INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the PCR326.

The basic package comes with a main unit, which is the
weather forecast station and, a remote unit, the thermo sensor.

The main unit is capable of keeping track of the maximum
and minimum temperature of different sites. And no wire
installation is required and operates at 433MHz.

C ALARM BUTTON
Displays the alarm time or sets the alarm status

D MODE BUTTON

Toggles the display mode and confirms entry while setting
the values for display

E LIGHT/SNOOZE BUTTON

Activate the snooze function and backlight

F DOWN ( ) BUTTON

Decreases the value of a setting

G UP ( ) BUTTON

H BATTERY COMPARTMENT

Accommodates four UM-3 or “AA” size batteries, 1.5V

I PROJECTION LIGHT AND ITS ADJUSTMENT
* Press button E [LIGHT/SNOOZE]- Projection light will
come on and turn off automatically after 5 seconds.
* When plug-in adapter and turn on the button
M [CONTINUE-PROJECTION], projection light will
turn on continuously until the button is switched off or the
AC adapter is pulled off.
* Turn the button L [FOCUS] key knob to adjust the focus
of projection image.
* Press button K [FLIP] key to rotate the projection image

in 180˚orien tation clock wise .

* Turn the button J [ROTATE] knob to rotate the image
manually.

N LIGHT SENSOR BUTTON
When plug-in adapter, and the button is at position
* “Auto” : the light sensor function is activated and the LED
backlight will turn on automatically when it is
dark.
* “ON” : the LED backlight will turn on whatever the
environment is.
* “OFF” : light sensor function is off.

C) BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT

1. Open the battery compartment door.

2. Install 4 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly
according to the polarities shown.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

D) LOW BATTERY WARNING

When it is time to replace batteries, the respective low-battery
indicator [ ] will show up on the indoor or outdoor temperature.

E) SOFT-TOUCHING KEY

PCR326 used the new soft-touch key technology. It is different
from the traditional button. You can use the function key by
touching softly on the lens instead of pressing the key.

F) GETTING STARTED

Once batteries are in place for the remote unit, they will start
transmitting temperature readings at around 45 seconds
intervals. The main unit will also start searching for signals for about
two minutes once batteries are installed. Upon successful reception,
the outdoors temperatures will be displayed .The main unit will
automatically update its readings at about 45-second intervals.

If no signals are received, blanks “ ” will be displayed. Hold
[ ] for 2 seconds to enforce another search for about 2 minutes.
This is useful in synchronizing the transmission and reception of
the remote and main units.

PREPARATION FOR USE

A) BEFORE YOU BEGIN

For best operation,

1. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main unit.

2. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective
transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is 20 to 30
meters.
Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building
materials and where the main and remote units are positioned.
Try various set-ups for best result.
Though the remote units are weather proof, they should be
placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

B) BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT

1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.

2. Select the channel

3. Install 4 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly according
to the polarities shown.

4. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.

E WALL-MOUNT RECESSED HOLE

Supports the remote until in wall-mounting

F ˚C/ ˚F BUTTON

Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between the
reading shown on the main unit and that on the remote unit.

G) HOW TO CHECK REMOTE TEMPERATURES

The wave display on the outdoors temperature indicates the
reception of the remote unit is in good order.
If no readings are received from the remote unit for more than
two minutes, blanks “ ” will be displayed until further readings
are successfully searched. Check the remote unit is sound and
secure. You can wait for a little while or Hold [ ] for 2 seconds
to enforce an immediate search.
If the temperature goes above or below than the temperature
measuring range of the main unit or the remote unit (stated in
specification), the display will show “ ”.

H) HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY

The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the
main unit. There are three possible forms:

The unit is in searching mode.

No signals.

Temperature readings are
securely registered.

I) To install the AC-DC adapter for Continue Projection:

Use 4 X AA, 1.5V batteries and AC-DC adapter
(AC230V, 50Hz-DC7.5V, 100mA) included.

Important:

Please make sure your household voltage matched with the
voltage supported by the adapter, or it will damage your clocks
and adapter.

˚C

B) WEATHER FORECAST

The unit is capable of detecting atmospheric pressure changes.
Based on collected data, it can predict the weather for the forthcoming
12 to 24 hours.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION

A) PROJECTION
PROJECTION IMAGE OF CURRENT TIME AND

OUT-DOOR TEMPERATURE:

1.

2. Press “FLIP” key to rotate projection image 180° clockwise.

3. Press and hold the “FLIP” key for 2 seconds to change
temperature information from outdoor temp indoor temp.

4. Press and hold the “FLIP” key for 2 seconds, the temperature
image will swap indoor/outdoor for every 5 second.

DISCONNECTED SIGNALS

If without obvious reasons the display of the outdoor temperature
goes blank, Hold [ ] for 2 seconds to enforce an immediate search.
If that fails, check:

1. The remote unit is still in place.

2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit.
Replace as necessary.
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point, the batteries
of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage supply
and the effective range.

3. The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles
and interference. Shorten the distance when necessary.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home
security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of
this product and cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal
and does not affect the general performance of the product.
The transmission and reception of temperature readings will
resume once the interference recedes.

C) RADIO CONTROLLED TIME AND ALARM SETTING

1.After the batteries are installed. The clock will automatically
search the radio signal. It takes about 3-5 minutes to finish this
process.

2. If the radio signal is received, the date & time will be set
automatically with radio control signal icon [ ] turns on.

3. If the clock fails to receive the time signal, it will be show as
[ ] icon. Then user can set the time manually.
The clock and the calendar share the same section of the display.
The calendar is displayed in a day-month format.
Each press on the MODE button will change the display between
clock with second, clock with day of week, zone time with day of
week.zone time with second and day-month.

HOW TO SET THE CLOCK MANUALLY

To set the clock manually, press [MODE] key to select normal
clock display. Hold [MODE] for two seconds, day of week will
blink.

HOW TO SET AND ARM THE ALARM

To set an alarm,

1. Press [ALARM] once to display alarm time. If the alarm is
