TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR
MOUNTED SEPARATELY
1. Insert 4 type A screws into the holes of the sensor
connector. Screw rmly into place, i.e., fence.
RAIN GAUGE
The base station and rain gauge should be positioned
within an effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet)
in an open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1
meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away from
trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally
for an accurate reading.
To ensure a level plane:
Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the
funnel to check the horizontal level.

Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain
gauge is level.

EN
If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal.
If necessary, adjust the level using the screw.
NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to
allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.
CLOCK RECEPTION
This product is designed to synchronize its calendar
clock automatically once it is brought within range of a
radio signal:

NOTE For best reception, the base station should be
placed on a at, non-metallic surface near a window
in an upper oor of your home. The antenna should
be placed away from electrical appliances and not be
moved around when searching for a signal.
CLOCK / CALENDAR
To set the clock manually, disable the clock signal

To manually set the clock:
(You only need to set the clock and calendar if you have
disabled the clock radio reception.)
1. Press SELECT to navigate to the Clock Area. will
show next to the Area.
2. Press and hold MODE to change the clock setting.
The setting will blink.
3. Press UP / DOWN to increase / decrease the setting
value.
4. Press MODE to conrm.
5. Repeat steps 3 to 4 to set the time zone offset hour
(+ / -23 hours), 12 / 24 hour format, hour, minute,
year, date / month format, month, date and weekday
language.
Time zone offset sets the clock +/- 23 hours from the
received clock signal time. If you have deactivated the
clock signal reception, do not set a value for time zone.
NOTE If you enter +1 in the time zone setting, this will
give you your regional time plus 1 hour.
If you are in the US (WMR180A only) set the clock to:
PA for Pacic time MO for Mountain time
CE for Central time EA for Eastern time
NOTE The weekday is available in English, German,
French, Italian, Spanish or Russian.
To change the clock display:
1. Press SELECT to navigate to the Clock Area. will

MOON PHASE
The Calendar must be set for this feature to work (see
Clock/ Calendar section).
In the Northern hemisphere, the moon waxes (amount of
moon we see that grows after the New moon) from the
right. So, the sunlit part of the moon moves from right
to left in the Northern hemisphere while in the Southern
hemisphere, it moves from left to right. The direction
depends on the latitude of the person observing it.
The moon phase on this unit is suited only for the
Northern hemisphere. For users living in the Southern
hemisphere, the moon phase diagram will appear
incorrect (inverted). The moon phase diagram has to be
rotated 180° to correspond with the moon seen from their
perspective.
Below are two tables which diagrammatically illustrate
how the moon will appear on the main unit and its
equivalent if seen in the night sky from the Southern
hemisphere.

2. Press MAX / MIN repeatedly until minimum wind chill
reading or maximum wind speed reading is displayed.
3. Press and hold MAX / MIN to clear the readings.
NOTE The wind chill factor is based on the combined
effects of temperature and wind speed. Displayed wind
chill is calculated solely from Channel 1 sensor.
UVI / BAROMETER / RAINFALL
The weather station works with one UV sensor and
one rain gauge. The station is capable of storing and
displaying the hourly history data for the last 10 hours
of UV index, and 24 hours of rainfall and barometric
pressure readings.
UVI BAROMETER RAINFALL
The bar chart display shows the current and historical
data for the UV index, barometric pressure and rainfall
readings.
NOTE The number shown in the horizontal axis (Hr)
indicates how long ago each measurement was taken (e.g.
3 hours ago, 6 hours ago, etc.). The bar represents the
measurement taken for that specic 1 hour period. E.g., if it
is 10:30 pm now, the bar plotted directly above -1 shows the
reading recorded from 9 to 10 pm and -6 shows the reading
recorded earlier in the evening, between 4pm-5pm.
To view the UV / Barometer / Rainfall readings:
1. Press SELECT to navigate to the UV / Barometer /
Rainfall Area. will show next to the Area.
2. Press MODE to toggle between UVI / Barometer /
Rainfall readings. The corresponding icon will appear:
UVI BAROMETER RAINFALL
To select the measurement unit for the barometer or
rainfall readings:
In the UV / Barometer / Rainfall Area, press UNIT to
switch between:
• Barometer: Millimeters of mercury (mmHg), inches of
mercury (inHg), millibars per hectopascal (mb).
• Rainfall: Millimeters (mm), inches (in), recorded for
that hour.
NOTE As the purpose of the bar graph is only to provide
a quick comparison between the records of the past 24
hours, the vertical axis cannot convert from inches to
mm. Therefore, changing the measurement unit will
have no effect on the bar graph display.
UV INDEX
The UV index levels are as follows:
UV INDEX DANGER LEVEL ICON
0-2 Low
3-5 Moderate
6-7 High
8-10 Very high
