3. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

3.1 Important Information

●In order to get the full screen brightness and easy visability of all numbers and symbols,

we recommend you use the included mains adaptor rather than batteries for the main

unit.

●The remote sensor will work better if the main unit is powered by the included mains

adaptor rather than batteries.

●Regarding the wireless remote sensor (which can be positioned indoors or outdoors),

if it is used outside particulatly in cold conditions we recommend the use of Lithium AA

(requires 2) batteries as this will result in a more powerful signal and ensure no signal

loss. This is only precautionary advice and the remote sensor does work ne with normal

Alkaline batteries.

●The weather station needs to be powered for 12 hours before an accurate predition will

display.

3.2 Initial Operation

●Open the Weather Station Battery compartment.

●Insert 2 x AA batteries observing the correct polarity (+ and - marks) or connect the

mains power. Close the battery compartment.

●When the power is connected all the icons on the LCD display will light up for 3 seconds,

you will hear a beep tone and the weather station will start to detect the indoor

temperature and humidity.

●Next the Weather Station will attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor. This lasts

approximately 3 minutes and is displayed by the RF icon ashing.

●Remove the battery compartment on the Wireless Outdoor Sensor, insert 2 x

AAA batteries observing the correct polarity (+ and - marks) and close the battery

compartment.

●Once the weather station has created a connetion to the outdoor sensor the clock will

start automatically searching for the WWVB Signal to set the time and date.

●If Weather Station failed to receive transmission from outdoor sensor (“- -” is displayed

on the LCD), press and hold -button for 3 seconds to receive transmission manually.

The RF icon will ash on the LCD and the outdoor temperature will show when it is

connected.

3.3 Backlight

●When using battery power the backlight will be o. Press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button to

enable the backlight for 15 seconds.

●When using Mains power the backlight will be lit automatically. Press the SNOOZE/

LIGHT button to adjust the backlight. The backlight has three settings on mains power

High Brightness / Low Brightness / No Backlight.

4. TIME AND CALENDAR SETTINGS

4.1 Automatic Time/Date Setting

●The Weather Station automatically starts the WWVB Signal search after 7 minutes of any

restart or change of batteries.

●To manually start the WWVB signal search, press and hold down the +button for 2

seconds.

●The radio mast icon will ash showing it is searching for signal.

●Once the signal is found the Time and Date will be automatically set. If no signal is

found within 7 minutes the radio mast icon will dissapear and it will automatically start

searching again in 1 hour.

4.2 Automatic Time/Date Further Information

●During the WWVB signal search mode only the SNOOZE/LIGHT and +button will

function, all other buttons have no function. If you wish to carry out any other functions

press the +button to cancel the WWVB signal search.

●A ashing radion mast icon indicates that the WWVB signal search is in progress.

●A continuously displayed radio mast icon indicates that the WWVB signal has been

received successfully.

●At 1:00 / 2:00 / 3:00am the Weather Station automatically carries out a synchronization

procedure with the WWVB signal to correct any deviations to the exact time. If this

synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (The radio mast symbol disappears from the

display), the system will automatically attempt another synchronization at the next full

hour. This procedure is repeated automatically up to 5 times.

●If the clock cannot receive the WWVB signal you have the option of setting the time

manually and instructions can be found on page 7. As soon as the reception of the

WWVB signal is received the Weather Station is re-adjusted automatically.

●We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters (8.2 Feet) to all sources of

interference, such as televisions or computer monitors.

●Radio reception can be weaker in rooms with concrete walls and in oces. In such

extreme circumstances, place the system close to the window for better signal reception.

7.2 Temperature Trend Display

After you insert the batteries, the weather station measures the current temperature. The

trend display shows a neutral temperature course . The further course of the trend

display is determined as follows:

●If, after an hour, the temperature is more than 1°C higher than the value measured rst,

then a positive course is displayed .

●If, after an hour, the temperature is more than 1°C lower than the value measured rst,

then a negative course is displayed .

●If the temperature does not change within an hour, then the upward or downward

pointing arrow becomes a horizontal arrow. The measured temperature is then taken as

the neutral value from which further prognoses are made.

7.4 Maximum/Minimum Temperature

show on the weather station.

8. HUMIDITY AND AIR PRESSURE INFORMATION

8.1 Relative Humidity Trend Display

After you insert the batteries, the weather station measures the current relative humidity.

The trend display shows a neutral relative humidity course . The further course of the

trend display is determined as follows:

●If, after an hour, the relative humidity is more than 5% higher than the value measured

rst, then a positive course is displayed .

●If, after an hour, the relaive humidity is more than 5% lower than the value measured

rst, then a negative course is displayed .

●If the relative humidity does not change within an hour, the the upward or downward

pointing arrow becomes a horizontal arrow. The measured relative humidity is then

taken as the neutral value from which further prognoses are made.

8.2 Maximum/Minimum Relative Humidity

●The Weather Station will automatically show the daily Max and Min Relative Humidity

once it starts receiving readings. These will reset at 0.00 automatically.

8.3 Barometric Pressure Display

●The current barometric pressure is automatically shown on the Weather Station once it

starts receiving readings.

●The barometric pressure can be displayed in either mb/hPa, inHg or mmHg. The units

can be slected when by following in the manual time setup on page 7.

●If the barometric pressure reading is below the minimum range, then LLLL will be

displayed. If the barometric pressure reading is above the maximum range, then HHHH

will be displayed.

8.4 Relative Barometric Pressure History

The relative barometric pressure history can be displayed to view the air pressure changes

over the last 0-12 hours.

Press the +button repeatedly to display the recorded barometric pressure during the last

0-12 hours. The numeric recorded air pressure will be displayed according to the hour.

●0HR = Present barometric pressure.

●-1HR = Barometric pressure an hour earlier.

●-2HR = Barometric pressure an two hours earlier, etc.

Note: After 20 seconds without pressing any button the clock will switch back to the current

barometric pressure reading.
