NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of more of the following measures:
. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Under the environment with radio frequency interference, the unit

4.
Avoid exposing the wireless remote unit to extreme temperatures, water or
severe shock.
Do not expose the main unit to conditions of excessive force, shock, dust,
extreme temperature, direct sunlight or humidity. Any of these conditions may
shorten the life of the clock.
Do not tamper with any of the internal components of the unit. This will void
die warranty under the above conditions
Use only fresh batteries. Mixing old and new batteries may cause battery leakage,
Quick Start
1.
4.
To enable the automatic temperature-sensing backlight, plug the main unit
into the wall outlet using the included 12V adapter. In case of a power outage,
insert 4 AA batteries into the battery compartment on the rear of the main unit
ensuring proper polarities are observed.
Insert 2 AA batteries into the battery compartment on die remote unit ensuring
proper polarities are obsen/ed. Be sure the main unit and the remote transmitter
unit are in sync and the outside temperature is displayed.
. After a few minutes, place the remote transmitter unit in die desired outdoor
location within 100 feet of the main unit. If necessary, screw the included wall-
mount bracket to a convenient outdoor location and place the remote unit
inside die bracket For best results, the remote unit should be placed within
sight of the main unit, such as outside the closest window.
Place the main unit as close as possible to die outdoor remote unit. The
remote/outdoor temperature will be shown on the main unit.
Note: For more details on synchronization, please refer to ”Wireless Remote
Temperature Transmission."

. After the batteries have been inserted in the main unit and in the remote
transmitter unit, the LCD on the remote should show current temperature. In
a few minutes, the remote temperature is shown in the outside-temperature
field on the main unit. If at least 10 minutes pass and the outside temperature
field displays ”- -" instead of the remote unit‘s temperature, see the
”Troubleshooting" seaion. Be sure the main unit and the remote transmitter
unit are in sync and the outdoor temperature is displayed on the main unit.
After a few minutes, place the remote uansmitter unit in the desired outdoor
location within 100 feet of the main unit. Place the main unit as close as possi-
ble to the outdoor remote unit. For best results, the remote unit should be
placed within sight of the main unit, such as outside the closest window If
necessary, screw the included wall-mount bracket to a convenient outdoor
location and place the remote unit inside the bracket. The remote/outdoor
temperature will be shown on the main unit. Obstacles, walls, etc. reduce the
range significantly. The remote should be placed where it will not experience
weather extremes such as rain, snow, direct sunlight, etc. This allows you to
receive an accurate outside temperature reading and weather forecast.
Note: For more details on synchronization, please refer to “Wireless Remote
Temperature Transmission."

The local weather forecast and weather tendency are predicted using the rate
of change in atmospheric pressure determined by a precisely mlibrated pressure
sensor. After turning the unit on for the first time, it takes 24 hours for the weather
forecasting data to be calculated for the first time. After 24 hours, the unit calcu-
lates the weather for the next 6 hours. To ensure a reliable weather calculation, do
not relocate the unit during operation.
Weather tendency is indicated by an up or down forecast arrow. (See table
below.)
1. The up arrow fit indicates a significant increase in atmospheric pressure.
This normally means the weather is going to improve.

will start to transmit temperature data to the main unit every 3 minutes. Upon
successful reception, the remote/outdoor temperature will be shown in the
remote temperature field on the LCD. The main unit automatically updates the
remote reading in 3-minute intervals.
Receiver Signal Indicator Icons
The following icons indicate the signal transmission status on the LCD:
Transmission Troubleshooting

“n" appears in the OUT TEMP field on the LCD. If at any time during opera-
tion a signal is not received after five consecutive intervals, blank “-»" appears
if this happens, press the RE-SYNC button. The main unit will receive signals
for 10 minutes
2. If the remote unit’s batteries are running low, a low battery icon appears in the
OUT TEMP field. Replace the batteries
3A if the display unexpectedly goes blank, press the RE-SYNC button on the main
unit to force the main unit to receive a signal. If this does not work, check the
following:
~ The remote unit is still in place.
- The batteries in both the remote unit and the main unit are still good Replace if
necessary.
- The remote transmitter is within range and the path is clear of obstacles or other
interference. (See ”Interference" section below.) Shorten the distance if necessary
Signals from other household devices such as garage-entry controls, doorbells and
home security systems may interfere with the temperature-data transmission and
may cause temporary reception failure, This is normal and does not affect the
general performance of the unit. The transmission and reception of the tempera-
ture reading will resume once the interference has stopped
