Page 5 of 25 Version 1.1 - 11/13/2008 What You Need to Get Started: Internet connection – dial-up, cable, DSL or other Internet service will work. Valid e-mail address – required to make sure you can retrieve your password and receive other information about your user profile. When Optional TX-50U Wireless Outdoor Temperature Sensor is used: 2 “AA” Alkaline batteries for the Wireless Outdoor Sensor NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not recommended in the Wireless Outdoor Sensor due to the wide variation in performance between brands and types. Please use only fresh Alkaline batteries. 3 “AA” Alkaline or Rechargeable batteries for the Wireless Display Visit www.weatherdirect.com and click “Register” to Start After you have registered and selected a forecast location and Time Zone for your Wireless Display, the forecast data will show up on the display within 60 seconds. A reasonably current Windows, Macintosh, or Linux PC with internet browser installed is required for initial set up and configuration changes and weather updates. The browser must be configured with Java Script enabled. Most browsers allow JavaScript as a standard feature. If you have turned off support for JavaScript in your browser, please allow JavaScript to run again to register or configure your Device. Page 6 of 25 Version 1.1 - 11/13/2008 IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Please DO NOT insert batteries into the Wireless Display or the Outdoor Sensor until instructed to do so. Set Up your WD-3106UR-B Open www.weatherdirect.com in a web browser and click “REGISTER” at the top of the page. Our Online Registration Wizard will guide you through the complete registration process. Hardware Installation NOTE: Hardware installation is only intended to be performed after you have registered your Wireless USB Transceiver and Wireless Display and have confirmed successful reception of weather data. Optional TX-50U Wireless Outdoor Sensor Installation Options OPTIONAL: TX-50U Wireless Outdoor Temperature Sensor – Measures the outdoor temperature where you are and sends temperature data to your Wireless Display with a wireless range of up to 330 feet (open air). See www.weatherdirect.com for details on how to add this sensor to your system. NOTE: Move the Wireless Outdoor Sensor into its intended location and wait for 10 minutes to make sure the outdoor temperature is still being received by the Wireless Display. Press the “+” Key on your Wireless Display to show the outdoor temperature. If the display shows - -,-F for the outdoor temperature, the signal cannot reach the Wireless Display. Find a closer location to mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor and wait 10 minutes to check the Wireless Display again for reception. DO NOT mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor in a permanent fashion until you are sure the signal is being received by the Wireless Display. To Surface Mount the Outdoor Sensor: We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to a surface with the supplied screws. The Sensor can be positioned on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom by gently pushing the Page 7 of 25 Version 1.1 - 11/13/2008 bottom of the Sensor onto the holding pegs of the stand until they click into place in the grooves on the Sensor. To Wall Mount the Outdoor Sensor: The Outdoor Sensor is weather resistant, but not water proof. To ensure maximum Sensor life, mount it in a covered place out of the elements like under the eaves. Placement on the North side of your home will provide the most accurate readings. Mount it about 18” down from the eaves for optimum performance. This ensures that the weather data collected by the Outdoor Sensor will not be affected by the temperature of the air leaving the attic. We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to the wall with the supplied screws. Gently snap the Sensor onto the holding pegs on the mounting plate after the plate is screwed to the wall. When the holding pegs are securely locked into the slots on the Sensor, you will hear a “Click”. Wireless USB Transceiver Installation The Wireless USB Transceiver sends weather forecasts to your Wireless Display over a maximum 100 ft. range. Walls and other obstructions between the Wireless USB Transceiver and Wireless Display will affect the range. The Wireless Signal Icon will indicate the signal strength to let you know if your Wireless USB Transceiver and Wireless Display are within range.

The Wireless Display will ONLY display the time from the “Time Zone for Wireless Display Clock” set on the web site, NOT the time at the forecast locations. There is only one Time Page 9 of 25 Version 1.1 - 11/13/2008 Zone available per Wireless Display. The Daylight Saving Time (DST) checkbox on your Wireless Display settings at www.weatherdirect.com is selected by default because most locations observe DST. If you are in a location that does not observe DST, please make sure to uncheck this box. Optional TX-50U Wireless Outdoor Sensor The Optional Wireless Outdoor Sensor sends temperature data to your Wireless Display, accurate to within a tenth of one degree. The Optional Outdoor Temperature Sensor uses 2 x “AA”, Alkaline batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1.
