Installing the BatteriesNote: Please note the polarity when inserting/replacing batteries in the unit,failure to do so may result in permanent damage. Use good quality AlkalineBatteries and avoid rechargeable ) Insert two AAA batteries into the remote sensor.

4 After the remote sensor is poweredup, the sensor will transmit WEATHER data every 8s for 16 times. After this learningperiod is over, then the transmitter will transmit every ) Insert two AA batteries into the WEATHER STATION . When the base STATION is poweredup, a short beep will sound and all LCD segments will light up for about 4 secondsbefore it enters into learning mode to learn the sensors security code. Every timethe remote sensor is powered up (for example after a change of batteries), arandom security code is transmitted and this code must be synchronized with thebase STATION to receive WEATHER if battery change happened onremote sensor side, then the base STATION must be power up again to re-learnthe ) Wait 3 minutes or until the outdoor temperature is displayed in the WEATHER anykeys before outdoor sensor data wirelessweather STATION can receive up to 3 temperature sensors.

5 If you have purchasedadditional remote sensors, repeat step 1) for all extra sensors. However, ensure thatyou leave 10 seconds in between the reception of the last sensor and the set-up ofthe following sensor. The WIRELESS WEATHER STATION will number the sensors in theorder of set-up, the first temperature sensor will have the temperature only have one sensor,CH1won t be ) After the learning mode, the base STATION will start the radio controlled timereception. The receiver will start RCC time reception period for 10 minutesmaximum, and no WEATHER data will be received during this period of time. If RCCsignal can t be synchronized with the base STATION within 1 minute, the signal searchwill be cancelled and will automatically resume every hour on the hour until thesignal is successfully captured.

6 Regular RF link will be established once RCCreception routine is ) Mount the units, ensuring that the receiver can still pick up the signal from thetransmitter. To measure outdoor temperature, place the transmitter outdoors. It willtransmit the temperature from its : DO NOT PRESS ANYKEYon the base STATION until the first set of data isdisplay on the LCD. This ensures that the base STATION has synchronized with thesensors and that the system is now functioning. If a key is pressed before theweather STATION receives the temperature signal, you will need to follow the batteryinstallation procedure wait 10 seconds before re-insert thebattery again to make a proper reset for both transmitter and for Radio Controlled Time:The time and date display is based on the signal provided by the highly accurategovernment operated atomic clock.

7 The base STATION will continue to scan for theradio controlled time signal each day at 2:00, 8:00, 14:00 and 20:00 despite it beingmanually set. If reception has been unsuccessful, then the radio controlled timeicon will not appear but reception will still be attempted continually. If reception hasbeen successful, the received time and date will overwrite the manually set timeand :Please participate in the preservation of the environment by properly disposingof all used-up batteries and accumulators at designated disposal points. Neverdispose of batteries in a fire as this may cause explosion, risk of fire or leakage-4-of dangerous chemicals and Base StationWith one foldable legs at the back of the unit,the base STATION can be placed onto anyflat surface or wall mounted at the desired location by the hanging holes at the back ofthe unit.

8 It is important to check that the radio signal can be received before permanentlymounting any of the Remote SensorNote:The temperature sensor is " WEATHER resistant", butnot "water proof". To ensure an extended life of yoursensor, mount it in a semi-covered place out of theelements. An ideal location for the sensors is under theeaves. Mount the sensor 18" down from the eaves toensure optimum performance, avoid mounting remotesensor in direct sunlight. obstacles such as walls,concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the wall mount, use 3 screws to affix the wall bracket to thedesired wall, plug in the remote sensor to the Base unit-LCDThe following illustration shows a normal LCD display for description purposes WEATHER tendency arrow2.

The backlight willbe switched on for approximately 5 seconds before automatically switching WEATHER forecastingThe four WEATHER icons Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rainy represent the weatherforecasting. There are also two WEATHER tendency indicators to show the air CloudyCloudyRainyFor every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the WEATHER icons will updateaccordingly to represent the change in WEATHER .

10 If the icons do not change, then it meanseither the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the wirelessweather STATION to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, therewill be no change of icon if the WEATHER gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (withrainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes. The icons displayed forecaststhe WEATHER in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy aseach icon indicates. For example, if the current WEATHER is cloudy and the rainy icon isdisplayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining.
