Fahrenheit \ Celsius InHg or hPa Pressure Number Atomic Time Signal -WWVB • Your station will search for the atomic signal at UTC 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00. • If there is no WWVB signal reception, your station will search every 2 hours until the WWVB time is received. • The atomic time signal icon (tower) will flash while searching, and be solid when connected. • Press and release the SEARCH button to manually search for the WWVB atomic time signal.
Moon Phases The moon phase is based on the Lunar Calendar and updates when the year, month and date set (manually or by the WWVB atomic time signal). New Moon Waxing Crescent First Quarter Waxing Gibbous Full Moon Waning Gibbous Last Quarter Waning Crescent Seasonal Changes in Foliage •Your weather station will change to reflect the seasons. • The trees and foliage will change to give you a fresh look. • The dates are programmed into your weather station for an automatic foliage change.
Pressure Readings Your station provides Relative Barometric Pressure in: • Numbers-programmable in the settings menu • History Graph- provides pressure trend for the past 24 hours Pressure number: • Your station will acclimate to the correct pressure without setting it yourself. • You also have the option of setting the pressure number to match your local reporting station by using the settings menu.
Weather Forecast Icons • The forecast icons are determined by your station's barometric pressure reading. Please allow 7-10 days for calibration. • Six forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather conditions for the next 12-hours. • When Outdoor temperature is below 32˚F and the forecast shows RAIN or T-STORM, the station will display SNOW.

Forecast Trend Arrows The arrows by the word FORECAST, indicate the change in pressure over the past 3 hours. • UP ARROW: Pressure is rising • RIGHT ARROW: Pressure is unchanged • DOWN ARROW: Pressure is falling HI | LO Temperature/Humidity • All HI/LO temperature/humidity records reset automatically at 12:00 (midnight). • Press the TEMP button to view HI/LO records, Heat Index and Dew Point. º Press once to view HI temperature/humidity records. º Press again to view LO temperature/humidity records.
Temperature/Humidity Trend Arrows • The UP and DOWN arrows indicate changes in temperature and humidity over the past hour. • They update every 15 minutes and compare data from exactly one hour prior. Temperature: arrow changes every 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Hold the ALERTS button to enter alert menu. • Outdoor LO ALERT ON | OFF will flash. Alert ON: 1. Press the + or - button to arm the alert. Press the ALERTS button to make the armed alerts value flash. 2. Press the + or - button to set the alert value (Hold to set quickly). 3. Press ALERTS button to move to next alert. 4. Press the LIGHT button at any time to exit. Alert OFF: 1. Alerts are OFF unless armed. If you do not wish to set an alert, simply press the ALERTS button again to move to the next alert.
Active Alert • The alert icon will only show when the alert is active, and will indicate HI or LO alert. • When armed alert value is reached, station will beep 5 times, once each minute, until out of alert range. • The flashing alert icon will indicate whether it is a LO or HI alert that is sounding. • Press any button to stop the alert from sounding. • The alert icon will still flash while value is in alert range. Disarm Alert: 1. Hold the ALERTS button to enter alert setting menu. 2.
Low Battery Icon • By indoor temperature; replace batteries in station. • By outdoor temperature; replace batteries in the sensor. Sensor Search • If your signal is lost, your station will display its LAST DATA recorded from your sensor for 10 minutes. • After that 10 minutes if the signal does not come back, dashes will show. • From the main screen hold the SEARCH button to search for your outdoor sensor. • The sensor reception icon will animate while searching for your sensor.
Station Restart A factory restart of your station will return it to its default settings and “out of the box” condition. This may resolve connection issues with your sensor. 1. Be sure there are fresh batteries in your sensor and station. 2. Hold the ALERTS and LIGHT button together for 5 seconds to restart the station. Position TX141TH-Bv2 Sensor • To mount the sensor, use the hole at the top to either hang it from the back using a nail, or insert one mounting screw through the front of your sensor.
Position Weather Station • Pull out the stand and place on a flat surface. • Or use the hanging holes on the back to mount on a wall. • Choose a location 6 feet or more away from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, etc. • Place within range of the outdoor sensors (330 ft, 100m open air). • Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Care and Maintenance • Do not mix old and new batteries. • Do not mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium, or Rechargeable Batteries. • Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for intended use. • Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. • Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. • Ensure the batteries are installed with correct polarity (+ and -). • Remove batteries from equipment when it is not used for an extended period of time.
