SETTING UP:
When one sensor is used
1.
First, insert the battery into the thermo-hygro sensor. (see “Install and replace
batteries in the thermo-hygro sensor“).
2.
3.
Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Weather Station
(see “Install and replace batteries in the Weather Station”). Once the batteries
are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as
12:00 and the "Oscar Outlook" icon will be displayed. If these are not displayed
after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds before
reinserting them.
After inserting the battery into the sensor, the Weather Station will start receiving
data from the sensor. The outdoor temperature/ humidity and the signal reception
icon should then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen
after 15 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset
from step 1.
4.
In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be a distance of
no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Weather
Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).
When more than one sensor is to be used
1.
User shall remove all the batteries from the Weather Station and sensors and
wait 60 seconds if setting has been done with one sensor before.
2.
Insert the batteries to the first sensor.
3.
Within 30 seconds of powering up the first sensor, insert the batteries into to the
Weather Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will
light up briefly. Following time as 12:00 and the Oscar Outlook icon will be
displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries
10
4.
5.
6.
7.
and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.
The outdoor temperature and humidity from the first sensor (channel 1) should
then be displayed on the Weather Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be
displayed. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be
removed from both units and reset from step 1.
Insert the battery into the second sensor immediately after (within 10 seconds
after) inserting battery to the Weather Station.
The outdoor temperature and humidity from the second sensor and the "channel
2" icon should then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen
after 2 minute, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset
from step 1.
Insert the batteries into the third sensor immediately after (within 10 seconds
11
8.
9.
after) inserting battery to the second sensor.
Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third sensor will be
displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third sensor is
successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from
step 1.
In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be a distance of
no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Weather
Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).
Note:
After the three sensors have been set up, user may need to check the readings
displayed on the Weather Station against those being shown on the sensor displays, in
12
order to recognize which channel each sensor is displayed.
If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45 seconds,
the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried for another 45 seconds. If
still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be
done for re-synchronization.
IMPORTANT:
Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as
described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the
batteries from all units and follow the set-up from step 1.
13
10.
11.
Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Weather
Station, the WWVB time code reception is automatically started. This takes
typically between 6-8 minutes in good conditions. (Depending on location, it may
take up to four nights to first receive the WWVB signal.)
If after 10 minutes, the WWVB time has not been received, press the SET key to
manually enter a time initially.
Note:
Daily WWVB reception is attempted for a full hour between 12:00 am to 6:00 am. If the
reception is not successful, there will no further reception attempt until the following
day. When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The
14
date is also updated with the received time. (Please refer also to notes on “WWVB
Radio controlled Time” and “Manual Time Setting”).

INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR
The Thermo-hygro Sensor uses 1 x 3.0V IEC CR2032, Lithium battery. To install and
replace the battery, please follow the steps below:
1.
Pull out the battery holder at the bottom of the sensor.
2.
Insert the battery, observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3.
Replace the battery holder on the unit.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be
reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random
security code is assigned by the sensor at start-up and this code must be
received and stored by the Weather Station in the first 3 minutes of power
17
being supplied to it
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of
these units. (Battery life – see Specifications)

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency
Division) WWVB radio station 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 weather
25
projection station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is
very limited during daylight hours. The wireless weather station will search for a signal
every night when reception is best.
The WWVB radio station receives the time data from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder,
Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every
day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created
an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a
Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more detail, visit
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.htm. To listen to the NIST time, call (303)4997111. This number will connect you to an automated time, announced at the top of the
minute in “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is also known as Greenwich Mean Time
26
(GMT). This time does not follow Daylight Saving Time changes. After the top of the
minute, a tone will sound for every second. It is possible that your wireless weather
station may not be exactly on the second due to the variance in the quartz. However,
the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the course of several days to be very
accurate; under 0.10 seconds per day.

45
< 32°°F (0°°C)
Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 4860 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to collect air pressure
data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The
weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to
the varying areas the Weather Station has been designed for use in. In areas that
experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather
Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant
most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
46
If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its
initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floor of a house),
remove the batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the
Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in airpressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude. Again, disregard weather
forecasts for the next 48-60 hours as this will allow time for operation at a constant
altitude.
THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR
Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendency indicators (the
upward and downward arrows located near Oscar Outlook). When the indicator points
upwards, the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but
47
when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather is
expected to become worse.
Therefore, the user may see how the weather has changed and is expected to change.
For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloudy icons, the last
noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sunny icon only).
Therefore, the next change in the weather will be the cloudy icons since the indicator is
pointing downwards.
Note:
Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will
remain permanently visualized on the LCD.

915 MHz RECEPTION
The Weather Station should receive the temperature data within 15 minutes after setup. If the temperature data is not received 15 minutes after setting up (not successfully
continuously, the outdoor display shows “- - -” ), please check the following points:
1.
The distance of the weather station or sensor should be at least 1.5 to 2 meters
away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2.
Avoid positioning the Weather Station onto or in the immediate proximity of
metal window frames.
59
3.
4.
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on
the same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission
and reception.
Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency
can also cause interference.
Note:
When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of
either the sensor or Weather Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts
and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting
up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The transmission range is about 330 feet (100 m) from the sensor to the Weather
Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and
60
interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors,
all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).
MOUNTING
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:
The Weather Station has been designed to be hung onto a wall or free standing.
To wall mount
Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine.
Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature and humidity values
can be received from the desired locations.
61
