b) Connecting the mains adapter
The weather station is operated via the supplied mains adapter.
First plug the round barrel connector of the supplied mains adapter into the power supply jack on the back of the
display console and then connect the mains adapter to a 230V mains socket. Any inserted batteries are switched off
automatically.
The text „WAIT FOR TRANSMISSION“ appears in the lower part of the display (see Chapter 10 d),
Section 9). The weather station is attempting to contact the outdoor sensors (e.g. after power failure).
During this time the weather station can not be operated. This may take several minutes, please wait.
„MIN MAX RESET CFG“ is then displayed in the lower display section.
c) Inserting batteries
Remove the cover of the battery compartment and insert four AA batteries with correct polarity into the battery
compartment, see illustration in chapter 9 a).
The four AA batteries (1.5V, alkaline recommended) are for backup operation. Not all functions of the
weather station are available during battery-powered operation.
Close the battery compartment.
d) Connection to the computer
To connect the weather station to a computer, plug the supplied USB cable with the miniature USB connector to the
USB port of WS888.
The connector at the other end of the cable is connected to one of the computer’s USB ports.

X General
Before installing or wall-mounting the display console, make sure that the quality of the reception is good at the
desired location (measured data of the outdoor sensor(s)).
You should set up or install the display console as far away as possible from electric devices or metallic objects.
Moreover, the display console must be located as far away as possible from heaters or the measured values for the
inside temperature and indoor humidity will be useless.
For the same reason, you should not place the console into direct sunlight or next to a window or door (drafty).

X Wall mounting
There is an eyebolt on the back of the display console for mounting it to a suitable vertical wall.
Since the display console is rather heavy, it must be mounted securely. Depending on the structure of
your wall, use an appropriate nail or screw (with wall plug).
