additional information.
3. During initial installation, the temperature and humidity sensor may take up to an
hour or more to acclimatize to current conditions.
4. Press SNOOZE/ LIGHT (4) to change LCD screen backlight brightness from OFF,
LOW and HIGH.
Getting started:
Installing AC adapter

1. Plug in AC/DC adapter at DC input jack (8) (see fig. 2). Use only approved
adapters.
Batteries installation
1. Open battery compartment (9) on the back of the unit (see fig. 2).
2. Install/ replace 2 x AAA size batteries in the compartment. It is recommended that
only alkaline batteries are used.
3. Replace the battery compartment (9) on the back of the unit.
4. A short beep will be heard to confirm proper installation of batteries.
5. It will take approximately 3 seconds for the screen to light up.
6. Replace batteries when this symbol is shown. This indicates low batteries.
Batteries safety warnings:
1. Please read all instructions carefully before use.
2. Install batteries correctly by matching the polarities (+/-).
3. Always replace a complete set of batteries.
4. Never mix used and new batteries.
5. Remove exhausted batteries immediately.
6. Remove batteries when not in use.
7. Do not recharge and do not dispose of batteries in fire as the batteries may
explode.

11. Please retain packaging for future reference.
Setting up the weather station:
The weather station will sound once batteries are installed or ac adapter is plugged in.
1. The double digits of sea level on the bottom left hand corner of the display will
flash. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to change the sea level
closest to your location. The sea level units are in meters (1 meter equals
approximately 3.28 feet). Contact your local weather bureaus or authorities for
more information.
2. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm sea level.
3. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to change the current weather
situation of your location. See figure 3 below for the weather pattern that is
resembles your immediate area.
Fig. 3 Weather pattern

4. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm weather pattern.
Interpreting the weather forecast symbols
The weather station requires at least 24 hours on acclimatizing to local weather
conditions. The weather station process and analyze the weather patterns for the past 24
hours in order to determine the future weather. Until that time has elapsed, the predicted
weather forecast may not accurately reflect the actual weather for your immediate area.
The weather station will display the symbols (see fig. 3) to indicate the predicted weather
forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours for an area within a radius of approximately 30-50
km.
Note:
1. Accuracy rate might be lower in extreme weather conditions. The weather
forecast is only for reference only and it is only for domestic use only. Do NOT
rely on the weather station for weather forecast if any serious matter replies on it
including but not limited to: personal health, life and death situation, any business
or financial decisions, and/or agricultural planning.
2. The weather forecast does not display the current weather. It displays the
weather for the future.
Adjusting the weather station:
1. Press HISTORY button (5) for 3 seconds until a beep sound is heard.
2. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to toggle between atmospheric
pressure units of Pascal (hPa) to inch of mercury (inHg)
3. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm.
4. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to toggle between absolute and
relative atmospheric pressure.
5. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm.
6. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to change the sea level closest to
your location.
7. Press HISTORY button (5) to confirm sea level.
8. Press +/°C/°F button (2) or -/ RCC button (3) to change the current weather
situation of your location. See figure 3 above for the weather pattern that is
resembles your immediate area.
Barometer:
1. The unit takes approximately 24 hours to process and analyze the recorded
barometric pressure data. Until this time has elapsed, the pressure trend and
weather forecasts may not reflect actual weather forecast for your area.
Reading Pressure trend:
1. Recorded memory of the barometric pressure changes are displayed with 3
arrows to show pressure trend.

Note: It is only possible to measure the barometric pressure trend properly when
the unit remains at the same altitude. When moving around at different
altitudes within a short period of time, the air pressure and the barometric
pressure will change. The pressure trend will only be correct and regulate
the has remain at a constant altitude for 24 hours or more.
To recall recorded pressure history reading
The barometric pressure reading is recorded at an hourly interval and can be recalled
and displayed up to previous 12 hours.
Press HISTORY button (5) repeatedly to view pressure recorded in the past hours. -1
HR indicates the pressure of the previous hour. The pressure reading history will appear
for 20 seconds before the current pressure returns.
RCC Synchronization:
Where ever available, this clock will automatically synchronize with the radio control
towers at the following time: 02:05, 03:05, 04:05, 05:05.
User may also manually synchronize the clock by following the instructions below.
Press and hold down the -/ RCC button (3) for approximately 3 seconds until is

4. Press the RESET button (RTS 4) once and the red light will flash once.
5. Replace the battery compartment on the back of the unit by tightening
the two screws (RTS 2).
Installation
1. Place the remote temperature sensor at a desired place by mounting
the unit’s hang hole (RTS 1) on a screw (screw not included).
Alternatively, the unit can be place on a flat horizontal surface.
2. The unit can be placed indoor or outdoor. The unit is weather proof.
Do not submerge unit in water. Do not expose unit to water for
prolonged periods. Avoid accumulation of water and or snow on unit.
Avoid exposing unit to direct sunlight. Remove unit from the exterior in

extreme or harsh weather, including but not limited to hurricane,
typhoon, and cyclones seasons. Do not place the unit in area of high
winds.
3. Do not place the remote temperature sensor more than 30 meters (98
feet) from the receiving weather station. The remote temperature
sensor is most effective if there are no obstruction and interference
between the remote temperature sensor and the weather station. The
remote temperature sensor might have to closer than 30 meters if the
weather station is not able to receive any signals. This is due to
obstructions and interference. The user might need to experiment with
various locations to get the best reception.
