K. BATTERY COMPARTMENT
• Requires two (2) CR2032 lithium cell batteries
L. TABLE STAND
• When placing the main unit on the table or other horizontal surface, unfold and adjust the
table stand for the desired viewing angle.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
• Remove the battery door located at the back of the main unit.
• Insert two (2) CR2032 lithium cell batteries and replace the battery compartment door.
PLACEMENT
• Make sure that the main unit is locating within the operating range of all remote sensors.
• Ideally the main unit should be placed within line of sight of remote sensors. Avoid placing
the main unit where surfaces emitting and radiating heat (e.g. heating ducts or air conditioners)
and areas with interference from wireless devices (e.g. cordless phones, radio headsets, baby
monitoring devices and other electronics).
OPERATION
Once the main unit is powered, the display will show all available LCD segments for a moment.
IMPORTANT: All of the display functions will be locked, allowing setting of your local
altitude and pressure parameters by pressing the UP (? ) or DOWN (? ) and SET buttons. The
locked display will show the pressure icon and abbreviation “inHg” flashing in the
Weather Forecast/ Pressure Window, default time in Clock Window and channel 1’s
temperature and humidity readings in Temperature/ Humidity Window.
If pressure and altitude are not configured during this time, the unit will self-calibrate in a few
minutes and show the default settings for the pressure and altitude (sea level) and all remote
weather sensors readings.
