Weatherfiuide Deluxe Weather Forecaster with Barometer
Model 1735
Instruction Manual
Welcome to the Taylor® Weatherfiuide System. Simple, reliable, accurate ... it allows you to monitor indoor or outdoor
locations from one room. The base unit reads indoor conditions, while the remote sensor wirelessly reports outdoor
weather conditions back to the base unit for an all-in-one weather display.
NOTE: Some units have a static cling label over the digital display. Please remove before use.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The base unit operates on
2 AA
batteries (not included).
The remote sensor operates on
2
AA batteries (not included).
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable
(ni-cad, ni-mh,
etc.)
batteries.
IMPORTANT
Power the base unit first, and then the remote sensor, otherwise the units' transmissions may not properly
c nnect. Place the base unit as close as possible to the remote sensor during set up.
TIP
When the temperature falls below freezing point, alkaline batteries used in outdoor units may freeze, lowering their
voltage supply and effective range. Use of Lithium batteries is recommended in extremely cold or hot locations.

After Powering Up the Units:
When the units are powered up, the LCD screens will light up for 3 seconds and the base unit will beep. The base unit will
begin to display indoor temperature and humidity. The outdoor temperature and humidity displays will show dashes
u(~.)n.
Allow at least 3 minutes for the base unit to connect with the remote sensor and analyze current outdoor temperature
conditions. A transmission signal icon
(''14'')
flashes next to the channel icon
( l1i,,)
on the base unit during this time. The
icon will dlsuppcar allor 3 minutes when analysis is complete. (Outdoor temperature and humidity readings may appear
while the icon is still Ilashing, as it takes the unit longer to analyze other forecasting conditions.)

best setup connection, keep the base unit and remote close to each other while trying to connect. Keep away
from athol' electronic equipment that may interfere with the connections, such as mobile phones, appliances, computers,
l'olhgcl'f1tol's, TVs, etc.

Indoor temperature and humidity readings update on the base unit every 60 seconds.
The first remote registered transmits outdoor temperature and humidity readings every 69 seconds.
• If a second remote is registered, it will transmit every 73 seconds.
• If a third remote is registered, it will transmit every 77 seconds
A red light and an T icon on the remote sensor flash when a signal is sent. The transmission signal icon
(''14'')
flashes on
the base unit when the signal is received.
Notes: While the base unit is in the 3 minute analyzing mode, only the Snooze/Backlight and - buttons are
operational. Some functions may not be operational, or using the functions will interrupt the transmission reception. Once
the analyzing mode is complete, the other functions will become operational. (Pressing Snooze/Backlight will activate a
5 second backlight. Pressing - will stop the analyzing mode.)
Depending on when the units are powered up, there may be a delay between when the remote sensor's LCD screen
updates and those readings appear on the base unit.
ADDITIONAL REMOTE SENSORS
A maximum of 3 remote sensor units can be used with the base unit; one is included. Should you purchase one or two
additional remote units (Model 1739, sold separately), first install batteries in the remote, and then slide the CH switch
inside the remote's battery compartment to select Channel 2 or Channel 3. The Channel number assigned will appear on
the remote's LCD screen.
When the base unit is powered up, it will go into analyzing mode for 3 minutes, indicated by a flashing ~ icon by the
OUT temperature display. If batteries are installed in all the remotes during this time, the base unit will connect with all
the sensors. If you choose to add a second or third remote later, first install batteries in the remote, slide the CH switch in
the battery compartment to select Channel 2 or Channel 3, then press and hold the CH button on the back of the base
unit for 2 seconds. This will start the 3 minute analyzing mode, during which the base unit searches for remote sensors
again and will connect with the new sensor. .
Press the CH button on the back of the base unit to switch between Channel I, 2, or 3 displays.
Or select the auto scroll option

DISPLAYING YOUR WEAT1-IERGUIDETM
Base unit
Place the base unit indoors in a well-ventilated location away [rom direct sunlight.
Table top - pull the bottom of the Table Stand located on the back of the base unit to set it on a flat surface.
Wall - use the keyhole on the back of the base unit to hang on a wall using a screw or nail (not included).
Remote sensor
Table top - place the sensor on a flat surface.
Wall- use the keyhole on the back of the remote to hang on a wall using a nail or screw (not included).
The transmission range of the remote sensor is 200 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 the base and remote
units when necessary. To get the most accurate readings and to prolong the life of your sensor, we recommend that you
mount it out of direct sunlight and rain. Direct sunlight will heat the casing and inflate temperatures readings. Place the
sensor in a dry, shaded area. Fog and mist will not affect the sensor, but large volumes of soaking rain may. To guard
against this, we recommend that you mount it under the eve of your house, your garage or any other suitable place that
will keep it out of direct sun and rain.
Important
Though the remote unit is weather resistant, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and
should never be submerged in water.

