RCC function instruction:
The conditions for the radio controlled time reception :
a) Wait 3 minutes or until the outdoor temperature is displayed in the weather
station.
b) The receiver attempt to receive RCC signals on 12:00am, 1:00am, 2:00am and
3:00am. If it receives a valid signal on 12:00 am, it will stop receiving signal until
12:00 am next day. If it cannot receive valid signal on 12:00 am, it will receive
again on 3:00 am; if it receives valid signal on 3:00 am, then it will stop receiving
signal until 1:00 am next day; if it can not receive valid signal on 1:00 am, it will
receive again on 2:00 am, and so on. If the receive cannot receive signals indoor,
the user can set the clock time manually. Also moon phase data collection will not
update when just receiving RCC signal, it will update one hour later.
The conditions for the radio controlled time retreating:
a) Press any key
b) No signals reception in 3 minutes
c) Receiving up to 8 minutes.
d) Receiving successfully
RCC icon
The RCC icon flash every 0.5second when RCC has signals,the icon flash every
1second when no signals.If receiving successfully, the antenna icon show on the
LCD;if not, no icon on LCD. There is no antenna icon while setting change time
manually.

Attention：
a. Possible interference from other sources, the RCC can not receiving signals. In this

situation, you can adjust time and date manually.
b. To able ensure the data accuracy pls change the battery in time while low voltage icon
appear.
c. The wireless weather station can receive up to 3 temperature sensors.However, it should
have three sensors work and each one only transmit one channel data, the channels for
transmitter is setting by factory or users can stir the switch on battery compartment by
selves.Besides, ensure that you leave 10 seconds in between the reception of the last
sensor and the set-up of the following sensor, enable to 3 transmitters match code with
receiver. If you want to use several sets of weather station in same place, pls ensure
leave some seconds between next one power-on so that no interference reception.
d. In the process of transmission, if battery change happened on remote sensor side, then
the base station must be power up again or start RF receiving with 3 minutes manually
to relearn the transmitter.
5.TROUBLESHOOTING
Q 1. No signal from remote sensor
A There can be many reasons for this, the following steps should help you troubleshoot this
problem.
1.1 Make sure that the batteries in the remote sensor are not depleted.
1.2 Reduce the distance between transmitter and receiver.
1.3 Remove the batteries from the base station and the remote sensor and reset the weather
station in the right order as described in section of this manual.
1.4 This problem could also be a result of radio interference in your neighborhood, try
relocating the sensor and the base station.
Q 2 Temperature,humidity or the pressure is incorrect
A Check / Replace the batteries. Also make sure that the remote sensor is not place near
objects that can act as sources of heat or cold. Adjust the relative air pressure value
from a reliable source such as TV or radio.
