USER MANUAL

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of this delicate Wireless

Weather Station. The utmost care has gone into the

design and manufacture of your clock. Please read

these instructions carefully and keep the manual well

for future reference.

The multifunctional weather station is equipped with

many functions providing thorough weather information

to you. The receiver unit has a clear, easy-to-read

display that shows the indoor temperature, moon phase,

time, month, date as well as the temperature measured

and transmitted from the remote sensors. It is able to

receive and display readings from up to 3 remote

sensors.

The 433 MHz technology means no wire installation is

required and you can place the sensors anywhere you

like.

With radio controlled function, the current time and

date are automatically synchronized with the time signal

transmitted from Germany(DCF).

3. Press it again to turn off both of them until the

icons disappear.

Note:

1. To turn on temperature pre-alarm, ALARM must

earlier than the alarm only when the outdoor

temperature is below -3°C (26°F).

3. If no key is pressed during the alarm period, the

clock will enter the snooze mode automatically.

Besides, you can also press “SNOOZE” key

once to stop the current alarm and activate the

snooze function.

interfered, “---” will appear on the LCD.

2. Relocate the clock or transmitter in other

positions and make sure the transmission is

within the effective range of 30 meters approx.

clock thoroughly. Try out where your

multifunctional alarm clock receives the signals

best.

CHECKING AND DELETING MAX./MIN.

TEMPERATURE RECORDS

1. Press “MAX/MIN” key once to check the

maximum temperature records. Press it twice to

check the minimum records. Press it again to

exit.

2. Press and hold “MAX/MIN” key for 3 seconds to

delete the max. and min. temperature records.

WEATHER FORECAST INDICATOR

The built-in barometer can notice atmosphere pressure

changes. Based on the data collected, it can predict

the weather conditions in the forthcoming 12-24 hours.

Note:

1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based

weather forecast is about 70% to 75%.

2. The weather forecast is meant for next 12 to 24

hours. It may not necessarily reflect the current

situation.

3. The “Rainy” and “Stormy” icons are different

only in the dropping frequency of the rain. The

rain dropping frequency in “Stormy” icon is faster

than that in “Rainy” icon.

4. The “Snowy” weather forecast is not based on

the atmosphere pressure but on the outdoor

temperature. When the outdoor temperature is

below -3°C (26°F), the “Snowy” icon will be

displayed on the LCD.

ABOUT THE MOON PHASE

The unit has 8 different moon phases. It will change

according to the lunar calendar.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the LCD becomes dim, it means that you should

replace batteries of the clock immediately.

If the low battery indicator “ ” appears in the

WEATHER FORECAST AND TEMPERATURE window

of the clock (“ ”) or on the LCD of transmitter, you

should replace batteries of transmitter at once.

Note:

Attention! Please dispose of used unit or batteries in

an ecologically safe manner.

USING THE TABLE STAND OR

WALL-MOUNTING STAND

The receiver and transmitter have both the desktop

and wall-mounting structures.

For the receiver, place the screw on the desired wall

and hang the receiver by the recessed hole in the

back of it or just simply place it on the desktop by its

table stand.

For the transmitter, fix the separate wall-mounting

stand outside in the area protected from direct rain by

the screw. Once the stand is mounted, place the

transmitter into the stand on the wall. Besides, you

can also place it on the desktop by its table stand.
