GETTING STARTED
This Weather Station was designed for easy set up. For best operation, the following steps are
required to be done in the proper sequence.
1. FIRST INSERT BATTERIES IN THE MAIN UNIT, THEN IN TRANSMITTER
2. MAIN UNIT CANNOT BE SET MANUALY UNTIL THE WIRELESS TRANSMITTER REGISTRATION
PROCEDURE HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
3. POSITION THE REMOTE UNIT AND MAIN UNIT WITHIN EFFECTIVE TRANSMISSION RANGE, WHICH, IN
USUAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IS 75 METERS.
Although the remote unit is weather resistant, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or
snow.
BATTERY INSTALLATION FOR MAIN UNIT
1. Turn the metal nut anti-clockwise on the bottom of the unit to open and release the battery
compartment;
2. Insert 4 AA size 1.5V alkaline battery as indicate by the polarity;
3. Push the battery compartment back, turn the metal nut clockwise to lock;
Note: Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator appears.
WIRELESS REMOTE SENSOR REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
1. Insert 4 x AA batteries first to the main unit, the outdoor temperature display shows - - . – While
the wave icon will keep blinking for 2 minutes indicate unit is in sensor searching mode.
2. In a second step, insert the 2 x AAA batteries in the transmitter unit. The LED on the front panel
will start flashing at a rate of one time per around 2 seconds indicates channel-1 is in use.
3. While the LED in the sensor unit is flashing, press once the [CH] key will change the sensor
channel setting to 2. Keep toggle on [CH] key can change channel setting up to 5. The LED is
blinking at a frequency to indicate the channel setting. i.e. continous blinks 2 times indicate
channel-2 is selected.
Note: If user does not press any key for 10 seconds, it will exit the channel setting mode and transmit
the RF signal. The main unit will register the temperature reading.
(If the transmitter has the LCD display, the C/F key will toggle the temperature unit on the LCD.)
REMOTE CHANNEL AUTO-SCROLLING
This weather station is equipped with an auto-scroll function. While the auto-scroll function is set, the
unit will automatically cycle to display the temperature of each remote sensor for 6 seconds.
1. To retrieve manually the specific sensor temperature reading, press CHANNEL key until desired
channel number is displayed.
2. To enable auto-scroll function, use CHANNEL button to select channel 1, 2, ... until auto scroll icon
appears on the left hand corner of the 3rd line display.

DCF 77 RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK
There are 4 wave icons flash to indicate 4 levels of RCC signal status:
If there has no wave above the reception tower that means the signal is very weak and the clock
can not be set by the RCC signal, please try to rotate the unit or other windows to seek for a better
RCC reception location. Besides, the RCC signal is the strongest at night, the user can manually set
the clock to locale time and leave it overnight to receive the RCC signal.
If nothing else works, take the clock outdoors after dark at night, remove and re-install the batteries
and leave it overnight to force it to look for the radio controlled time signal. If the clock works
outdoors but not indoors, you probably have a local interference problem inside your house or
building.
Once the time signal is received, the wave icon will stay on the LCD, and time and calendar will
automatically be updated.
Note: During 10 minutes of time signal reception, all manual settings will be suspended. If setting is
desired, press once [▲] key to deactivate the reception. You can also press and hold the same key
for 3 seconds to manually activate the reception in normal mode. The clock will work as a normal
quartz clock if it can’t receive the RCC signal.

The weather station is capable of detecting local barometric pressure changes, and based on the
data collected, can predict the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.
Note:

Manual draft for WS6501
1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather forecast is about 70 to 75%, and therefore,
we cannot be held responsible for any inconveniences so caused by an inaccurate one.
2. The weather forecast is meant for the next 12 to 24 hours. It may not necessarily reflect the
current situation.
3. The ‘Sunny’ forecast covering night hours indicates clear weather.
HOW TO CHECK THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
The current and historical barometric pressure is shown on the atmospheric pressure window.
For monitoring the Sea Level barometric pressure reading at certain altitude, the user needs to
select the local altitude (-100 to 2500 meter or -330 to 8200 foot) for the altitude setting. The weather
station requires entry of elevation in meter and in foot separately. To determine your location
elevation, please either contact your local library, TV/radio weather forecaster, or via Internet.
1. To enter the altitude compensation setting mode, press and hold [HISTORY] button for 2 seconds
to switch from Barometric Pressure to Altitude adjust mode for 10 seconds and the meter icon
flashes.
2. During Altitude adjust mode, press [UNIT] button to toggle between meter and foot unit. Then
press [HISTORY] button to confirm.
3. Last altitude reading will flash, press [UNIT] button to increase the value by 10. Hold down the
button to have fast stepping. Press [HISTORY] button once to confirm and exit setting.
The atmospheric pressure can be displayed in mb/hPa, inHg. Press [UNIT] to select the pressure unit.
The weather station is equipped with barometer reading for 24hr history. If you want to check the
pressure history for a particular hour during the past 24 hours, press [HISTORY] button, each press on
the button will go back by an hour.
Note:
If the weather station was just installed with batteries and past data was not yet measured, it will
display ‘----‘.
The recorded barometric changes for the past 24 hours are displayed in a bar chart below the
barometric pressure window.
