This is normal and does not affect the generalperformance of this product. Stable reception will resume once theinterference ends.The remote transmitter should be placed in a dry shaded area.NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm the remote transmitter butdirect rain must be avoided.Mount the remote transmitter upright avoiding metallic objectsand frames, such as window sills. Verify that there are no obstacleslike a transmission tower or steep hill that can cause interferenceand blockage between the remote transmitter and receiver.Place the receiver unit at least 2 metres away from any electricaldevices, such as your television set, computer, cordless phone, orany radio controlled equipment.Replace unit(s) with fresh batteries when the Low Battery Indicatorlights up. Refer to the LOW BATTERY INDICATION section.You may need to reposition the remote transmitter to a differentlocation and/or closer to the receiver for the best transmission.SPECIFICATIONSWS222 - WEATHER STATION RECEIVER- Battery Type: 2 X 1.5V AA batteries- Operating Temperature:- Temperature Range:--5°C to 50°C-20°C to 55°C1°C 0°C to 40°C1°C- Measurement Accuracy: Max. +/- within measuring range ofResolution: 0.WT440 - WEATHER STATION TRANSMITTER-Battery Type: 2 X 1.5V AA batteries- -20°C to 60°CTemperature Range: -30°C to 70°C0.1°C -10°C 1°C -10°C1°C 0°C to 40°COperating Temperature:-- Temperature Resolution: for above / for below- Measurement Accuracy: Max. +/- within measuring range of- Transmission Frequency: 433.92 MHz- Transmission Range: up to 40 metres in open areaTHIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS:1.

The receiver will not detect or receivethe temperature data from the remote transmitter,even after the Manual Learn Function has beenexecuted.The temperature data on the remote transmitterdoes not match the data displayed on thereceiver.The temperature data on the remote transmitterdoes not match the data displayed on thereceiver.This may also be the result of a temporary loss of reception dueto interfering sources. Normal reception should resume oncethe interference ends. Refer to the WIRELESS TRANSMISSIONsection.Re-synchronize the remote transmitter and receiver by pressingand holding on the receiver for 3 seconds until a beep isheard. The temperature data from the remote transmitter willdisplay on the receiver within 3 minutes. Refer to the WIRELESSTRANSMISSION (Manual Learn Function) section.CHNEnsure the remote transmitter is away from any possible source ofinterference and electrical disturbances. You may try to repositionthe remote transmitter in a different location and/or closer to thereceiver. The remote transmitter does have a maximum range of40 metres, but any walls or windows the signal has to pass throughwill reduce the distance. Due to the nature of the batteries,extreme cold temperatures may also affect the transmission range.Refer to the WIRELESS TRANSMISSION section and repeat theManual Learn Function with the remote transmitter in a newlocation.This may occur when you move the remote transmitter from oneenvironment to another. For example, when you bring thetransmitter from inside the warm house out to the cold exterior. Insuch a case, there will be a big change in temperature. Thetransmitter will record this change in temperature much quickerthan it is able to transmit the data to the receiver (which is doneonce every minute). Therefore, you will temporarily get adifference in reading between the remote transmitter and receiver.The solution is to allow the remote transmitter some time to sit inits new location to reach equilibrium. This may take severalminutes. Once the data is stable, the data displayed on theremote transmitter should match that displayed on the receiver.PROBLEM SOLUTIONCUSTOMER SUPPORT HOTLINE: 1-888-468-68762A1234515234Press to set the minute.MINPress to set the minute.MIN55Alarm Setting Clock Display6Local (Indoor) Temperature Remote (Outdoor) TemperatureRemote (Outdoor) TemperatureEXAMPLE:EXAMPLE:1CBRemoteChannelNumberRemoteChannelNumberPAGE 5 PAGE 6 PAGE 7 PAGE 8PAGE 13 PAGE 14 PAGE 15
