2.4 Display Console Set Up
Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the
batteries.
Move the remote thermo-hygrometer at least 10’ away from the display console (if the sensor is too
close, it may not be received by the display console).
Remove the battery door on the back of the display. Insert three AA (alkaline or lithium, avoid
rechargeable) batteries in the back of the display console. Looking at the back of the unit (left to right),
the polarity is (+) (-) for the top battery, (-) (+) for the middle battery and (+) (-) for the bottom battery.
The display will beep once and all of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all
segments are operating properly.
Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position.
The console will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, barometer, tendency, date and time.
The outdoor temperature and humidity will update on the display within a few minutes. Do not touch
any buttons until the remote sensor reports in, otherwise the remote sensor search mode will be
terminated. When the remote sensor data has been received, the console will automatically switch to
the normal mode, and all further settings can be performed.
If the remote does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 7.
2.4.1 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC)
The RCC is received by the remote sensor and transmitted to the main console to improve reception.
After the remote sensor is powered up, the sensor will transmit weather data for 30 seconds, and then
the sensor will begin radio controlled clock (RCC) reception. During the RCC time reception period
(maximum 10 minutes), no weather data will be transmitted to avoid interference.
If the signal reception is not successful within 1 minute, the signal search will be cancelled and will
automatically resume every two hours until the signal is successfully captured. The regular RF link
will resume once RCC reception routine is finished. In some locations, RCC reception may take a
couple of days to receive the signal. The temperature and humidity data will continue to transmit
during this period.
