2. Insert the batteries in the first transmitter.
3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries in the Temperature Station.
Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor
temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If these information are not displayed on the LCD
after 60 seconds, remove the batteries from both units and wait for at least 60 seconds before
reinserting them.
4. The outdoor temperature data from the first transmitter (channel 1) should then be displayed on the
Temperature Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2
minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
5. Insert the batteries in the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperature readings from the
first transmitter are displayed on the Temperature Station.
Note : User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 45 seconds after the
Temperature Station displays the information of the first transmitter.
6. The outdoor temperature from the second transmitter and the "channel 2" icon should then be
21
displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need
to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.
7. Insert the batteries in the third transmitter as soon as the "channel 2" icon and outdoor data are
displayed on the Temperature Station. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the
third transmitter will be displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third transmitter
is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.
Note : User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 45 seconds after the
Temperature Station displays the information of the first transmitter. Or immediately after reception of
the second transmitter is finished.
8. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, the distance between the Weather
Station and the transmitter should not be more than 100 meters (see notes on “Positioning” and
“868 MHz Reception”).
IMPORTANT:
Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described above.
Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again
the set-up from step 1.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION
The Temperature Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. If the batteries need
to be replaced, the low battery symbol will appear on the LCD.
To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Insert finger or other solid ob ect in the space at the bottom center of the
battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).
22
3. Replace compartment cover.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature Transmitter uses 2 x AA, IECLR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and
replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Slide the battery cover downwards and remove.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery cover.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by
following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned
by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Temperature Station in the
first three minutes of power being supplied to it.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of
these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an
authorized depot.
LCD SCREEN
The Temperature Station’s LCD is comprised of three lines and once the batteries are inserted, all the
segments will light up momentarily before displaying:
23

Indoor Temperature
in ºC or °F
Outdoor
Temperature
in ºC or °F Outdoor transmission signal*
Transmitter identification number
1. Time “_;_ _”
2. Indoor and outdoor temperature in degree Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F)
* When the signal is successfully received by the Weather Station, the outdoor transmission icon will be
switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown on LCD). The user can then easily see whether
the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon
shows that a reception is currently taking place.
12 OR 24 HOUR SETTING:
After the batteries are inserted, set the time display as follow:
1. Press and hold the “SET CHANNEL” key about 3 seconds to enter the set mode
24
2. Either a “: 12h” or “: 24h” will appear on the LCD. If “: 12h” is displayed then the current time display
is set to 12-hour time. If “: 24h” is displayed then the current time is set to 24-hour time.
3.
To alternate between the two times display mode, simply press the “RESET + MIN MAX” key.

“SET CHANNEL” key to exit the setting mode. Your Temperature Station is now fully operational.
USING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
INDOOR TEMPERATURE:
The indoor temperature is displayed on the second line of the LCD under the time. The Temperature
Station’s built in sensor automatically measures the temperature once the batteries are inserted.
25
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM INDOOR TEMPERATURE RECORDINGS:
By pressing the “RESET + MIN MAX” key the current indoor temperature will alternate between the
minimum, maximum and current temperature recordings (also changes for outdoor temperature). Once a
new indoor temperature high or low is reached, it will automatically set into the Temperature Station’s
memory.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE READING:
The outdoor temperature reading is on the bottom line of the LCD under the indoor temperature. The
Temperature Station receives the outdoor temperature via 868 MHz frequency when the batteries are
inserted into the transmitter within the 2 minutes of the setting up time (See Setting up above).
Note: Should the outdoor temperature not be received within 2 minutes after inserting the batteries into
a transmitter, then see “Checking 868 MHz reception” below.
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE READING:
By pressing the “RESET + MIN MAX” key the current indoor and outdoor temperature will alternate between
the minimum, maximum and current temperature recordings. Once a new outdoor temperature high or is low
reached, it will automatically be set into the Temperature Station’s memory.
RESETTING THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORDING:
By pressing and holding down the “RESET + MIN MAX” key for about 3 seconds, both the indoor and
outdoor minimum and maximum temperature recordings will be reset to the current indoor and outdoor
26
temperatures. Only the outdoor temperature display on the LCD will be reset. To reset an outdoor
temperature moves to the desired transmitter no.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE 1, 2, AND 3
If the more than one transmitter is being used, to alternate between the temperature readings of transmitter
1, 2, and 3, simply press the “SET CHANNEL” key. If the reading is from transmitter 1, then the
identification numbers 1 will be displayed in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD. The same will
apply to the next transmitter and so on. However, if only one transmitter is used, no identification number
will be displayed on the LCD.
CHECKING FOR 868 MHz RECEPTION:
In normal surroundings (for example away from interfering sources such as TV sets), the outdoor
temperature can usually be easily received within 2 minutes. If the outdoor temperature is not displayed on
the LCD after 2 minutes, then check the following:
1. The distance of the units should be at least 1.5 - 2.0 meters away from interfering sources such as
computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid placing the units onto or in the immediate proximity of metal doors, window frames or
structures.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones and speakers that operate on the same signal
(868 MHz) can prevent the transmission pick up.
4. Neighbours using electrical products operating on the 868 MHz signal can also cause interference.
In most severe cases, the reception is only possible once all other electrical products using the 868
MHz are switched off.
5. Within thick concrete rooms such as basements and tower blocks, the 868 MHz signal can be
weakened (avoid placing near metal frames and structures).
