IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Please DO NOT insert batteries into the Wireless Display or the Outdoor Sensor
until instructed to do so.
Set Up your WD-3106UR-B
Open www.weatherdirect.com in a web browser and click “REGISTER” at the top
of the page. Our Online Registration Wizard will guide you through the complete
registration process.
Hardware Installation
NOTE: Hardware installation is only intended to be performed after you have
registered your Wireless USB Transceiver and Wireless Display and have
confirmed successful reception of weather data.
Optional TX-50U Wireless Outdoor Sensor Installation Options
OPTIONAL: TX-50U Wireless Outdoor Temperature Sensor – Measures the
outdoor temperature where you are and sends temperature data to your Wireless
Display with a wireless range of up to 330 feet (open air). See
www.weatherdirect.com for details on how to add this sensor to your system.
NOTE: Move the Wireless Outdoor Sensor into its intended location and wait for
10 minutes to make sure the outdoor temperature is still being received by the
Wireless Display. Press the “+” Key on your Wireless Display to show the
outdoor temperature. If the display shows - -,-F for the outdoor temperature, the
signal cannot reach the Wireless Display. Find a closer location to mount the
Wireless Outdoor Sensor and wait 10 minutes to check the Wireless Display
again for reception.
DO NOT mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor in a permanent fashion until
you are sure the signal is being received by the Wireless Display.
To Surface Mount the Outdoor Sensor:
We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to a surface
with the supplied screws. The Sensor can be positioned on a flat
surface by securing the stand to the bottom by gently pushing the

Version 1.1 - 11/13/2008
Page 8 of 25
bottom of the Sensor onto the holding pegs of the stand until they click into place
in the grooves on the Sensor.
To Wall Mount the Outdoor Sensor:
The Outdoor Sensor is weather resistant, but not water proof. To
ensure maximum Sensor life, mount it in a covered place out of the
elements like under the eaves. Placement on the North side of your
home will provide the most accurate readings. Mount it about 18”
down from the eaves for optimum performance. This ensures that the
weather data collected by the Outdoor Sensor will not be affected by
the temperature of the air leaving the attic.
We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to the wall with the
supplied screws. Gently snap the Sensor onto the holding pegs on the mounting
plate after the plate is screwed to the wall. When the holding pegs are securely
locked into the slots on the Sensor, you will hear a “Click”.
Wireless USB Transceiver Installation
The Wireless USB Transceiver sends weather forecasts to your Wireless Display
over a maximum 100 ft. range. Walls and other obstructions between the
Wireless USB Transceiver and Wireless Display will affect the range. The
Wireless Signal Icon will indicate the signal strength to let you know if your
Wireless USB Transceiver and Wireless Display are within range.

Time Setting on Wireless Display
The Time Zone you select
on www.weatherdirect.com
for your Wireless Display is
intended to set the time for
your physical location so
the clock on your Wireless
Display is accurate. This
time is independent of your
selected forecast locations.
The Wireless Display will
ONLY display the time from
the “Time Zone for Wireless
Display Clock” set on the
web site, NOT the time at
the forecast locations.
There is only one Time

Version 1.1 - 11/13/2008
Page 10 of 25
Zone available per Wireless Display.
The Daylight Saving Time (DST) checkbox on your Wireless Display settings at
www.weatherdirect.com is selected by default because most locations observe
DST. If you are in a location that does not observe DST, please make sure to
uncheck this box.
Optional TX-50U Wireless Outdoor Sensor
The Optional Wireless Outdoor Sensor sends temperature data to your Wireless
Display, accurate to within a tenth of one degree.
The Optional Outdoor Temperature Sensor uses 2
x “AA”, Alkaline batteries. To install and replace
the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on
the back of the sensor.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct
polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery compartment cover on
the unit.
After the Optional Outdoor Temperature Sensor is powered up, press the “+” Key
on your Wireless Display to show the outdoor temperature at any time. The
outdoor temperature will scroll on the bottom of the LCD.
Because the “+” key is used to toggle between time, date and temperature, when
you press the “+” key to view the outdoor temperature, you also switch to the
next view mode on the top segment of the LCD. Simply press the “+” key until
you are also viewing the desired mode: time, date or temperature.
Wireless Display Operation
This section will teach you how to use your Wireless Display once you have

You'll know if the weather during the morning commute will be different from the
weather during the rest of the day.

morning, because Micro Forecasts will inform you that it will rain in the afternoon
on your way home.
