
trees, etc.Try various set ups for the best results. Shorten the distance
between receiver and remote units when necessary. Place indoor in a
well ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Place the sensor in
a dry, shaded area. Direct sunlight will heat the casing and inflate tem-
peratures readings.
Important: Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be
placed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and should never be sub-
merged in water.
A maximum of 3 remote sensor units can be registered. One
remote sensor is included.To purchase additional Remote
Sensors (Taylor model 1536), please visit www.partshelf.com.

Atom c Clock and Calendar
Your WeatherGuide™ has a radio-controlled clock/calendar that sets
itself to the radio signal transmitted by the U.S.Atomic Clock located
in Colorado.To synchronize the atomic clock:
1. Press and hold the “-PMCE/RCC”
button on the back of the base unit.The
unit will beep.The antenna icon will
flash on the screen.
Please note: reception may take
2-10 minutes.
2. When the icon is steady, the
Atomic Clock has been successfully
synchronized.
3. Choose your time zone by pressing the
“PMCE/RCC” button.
Please note: If the icon disappears, the Atomic time signal is not
available at the moment.Try another location later away from possible
sources of interference, such as mobile phones, appliances, computers,
refrigerators,TVs, etc. Daytime conditions such as sunlight and other
atmospheric interferences can affect synchronization; try setting the
clock during evening hours. Please note:if the signal is weak, it may take
up to 24 hours for the atomic clock to establish a connection. In the
meantime, the clock may be manually set. Once the atomic signal is
found, it will override the manually programmed time and date.
The Atomic Clock will have a daily synchronization at 2:05 am Pacific
Time every day. Each reception cycle is 2.5 minutes minimum and 10
minutes maximum.
