SECTION 2 - SETUP
A/B/C Vlfireless ID Selection
To allow for more than one weather station and wireless sensor network to be
used In close proximity. the main unit and both wireless sensors have a small
switch labeled ‘A B C" in the battery compartments. These switches are all
factory preset into the same position (either A, B. or C). This switch selects one
of 3 wireless modes to use. and all 3 switches in al 3 components MUST be
set in matching positions (either A. B. or C) for wireless communication to take
place successfully. See page i i for more detais.
install Batteries
Batteries must be installed intoall three of the wireless sensors BEFORE
installing batteries into the main display unit. Use only fresh or new batteries
In al cases. and Install correctly according to the polarity
( - a. + isymbols marked on the batteries and in the battery compartments.
We suggest using lithium batteries for better cold weather performance. Do
not mix old and new batteries

Main Unit Startup
After batteries are installed in both wireless sensors and the main unit is
powered up, the main unit will search for the wireless sensor signals After the
sensors signals are received, the main unit will search for the atomic clodt
signal. After the atomic clock signal is received. the time and date will be
maintained automatically. This may take up to 24 hours and may not occur at
all depending on your geographical location and your physical surroundings.
See 'troubleshoou‘ng‘ for atomic clock tips.
You may ‘force’the unit to search for the atomic clock at any time by pressing
and holding the '-'button on the back of the main unit for 3 seconds.
Time & Date Setup
It is recommended that the time and date be manually set initially to ensure
that they are accurate until the atomic clock signal is captured.
To enter into SET MODE. press and hold the “SET" button for 3 seconds.
Use the '—”and ‘+“ buttons to adjust the selected preference, press the‘SET'
button again to confirm the adjustment and move on to the next preference.
The main unit wrll automatically exit out of SET MOD€ after a 10 second
period of inactivity.
SET MODE in this order:
1, Time zone (Pacific. Mountain. Central. Eastern)
2, Daylight Saving Time [DST on or oil)
3. Time lhourfirst, then minutes)
4. Year
5, Month
6. Date
Scale Setup
Vou may choose to display readings in US. or Metric scales (example "F or°Cl.
To change the scale prelerences. enter into scale set mode.
To enter into SCALE MODE press the "SCALE'button.
Use the'-"and ‘+“buttons to adjust the selected preference, press the'SCALE"
button again to confirm the adjustment and move on to the next preference.
SECTION 3 . PLACEMENT
Now that setup is complete. you must choose a location to place the 3
wireless sensors and the main unit. The wireless sensors MUST be placed LESS
THAN 100 feet away from the main unit.
This wireless weather station uses radio frequency for communication, whidi
Is susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic
items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from
appliances ( TV. micrmvave, radios. etc. ) or objects ( large metal surfaces,
thick stone walls, etc ) that may interfere with the wireless corrununication

into the bracket.
Z The sensor must be mounted
with the bracket pointing NORTH
as indicated on the bracket and on
the top surface of the wind sensor itself. The wireless wind sensor should be
mounted high above all potential wind obstructions for maximum
performance. keeping In mind it must remain within the 100 ft. wireless
range of the main display unit.
Attadi to a solid surface utilizing screws and wall anchors (lfappllcable).
Dependng on the mounting surface. other steps may need to take place to

COVER
This wireless weather station uses long range 4133th radio frequency
for communication.
In the event that you have reception problems due to interference,
both the main unit and both wireless sensors have a selectable
wireless ID. The ID switches are located within the battery
compartments of the main unit and the wind sensor. The switch is
located near the battery compartment cover on the temperature
sensor.
You may choose A, B or C; but both the main units and the wireless
sensors ID's must match for successful synchronization.