humidity is lower, the display will show LL.L .
CLOCK FEATURES
,
J~
1
A) WWVB Radio Control Clock Setting
The Clock display is located at the top of the base unit's screen. In North America, the signals received by radio
controlled clocks originate from NIST Radio Station WWVB, which is located near Fort Collins, olorado.
The base unit will automatically start searohing for the WWVB Radio Clock Signal for 7 minutes after the batteries are
installed and the 3 minute analyzing time is up. (I
f
this does not occur, press and hold the DOWN button on the back of
the unit for 2 seconds to force a search for the Radio Clock Signal. The radio antenna icon
( 1''')
flashes while the unit is
searching for the Radio Clock Signal.)
Once the base unit has picked up the Radio Clock Signal, it will synchronize the clock to the WWVB time.
The
i'
icon will remain steady on the screen when clock synchronization is successful.
The radio-controlled clock will have a daily synchronization at
J
:00 am, 2:00 am and 3:00 am every day. If these attempts
are unsuccessful, the base unit will automatically attempt to synchronization at the next full hour. This attempt is
automatically repeated up to 5 times that day.
Please note: If the signal is weak, it may take 24-48 hours for the clock to acquire the Radio Clock Signal and update the
time. In the meantime, the clock may be manually set. Once the radio signal is found, it will override the manually
programmed time and date.
If the clock does not update after 48 hours, follow the suggestions below. Then press and hold the DOWN button on the
back of the unit for 2 seconds to send a search for the radio signal again. Check back again 24-48 hours later to see if the
clock has synchronized.
a) Try another location later away from possible sources of interference, such as mobile phones, appliances, computers,
refrigerators, TVs, etc.
b) Radio reception can be weaker in rooms with metal or concrete walls (such as basements) and in offices. Try placing
the base unit close to a window for reception.
c) Daytime conditions such as sunlight and other atmospheric interferences can affect synchronization; try setting the
clock during evening hours.

Note: While searching for the radio signal, only the SNOOZE/LIGHT and DOWN buttons function. All other button
are inactive until the
i

LOW BATTERY
Base unit: replace the batteries if readings grow dim or irregular.
Remote sensor: replace the batteries if the red light on the sensor stops flashing, or if transmission signals seem weak or
irregular.
Always replace all batteries in each unit at the same time; do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard
(carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.
NOTE Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let children handle batteries. If
swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
PRECAUTION Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the units will
not be used for a long period of time.
PROBLEM SOLVING
I. If the base unit does not receive a transmission from the remote sensor for one hour, the outdoor temperature and
humidity displays will show dashes ( - - ). Press and hold for 2 seconds the CH button on the back of the base unit to
force a transmission signal from the base to the remote sensor. Press and hold the TX button in the remote sensor's
battery compartment for 2 seconds to cause the sen or
10
search for the base unit again during its next transmission. If the
connection still fails:
a) Check that the remote is properly positioned, withinthc appropriute trunsmission ran c (200 feel), Transmissions are
vastly affected by building materials and where the receiver and remote units are positioned. Try various set ups for the
best results. Shorten the distance between receiver and remote units when necessary.
b) Check to make sure the transmission path is clear of obstacles and interference.
c) Place the remote sensor closer to the base unit.
d) Remove and reinstall all batteries. Try fresh batteries,
2, If the temperature or ~llImidityis higher than the range of the unit, the display will show HH.H , If the temperature or
humidity ISlower, the display will show LL.L . . .
• Indoor temperature range is 32°F to 122°F (DOCto 50°C),
• Outdoor temperature range transmitted by remote sensor is -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) using alkaline
batteries. (Use of Lithium battenes can extend the range to -40°F to 140°F / -40°C to 60°C,)
• Indoor and outdoor humidity range is 20-95% RH,
3, If the barometric pressure reading is higher than the range of the unit, the display will show HHHH . If the barometric
pressure is lower, the display will show LLLL ,
4. The temperature sensors are manufactured to the accurate within plus or minus 2°F (1°C) within a temperature range
from 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C) and plus or minus 4°F (2°C) outside that range. Therefore, 2 units placed next to each other
may report different readings, This is a normal occurrence with digital sensors and should not be considered a defect.
5. For maximum performance in normal conditions, good quality alkaline batteries are recommended. When temperatures
are below Oaf, alkaline batteries can lose power resulting in a loss of remote transmission, If you reside in an area that
experiences frequent temperatures near or below Oaf, lithium batteries are recommended to minimize the loss of
transmission.
6, If no buttons are functioning, the base unit may be in the process of searching for the WWVB radio signal, indicated by
the radio antenna icon
( i ')
icon blinking next to the clock display, Wait for the base unit to stop the radio signal search
(this may take up to
7
minutes, or press DOWN on the back of the base unit to exit Radio Signal Search Mode.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as doorbells, home security systems and entry controls, may interfere, This is
normal and does not affect the general performance or this product. The transmission will resume once the interference
recedes,
Important Though the remote sensor is weather resistant, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and
should never be submerged in water. Also please note that below 32°F / O°Cthe LCD readout on the remote sensor may
begin to fail to display, When this happens the remote will still transmit correct temperature readings to the receiver unit
but cannot be viewed at the remote location. When the temperature rises above 32°F / O°Cthe display will begin to
function normally again,

PRECAUTIONS
I. The base unit is intended for indoor use only. It is not sealed against moisture and could be damaged if used outdoors. The
remote sensor is weather-resistant but not weather-proof or waterproof. Do not immerse it in water or allow snow to accumulate
on it. Do not leave it outdoors in extreme weather conditions. If these conditions become likely to occur, temporarily move the
sensor to an indoor area. Otherwise, permanent damage to the sensor's internal circuits may occur.
2. Do not immerse the units in water. If you spill liquid on one, dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
3. Do not clean the units with abrasive or corrosive materials. This may scratch plastic parts and corrode electronic circuits.
4. Do not subject units to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity. This may result in malfunction, shorter
electronic life span, damaged batteries or distorted parts.
5. Do not tamper with the unit's internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty on this product and may cause
damage. The units contain no user-serviceable parts.
6. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the units will not be used for a long
period of time.
