USER'S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Hammacher Schlemmer
Projection Alarm Clock and Weather Monitor. The basic package comes
with a main unit (the weather forecast station), two remote wireless
weather sensing units (operating at 433 MHz), and an AC adapter (AC
120V, 60Hz-DC5.0V, 100mA).
PRECAUTIONS
This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if
handled carefully. Here are a few precautions:

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
For best operation,
1. Insert batteries into remote sensors before inserting batteries in the
main unit.
2. Position the remote units and main unit within effective transmission
range, typically up to 100 feet. Note that the effective range depends
upon many factors, including structural surroundings. Though the
remote units are weatherproof, they should be placed away from direct
sunlight, rain, and snow.
BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNITS
1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.
2. Select the desired channel.
3. Install 2 alkaline “AA” batteries.
4. Replace battery compartment door and secure screws.
BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT
1. Open the battery compartment door.
2. Install 2 alkaline “AA”.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
A low-battery indicator [ ] will appear on the indoor or outdoor
temperature reading to show when the corresponding sensor’s batteries
need replaced.
GETTING STARTED
After batteries are installed, remote sensors will transmit temperature
readings at 45 second intervals. The main unit may take up to two minutes
to receive the initial readings; upon successful reception, outdoor
temperatures will be displayed. The main unit will automatically update
readings at about 45-second intervals.
If no signals are received by the main unit after two minutes, “-- ” will be
displayed. Hold [-] for 2 seconds to begin another signal search.
If no signals are received, try moving the base unit closer to the remote
sensor, face the remote sensor towards the base unit, and minimize
obstructions such as doors and walls between the sensor and base unit.

Mondays through Fridays.
* Single Day Alarm
The alarm will sound and the alarm icon will flash at the set time, but
will not activate on subsequent days.
* Pre-Alarm

alarm display mode. Press MODE to toggle between alarm modes and
to return to the regular display.
HOW TO SET THE ALARM
Note: Unit must contain batteries or alarm will not sound!
To set an alarm,
1. Press [ALARM] once to display alarm time. If the alarm is off, the time
will be displayed as “OFF”.
2. Press and hold [ALARM] for two seconds. The hour digit will blink.
3. Enter the hour using [+] or [-].
4. Press [ALARM] again. The minute digits will blink.
5. Enter the minutes using [+] or [-].
6. Press [ALARM] again to exit.
7. Repeat the same procedure to set single alarm.
SNOOZE FEATURE
When the alarm sounds, press the snooze key to temporarily silence the
alarm. After 5 minutes, the alarm sound will resume. If the alarm sounds
for 4 minutes, it will automatically stop.
HOW TO STOP AN ALARM
Press [ALARM] on the unit to deactivate an alarm. The time will be
displayed as “OFF”.
HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the signal status of the main unit.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and
transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States
at 60 KHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the
internal antenna in the Hammacher Schlemmer Projection Alarm Clock
and Weather Monitor. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s
ionosphere, reception can be limited during daylight hours. The radio
control clock will search for an alternate station that derives its signal
from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon [ ] on the main unit’s display will flash to
indicate that the clock is receiving a radio signal from the WWVB radio
station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time does not
automatically set, please read the following:
* During nighttime hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less
severe and reception may be improved. A single daily reception is
sufficient to keep the clock accurate to within 1 second.
* Make sure the main unit is positioned a minimum distance of 8 feet from
any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.
* Within concrete rooms such as basements or office buildings, the
received signal may be weakened. Try positioning the unit near a
window.

NOTE:
1. The accuracy of a pressure-based forecasting is approximately 70%.
2. Display shows forecasted conditions, not current conditions.
3. The “Sunny” icon indicates clear weather, even when displayed during
the nighttime.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURE
The maximum and minimum record of the indoor and outdoor
temperature will be automatically stored in the memory. It will display the
minimum, maximum and the current reading upon each press of both
“channel” & “-” buttons, the unit will revert back to the current
temperature display after 15 seconds. To clear the memory, press
“channel” & “-” buttons again, the maximum and minimum readings will
be erased.
DISCONNECTED SIGNALS
If the display for a remote sensor goes blank unexpectedly, press [-] for 2
seconds to begin a signal search. If a signal still isn’t received, please
check the following:
1. The remote units are positioned in its proper location.
2. The distance between main and remote units are no more than 100 feet,
and the path between units is clear of obstacles of possible interference.
Shorten the distance between units if necessary.
3. Charged batteries are installed in both the remote unit and main unit.
(Note: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in outdoor
remote sensors may have reduced voltage supply and a shorter effective
range.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as doorbells, home security
systems, and entry controls, may interfere with those of this product and
may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal and will not affect
the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of
temperature readings will resume once the interference subsides.
HOW TO SET THE RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK
1. After the main unit receives temperature readings from the remote
unit(s), the WWVB time signal receiver will automatically search for
the time signal. This will take 5-8 minutes in typical conditions.
2. If the radio signal is received, the date and time will be set
automatically, and the [ ] icon will appear.
3. If the time signal has not been received after 8 minutes, use the
“MODE” button to set the time manually. The clock will continue to
automatically search for the WWVB time signal for every hour between
1:00 am and 4:30 am each day. When the signal has been successfully
obtained, the time and date will be updated automatically.
