SET UP NOTE: Use good quality alkaline batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor close together during setup. 2. Place the batteries into the remote sensor first then into the weather station. See below. INSTALLING THE BATTERIES REMOTE SENSOR (FIG 1) 1.

• If the indoor weather station does not display these values after 1 minute, the signal search will try again every two hours until a signal is found. • Once the remote sensor temperature and humidity values are displayed for 10 minutes you can place the sensor outdoors. RADIO TIME SIGNAL After the initial setup period, the weather station will start to search for a radio time signal. The time and date signal is sent by a highly accurate government-operated atomic clock.
MOUNTING BASE STATION • There is a folding stand at the rear of the base station, which allows the unit to be stood onto any flat surface. • The base station may also be wall mounted using the hanging hole on the rear of the unit. NOTE: It is important to check that the radio signal can be received at the chosen location before permanently mounting either of the units. REMOTE SENSOR NOTE: To obtain acurate temperature readings, do not mount the remote sensor in direct sunlight.
USING THE WEATHER STATION WEATHER FORECASTING Sunny Partly Cloudy Cloudy Rain The four weather icons Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rainy represent the weather types. NOTE: Weather forecasting is based upon the change of air pressure.The pressure threshold can be adjusted from level 2-4 (default level 2). See “General Settings” on page 9. Areas that experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting.
STORM WARNING When there is a fall in pressure (above the threshold) over a period of 3 hours, the storm warning feature will activate. • The “cloud with rain” icon and tendency arrows will flash for 3 hours indicating the storm warning feature has been activated. NOTE: The storm threshold can be adjusted by the user from level 3-9 (default level 4). See page 9.

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem & cause Remedy No reception - Distance between transmitters and receiver too great. Reduce distance between transmitter and receiver to receive signal. No reception - High shielding materials between the units (thick walls, steel, concrete, isolating aluminum foil etc.) Find a different location for sensor and/or receiver. Interference from other sources (e.g. wireless radio, headset, speaker, etc. operating on the same frequency).
