BEFORE YOU BEGIN

For best operation:

Insertbatteries forthe remoteunit first.Then proceedwith inserting

the batteries for the main unit.

Position the remote unit and the main unit within effective

transmission range. In usual circumstances, the effective range is

30 meters.

Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be placed away

from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

MAIN FEATURES:

REMOTE SENSOR UNIT

Theremotesensorisawirelessindependentcomponent.Itsfunction

is to monitor temperatures at a location other than the location of

the main unit.

BATTERY INSTALLATION:

REMOTE UNIT

The remote unit uses two UM-4 or “AAA” size alkaline batteries.

Installation:

1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.

2. Select the desired temperature scale by switching the °C/°F

switch located inside the battery compartment.

3. Select the channel number on the CHANNEL slide switch. Note

that once a channel is assigned to a remote unit, you can only

change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.

4. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown

inside the battery compartment.

5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.

Note: Disposed of improperly, batteries can be harmful.

Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries to

authorized disposal stations.

BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT

1. Gently lift the tab on the battery compartment door.

2. Insert four UM-3 or “AA” size alkaline batteries.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

Note: For both the remote sensor and the main unit, replace batteries when

they are low. The low battery indicator [ ] in the indoor or / and outdoor

temperature window will be displayed when the batteries are low.

HOW TO READ THE KINETIC

WAVE DISPLAY

The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the

main unit. There are three possible forms:

The unit is in searching mode.

Channel registered in search mode.

No signal received in search mode.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home

security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of

this product and cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal

and does not affect the general performance of the product. The

transmission and reception of temperature readings will resume

once the interference recedes.

NOTE ON °C AND °F

The unit of temperature display is selected on the °C/°F slide

switch. Select °C for Centigrade or °F for Fahrenheit.

Note: Theremotetemperaturedisplayonthemainunitisdominated

bytheselectiononthe °C/°F slideswitchofthemainunit. Whatever

the display units of the remote sensors, they will be automatically

converted to the choice of the main unit.

WEATHER FORECAST FUNCTION

The unit is capable of detecting atmospheric pressure changes.

Basedoncollecteddata,itcanpredicttheweatherfortheforthcoming

12 to 24 hours. The effective range covers an area of 30 to 50 km.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM

TEMPERATURES

The maximum and minimum recorded temperatures will be

automatically stored in memory. To display them, press MEM.

Press MEM again to alternate between the maximum, minimum,

and current temperatures. The respective MAX or MIN indicator

will be displayed.

Toclearthememory,pressMEMbuttonandholdforthreeseconds.

Themaximum and minimum-recordedtemperatures will be erased.

Subsequently,if youpress MEMafter thememory hasbeen erased,

the maximum and minimum temperature will have the same values

as the current reading.

DISCONNECTED SIGNALS

If without obvious reasons the display for a particular channel

goesblank,pressCHANNELandMEMsimultaneously toenforce

an immediate search. If that fails, check:

1. The remote unit of that channel is still in place

2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit. Replace if

necessary.

Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point, the

batteries of outdoor units will freeze lowering their voltage

supply and the effective range.

3. Thetransmissioniswithinrangeandthepathis clear of obstacles

and interference.

Shorten the distance when necessary.

NOTE:

1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather forecast is

about 70% to 75%.

2. The weather forecasts from this unit are predictions that cover

the next 12 to 24 hours. It may not necessarily reflect the current

situation.

3. The “Sunny” icon, as applies to nighttime, implies clear weather.

CALENDAR CLOCK DISPLAY MODES

The BAR113 supports four time display modes in the sequence of:

MODE 1. Hour-Minute-Second (of local time)

Day-Month (of local time)

MODE 2. Hour-Minute-Day of the Week (of local time)

Day-Month (of local time)

MODE 3. Hour-Minute-Day of the Week (of local time)

Hour-Minute

MODE4. Hour-Minute-Day of the Week

Day-Month

Each press on the MODE button will toggle the display in the

above order.

Note: The bottom line of the display will be replaced by the alarm

time if the ALARM [ ] button is pressed.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The BAR113 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar

clock once it is brought within range of the UK Rugby MSF-60

radio signal.

When the BAR113 is within range, its radio-control mechanism

will override all manual settings.

When the unit is receiving radio signal, the RADIO RECEPTION

signal will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes

about two to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio

signal.

When the reception is complete, the RADIO RECEPTION signal

will stop blinking. The strength of the reception will remain until

the next scanning cycle backs place.

For better reception, place the clock away from metal objects and

electrical appliances to minimize interference.

If you wish to disable the auto-reception feature, press the

buttonforthreeseconds.Theradioreceptionsignal[ ]willdisappear.

The unit will not respond to radio signals.

To enable the feature again, press the button for three seconds.

The radio reception signal [ ] will start blinking to initiate

reception automatically.

HOW TO SET THE CLOCK MANUALLY

Toset theclock manually,hold MODE/SETfor threeseconds. The

hour digits will blink.

Press or select the hour. Keep pressing the button to in-

crease or decrease the value rapidly.

Press MODE/SET to confirm. The minute digits will blink.

Repeat the same procedure to set the minutes, current date, month,

display language, day-of-week and offset for the alternate time

zone.

Note: The time and date are displayed in 12-HOUR clock format.

For the language display, you can choose among English (E),

German (D), French (F) and Italian (I). Day-of-week is in the usual

sequence of Monday through Sunday.

For the alternate time zone, which is indicated by the ZONE icon,

enterthehour offsetusingthe and buttons andtheBAR113

will calculate the second time accordingly.

If there is an item you do not wish to change, simply press MODE/

SET to bypass the item.

When you are done, press MODE/SET to exit. The display will

return to the mode last chosen.

When an alarm is armed, it will go off at the set time.

The four-step crescendo function allows the alarm to start off

gently and step up its intensity. Without interruption, the alarm

will go off for a total of two minutes.

If a second alarm goes off when the first alarm is sounding off, the

first alarm will be disabled automatically.

HOW TO STOP AN ALARM

Tostopanalarm,youcanuseeitherpress [ ]buttonor[ALON/

Pressing [ ] or [AL ON/OFF] will stop the alarm, which is still

armed and will activate at the set time the following day.

If [AL ON/OFF] button is pressed again, the alarm will be stopped

and deactivated all together.

NOTE ON OUTDOOR-REMOTE

TEMPERATURE

Once batteries are in place in the remote unit, it will start

transmitting samplings at 30-second intervals.

If no signals are received when the outdoor-remote temperature is

selected, “ ” will be displayed. To force the main unit to

search for remote sensor signals, press MEM and CHANNEL

buttons simultaneously.

If that fails, check that the remote sensor is still in place. Make sure

the transmission is within range and the path is clear of obstacles

and interference.

NOTE ON SETTING REMOTE SENSOR

CHANNELS

The unit has an auto-scan function that sequentially displays

temperature readings of up to three remote sensors. In order to

function properly, each remote sensor must be set to different

channels.

THE RESET BUTTON

The button is only used when the unit is operating in an unfavorable

way or malfunctioning. Use a blunt stylus to hold down the button.

All settings will return to their default values.

HOW TO WALL-MOUNT OR USE THE

TABLE STAND

The unit can be wall-mounted using its recessed screw holes or

place on a flat surface by attaching the table stand.
