QUICK SETUP

Step 1: Power up your weather station

Insert the AC/DC adaptor to any 120V AC household outlet. Then insert the DC jack to the back case of your

unit.

Take out the stand at the back case and insert it horizontally to the back case, then rotate it by 90 degree to

secure it to the back case.

Step 2: install batteries to your outdoor transmitter

Keep your weather station and wireless outdoor transmitter next to each other. Slide open the battery cover at

the back of your wireless outdoor transmitter, then insert 2 x AAA alkaline batteries to the battery compartment.

Make sure the Channel selector is at 1 position. Replace the battery cover.

Remark : Make sure (Channel 1) is displayed under the outdoor temperature and humidity. You could

press  / CHANNEL to select Channel 1.

Your weather station will receive data signal from the outdoor transmitter in few seconds. Then place your

outdoor transmitter in a dry and shaded area.

P. 3

Installing backup batteries to your weather station

Your weather station requires 3 “AAA” alkaline batteries to provide backup power to it in the event of a

temporary power interruption.

1. Place your unit face down on a flat surface.

2. Slide and remove the battery cover at the bottom of your unit.

3. Insert 3 “AAA” alkaline batteries into the battery compartment by observing the “+” and “-“ polarity as

indicated.

4. Replace the battery cover.

settings of your unit. Press once to turn on the backlight for 5 seconds.

Remarks:

Keep in mind that your outdoor transmitter has a 180-ft open air transmission with no obstructions.

Actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof,

walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.

Insert the holder to the bottom of the outdoor transmitter for desktop or insert it to the back of the

transmitter for wall mount purpose.

WEATHER FORECAST AND PRESSURE TREND INDICATOR

Your weather station has a built-in barometric sensor which measures the change of the air pressure over time.

Your weather station takes around 12 hours to gather and average air-pressure readings to provide a weather

forecast for next 12 hours.

WEATHER ICONS

There are five possible types of weather icons that will be displayed:

SUNNY

SUNNY AND CLOUDY

(PARTLY SUNNY)

CLOUDY

P. 6

RAINY

STORMY

FROST ALERT

Frost Alert Icon appears when outdoor

temperature is below +3°C

AIR PRESSURE TENDENCY INDICAOTRS

When the arrow appears, the air pressure is increasing, the weather is expected to improve.

When the arrow appears, the air pressure is decreasing, the weather is expected to become worse.

When the arrow appears, the air pressure change is stable.

Remarks: Moving your weather station from one floor of a building to another floor will affect the accuracy

of your weather station, which should operate at the same altitude all the time. If you move it to a new

location, it will take 12 hours to get stable and accurate again.

Our weather station provides next 12-hour weather forecast. It may not match with the current weather

condition outside.

TO DISPLAY AIR PRESSURE READOUT

Press and hold until the calendar display shows the air pressure readout in inHg. Press and hold

again to revert back to calendar display.

TO READ MAXIMUM-MINUMUM IN-OUT TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITIES

Simply press the to view the maximum indoor-outdoor temperatures and humidities records with

“MAX” icons appearing on the display. Press again to view the minimum indoor-outdoor temperatures and

humidities and the air pressure with “MIN” icons appearing on the display.

When the maximums or minimums are displayed, press and hold the to reset both records and it will

start to record the maximums and minimums again.

IF YOU LOSE THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY

When the outdoor temperature and humidity digits show '---", the wireless transmission is either interrupted or

lost. Press and hold the  / CHANNEL button to start searching for the signal from the outdoor transmitter with

the flashing.

If you continue to lose the outdoor temperature and humidity display, which could happen in extreme cold

weather, try placing the transmitter in a different location until you have smooth transmission of temperature /

humidity data.

HOW TO SYNCHRONIZE YOUR WEATHER STATION WITH ANOTHER OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER

1. Press  / CHANNEL at the back of your weather station, icon appears under your outdoor temperature

and humidity.

2. Press and hold  / CHANNEL until the icon blinks, your weather station is searching for the signal

of another outdoor transmitter at Channel 2.

icon within few seconds. If the data still does not appear, press RESET at the front of your

second transmitter once.

5. To synchronize your weather station with a third outdoor sensor, repeat the same step by choosing

on your weather station and select 3 on your third transmitter.

AUTO SCROLLING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY OF DIFFERENT

TRANSMITTER

Press  / CHANNEL one at a time until the icon flashes. Then the outdoor temperature and humidity of

different outdoor transmitter will be displayed for few seconds alternately with , , flashing.

To stop the auto scrolling, press  / CHANNEL once to go back to constant display of the temperature

and humidity of the transmitter, the icon remains static on the display.

LOW BATTERY INDICATION OF YOUR OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER

The icon will appear to indicate the battery level of your outdoor transmitter is getting low. You may

need to replace the batteries of your outdoor transmitter with new ones.

Extreme cold weather (e.g. below 14 °F) will also cause low battery voltage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In case your weather station clock shows irrelevant information or digits, it maybe affected by

electrostatic discharge or interferences from other devices. Use a sharp object to press RESET. Your

unit will be reset to default settings and you need to set the time, calendar and alarm time again.
