GETTING STARTED
Once batteries are in place for the remote unit, they will start transmitting temperature
readings at around 45 seconds intervals The main unit will also start searching for
signals for about two minutes once batteries are installed. Upon successful reception, the
outdoors temperatures will be displayed The main unit will automatically update its
readings at about 45-second intervals.
If no signals are received, blanks “-- ” will be displayed. Hold [—.—] for 2 seconds to
enforce another search for about 2 minutes. This is useful in synchronizing the
transmission and reception of the remote and main units. Repeat this step whenever you
find discrepancies between the reading shown on the main unit and that on the remote
units
HOW TO CHECK REMOTE AND
INDOOR TEMPERATURES
The wave display on the outdoors temperature indicates the reception of the remote unit
is in good orders If no readings are received from the remote unit for more than two
minutes, blanks “-- ” will be displayed until further readings are successfully searched,
Check the remote unit is sound and secure. You can wait for a little while or Hold [—] for
2 seconds to enforce an immediate search If the temperature goes above or below than
the temperature measuring range of the main unit or the remote unit (stated in
- specification), the display will show “HH ” or “LL” respectively.

Temperature readings are
securely registered. @
, No signals.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME _ _ ‘
The NIST Radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and transmits the
exact time signal continuously throughout the Unitec States at 60 KHZ. The signal can be
received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Radio Controlled
Clock. However, sue to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception is very limited
during the day time. The radio control clock will Search for a signal station derives its
signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the clock display will flash to indicate that the clock is
receiving a radio signal from the WWVB Radio Station. When the time signal from the
WWVB tower icon turns on and the time of the selected time zone will be displayed. If
only part of the WWVB tower icon turns on or the WWVB tower does not appear at all
and the time is not set, please note of the following:
174/0‘
* We recommend keeping the minimum distance of 8 feet from any interference source
such as a TV, computer monitors, microwave ovens, etc.
* Within concrete rooms (basements, superstructure, office buildings), the received signal
will be weakened In extreme case, theunit should be placed close to a window and/or
point it’s front or back towards the Fort Collins, Colorado transmitter
* During the night time, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and
reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is sufficient to keep the
accuracy reading within 1 second.
WEATHER FORECAST
The unit is capable of detecting atmospheric pressure changes Based on collected data, it
can predict the weather for the orthcoming 12 to 24 hours,

NOTE:
1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather forecast is about 70%.
2. The weather forecasts it may not necessarily reflect the current situation.
3. The “Sunny” idon, as applies to nighttime, implies clear weather.

TRANSM'ISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home security systems and
entry controls, may interfere with those of this product and cause temporarily reception
failure This is normal and‘does not affect the genera] performance of the product. The
transmission and reception of temperature readings will resume once the interference
recedes.
HOW TO SET THE RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK
1. After the main unit finishes searching for the temperature signal from the remote unit(s)
within 2 minutes, the WWVB Radio Controlled time signal receiver will start to
automatically search for the time signal. This typically takes 5»8 minutes in good
conditions. If after 8 minutes the WWVB Radio Controlled time signal has not beeh
received, press and hold “+” button for 3 seconds, it will be enforced to receive the
WWVB time signal. If the radio signal is still not received, use the “MODE” button to
set the WWVB time signal manually. The clock will then automatically attempt to
receive the WWVB time signals for every hour from 1:00 am to 4:00 am each day.
When this is successful, the received time will update the manually set time and date.
2. If the radio signal is received, the date & time will be set automatically with radio
control signal icon [Q turns on.
3. If the clock fails to receive the time signal, it will be show as [ A ] icon. Then user can
set the time manually.
4. To deactivate the radio controlled time signal, hold both “+” & “—" buttons for 3
seconds. Then user can set the time manually.
