A/B/C Wireless Selection
To allow for more than one weather station and wireless sensor
network to be used in close proximity, the display unit and the
wireless sensor have a small switch labeled “A B C” within the
battery compartments. This switch selects one of 3 wireless modes
to use, and both switches MUST be set in matching positions (either
A, B, or C) for wireless communication to take place successfully.
Installing Batteries - Wireless Sensor
Remove the battery compartment
cover.
Install 2 fresh “AA” batteries as shown
here.
Replace the battery compartment
cover.
FOR THE SENSOR TO OPERATE
BATTERIES MUST BE INSTALLED
SETUP
Battery Choice & Temperature Range
Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC ) can cause
alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor
wireless sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium
batteries in these low temperature conditions to ensure continued
operation for wireless sensors placed outdoors. NOTE: Rechargeable
batteries are not recommended due to higher operating voltages.
Installing Batteries - Display Unit
Remove the battery
compartment cover.
Install 3 fresh “AA” batteries
into the battery compartment.

About the Intelli-Time® Clock
This weather station is equipped with Intelli-Time® technology. Intelli-Time clock
adjusts itself for Daylight Saving Time (DST). All you need to do is select your
Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time preferences.
Display Unit : Basic Setup
Press and hold the “ ” (SET) button for 3 seconds to enter in to SET
MODE. Once in set mode, the preference you are currently setting will blink
on the display.
Setup Indicators
will be located
in this area
To adjust the currently selected (flashing) preference item, press the “ ”
or “ ” buttons. (press and HOLD to fast adjust).
To save your adjustments, press the “ ” button again to move on to
adjusting the next preference. The preference set order is as follows:

TEMPERATURE SCALE (ºF or ºC)
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SCALE (inHg or hPa)
You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are depressed for 30
seconds. You may enter basic setup mode again at any time by pressing the
“ ” button.
Basic Setup is Now Complete
The sensor will soon send a signal to the display unit and the two units will be
synchronized. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to be complete.
Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the sensor
and the display unit. The sensor MUST be placed less than 330 feet (100
meters) away from the display unit.
This weather station uses radio frequency for communication, which is
susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic
items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from
appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects that may interfere with
the wireless communication ( large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. ).
(330 feet maximum)
(100 meters)
Placement of Display Unit
Place the display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help
ensure an accurate indoor temperature and humidity measurement,
be sure to place the display unit out of direct sunlight, and away
from any heat sources or vents in your home. There are 2 placement
options for the display unit. You may hang the main unit on a wall
using the integrated hang hole. Alternatively, you may place the
main unit on a table top or other flat surface using the included table
top display stand.
Placement of Sensor
The outdoor sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe
outdoor temperatures and humidity. The sensor must be placed less
than 330 feet (100 m) from the display unit. The sensor is water
resistant and is designed for general outdoor use. However, to
extend the life of the product, place the sensor in an area protected
from direct weather elements.
To ensure an accurate outdoor temperature measurement, be sure
the sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat
sources.
There are 2 placement options for the sensor. You may hang it using
one of the two integrated hang holes, or use string (not included) to
hang it from a suitable location like a well covered tree branch.

USE USE
Daily High & Low
The daily high and low records are displayed for the outdoor temperature
and humidity. These records are automatically cleared daily at midnight.
14-Day Learning Mode
This weather station has a patented 14-day “Learning Mode” calibration
process. During this Learning Mode, the weather station will make altitude
calculations that may affect the accuracy of the forecast. Once the Learning
Mode process is complete, the Learning Mode icon will disappear from the
display unit and the weather forecast is ready for superior operation.
Atmospheric Pressure: History & Current
This weather station has a pressure
graph that tracks and displays the
barometric pressure 12-hours in the past
and displays the current barometric
pressure. Additionally, the graph will
automatically display the “FALLING”,
“STEADY” OR “RISING” icon and a
curve to represent the rate of change
over the previous 12-hour time period.
Wireless Signal Reception Icon
The display unit has a signal reception icon near the outdoor temperature
display area. If there are a low number of “bars” present, you may
experience no temperature display ( “- -” ) or inaccuracy. In either case, you
may need to relocate one or both of the units. If most or all 4 of the bars are
present, wireless reception is good and no action is required.
Forecast Icon
This feature gives you the predicted weather forecast for the next 12 to 24
hours based on an advanced algorithm that includes barometric pressure and
temperature. This weather station will provide the most accurate forecast that a
single station weather instrument can provide.
About Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric Pressure is defined as the pressure at any location on the
Earth, caused by the weight of the column of air above it. At sea level,
atmospheric pressure has an average value of one atmosphere and
gradually decreases as altitude increases. Also called barometric pressure.
The weight of the atmosphere that envelopes Earth exerts pressure on all
points of the planet's surface. Meteorologists use barometers to measure
this atmospheric pressure (also called barometric pressure). At sea level the
atmospheric pressure is approximately 1 kilogram per square centimeter
(14.7 pounds per square inch), which will cause a column of mercury in a
mercury barometer to rise 760 millimeters (30.4 inches). Variations in the
atmospheric pressure greatly affect the weather. Low pressure generally
brings rain. In areas of low air pressure, the air is less dense and relatively
warm, which causes it to rise. The expanding and rising air naturally cools,
and the water vapor in the air condenses, forming clouds and the drops
that fall as rain. In high pressure areas, the air is dense and relatively cool,
which causes it to sink. The water vapor in the sinking air doesnʼt condense,
resulting in clear skies.

Possible Solution(s)
Relocate the display console and/or the wireless
sensor. Both units must be within 330 feet (100
meters) from each other. Make sure both units are
placed at least 3 feet (.91 m) from other electronic
appliances and devices that may interfere with the
wireless communication (such as TVʼs, microwaves,
computers etc). NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes
for the display console to re-synchronize with the
sensor when batteries are replaced. Use lithium
batteries in sensor when temperature is below -4ºF
(-20ºC). Make sure the A-B-C switch selection in
the battery compartments of the display unit and
sensor match.
As with any weather forecast, 100% accuracy is
not possible. However, this weather station has a
patented “fourteen day learning mode” calibration
process. During this learning mode the weather
station will make altitude calculations that may
affect the accuracy of the forecast. Once the 14
day learning mode process is complete, the
learning mode icon will disappear and the weather
forecast should be ready for superior operation.
Make sure the wireless outdoor sensor is placed
outdoors and is placed in a location that will most
accurately report the outside temperature and
humidity conditions, these readings directly affect
the forecast feature.
Set Wireless ID
This wireless weather
station uses long range
433mhz radio frequency
for communication.
In the event that you have
reception problems due to
interference, both the
display unit and the
wireless sensor have
a selectable wireless ID.
The ID switches are
located within the battery
compartments of the
display unit and the
wireless sensor.
You may choose A, B or C;
but both the display unit
and the wireless sensor
ID's must match for
successful synchronization.
