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 / humidity. In a few minutes, the remote temperature / humidity / rainfall are shown in the outside temperature I humidity I rainfall field on the main unit. If at least 10 minutes pass and the outside temperature / humidity / rainfall field displays “- instead of the remote unit's temperature / humidity / rainfall, see the "Transmission Troubleshooting" section. Be sure the main unit and the remote transmitter units are in sync and the outdoor temperature / humidity / rainfall are displayed on the main unit. . After a few minutes, place the remote transmitter unit in the desired outdoor location within 100 feet maximum of the main unit. Place the main unit as close as possible 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 transmitter unit inside the bracket. The remote/outdoor temperature / humidity / rainfall will be shown on the main unit. Obstacles, walls. etc. reduce the range significantly. The transmitter 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 / humidity / rainfall reading and weather forecast. Note: For more details on synchronization, please refer to "Wireless Remote Temperature Transmission." Weather Forecast The local weather forecast and weather tendency are predicted using the rate of change in atmospheric pressure determined by a precisely calibrated 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 calculates 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 icon(ve.) indicates a significant increase in atmospheric pressure. This normally means the weather is going to improve. 2. The down arrow icon(v) indicates a significant decrease in atmospheric pressure. This means the weather is going to get worse. 3. The forecast icon( m) - without an arrow indicates a steadyfinsignificant change of atmospheric pressure. This means the weather will remain unchanged. TENDENCY - UP TENDENCY - DOWN TENDENCY - STEADY Tendency - Up Tendency - Down Tendency - Steady P.5 Weather Conditions The current weather condition is displayed using one of five animated icons: Sunny, Partly cloudy, cloudy, Rainy or Stormy. (See table below.) The Stormy icon only appears when a sudden and serious drop in atmospheric pressure is detected. SUNNY PARTLY CLOUDY CLOUDY RAINY STORMY “as: Barometric Graph 1. The barometric graph shows the previous day's pressure changes. The Time Axis shows the changes from the previous day. E.g. 4 = 4:00 am, 8 = 8:00 am, 12 = 12:00 pm, 16 = 4:00 o.m., 20 = 8:00 pm, and 24 =12:00 am. 2. The unit stores the pressure mean of the previous day from 12:00 am. to 11:59 pm. 3.
