Within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into weather station (see “Install and replace batteries in the weather station”).
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION The weather station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. When batteries need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1. Lift up the battery compartment cover. 2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking). 3. Replace compartment cover.
The temperature transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1. 2. 3. Remove the battery compartment cover at the back of the transmitter. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking). Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit.

Press the SET key again to confirm and to enter the month setting. The month will flash. Use the + key to set the month. Press the SET key again to confirm and to enter the date setting mode. The date will flash. Use the + key to set the date.
The default temperature display is set to °F (degree Fahrenheit). To select °C (degree Celsius): 1. The “°F or C” will flash. 2. Use the + key to toggle between “°C” and “°F”. 3. Once the desired temperature unit has been chosen, confirm with the SET key and exit the setting mode. TO EXIT THE MANUAL SETTING MODE To exit the manual setting mode anytime during the manual setting, wait for automatic timeout. The mode will return to normal time display.
For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes.
If the weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), remove the batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in airpressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.
INDOOR MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE RECORDS The current indoor temperature is displayed on the third section of the LCD. Maximum indoor temperature Minimum indoor temperature MIN icon (flashing) 1. MAX icon (flashing) Press and release the INDOOR/RESET key repeatedly, the current indoor temperature will alternate between the MIN/MAX temperature recordings and the current value. OUTDOOR MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE RECORDS The current outdoor temperature is displayed on the last section of the LCD.
1. Press and release the OUTDOOR key repeatedly, the current outdoor temperature will alternate between the MIN/MAX temperature recordings and the current value. RESET INDOOR AND OUTDOOR MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE RECORDS In normal display mode, press and hold the INDOOR/RESET key for 3 seconds to reset ALL indoor and outdoor minimum/maximum records to current values at the same time. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the batteries require changing.
Note: When the 915 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is about 200 feet/100 m from the transmitter to the weather station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels.
To wall mount Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature value can be received from the desired locations. 1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out by about 5mm. 2. Remove the stand from the weather station by pulling it away from the base and hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing. POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER: Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain or sunshine.
To wall mount: 1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. 2. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the bracket. Note: Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the transmitter or move the units slightly as this may help the signal reception.
When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings. Do not submerge the unit in water. Special care shall be taken when handling a damaged LCD display. The liquid crystals can be harmful to user's health. Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their guarantee.
