WIRELESS WEATHER STATIONC-8123/C-8153USER’S INSTRUCTIONSP17812300030
The multifunctional weather station is equipped with manyfunctions providing thorough weather information to you.The receiver unit has a clear, easy-to-read display thatshows weather forecast, indoor temperature, relativehumidity, pressure, moon phase, time and date, as well asthe temperature and relative humidity measured andtransmitted by the sensor. It is able to receive and displayreadings from up to 3 remote sensors.The receiver unit retains the minimum and maximumtemperatures and relative humidity readings measured atvarious locations. The 433 MHz technology means no wireinstallation is required and you can place the sensorsanywhere you like.With radio controlled function, the current time and dateare automatically synchronized with the time signaltransmitted from Frankfurt Germany (DCF77) / UK (MSF) /US (WWVB). The signal can cover a distance of about 1500km from the related transmitter.Note:C-8153 is without humidity.1p.FCC Remarks:This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
