To complete the set up of your Wireless Weather Station after the 15 minutes have passed
please follow the steps that follow in the Detailed Set-Up Guide.
DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE
I.
BATTERY INSTALLATION (When one temperature sensor is being used)
1. First, insert the batteries to the temperature sensor (see “A. Remote Temperature
Sensor” below).
2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the sensor, insert the batteries to the Weather
Station (see “B. Wireless Weather Station” below). Once the batteries are in place, all
segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature and
humidity, and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60
seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting
them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the Weather Station will start receiving data signal
from the sensor. The outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the Weather
Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed
from both units and reset from step 1 and the signal reception icon is no longer shown.
A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Remove the mounting bracket. The bracket snaps on
and off easily.
2. Remove the battery cover, by sliding the cover down.
3. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA batteries. The
batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make
sure they do not spring free).
4. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure
battery cover is on securely.
B. WIRELESS WEATHER STATION
1. Remove the battery cover. To do this, insert a solid object in the space provided
at the lower-central position of the battery cover, then push up and pull out on the
battery cover.
2. Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA batteries.
3. Replace the battery cover.

* When the signal is successfully received by the Weather Station, the icon will be
switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the user can
easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the
other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is being done now.

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 another 45 seconds. If still not
successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-
synchronization.
PROGRAM MODE
Programming Note: If 30 seconds is allowed to pass, or the CH button is pressed
during the programming mode, the unit will confirm/set the last information entered—
the display will stop flashing and return to normal time-date readings. If you don’t leave
the program mode during the programming of sections III through XII, you can
advance to step 4 of the next program setting. If you do leave the program setting (or
want to program a specific setting) follow each instructional step to program that
setting.
