INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of the RCW416.

The basic package comes with a main unit, which
is the weather forecast station, a remote unit that is
the thermo-hygrometer and the AC/DC adaptor.

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

The packaging consists of:

- Main Unit

- Outdoor Thermo-hygrometer sensor

- AC-adaptor

- Instruction Manual

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.

BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT

1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.

2. Select the channel

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

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

TURN ON MAIN UNIT

To install 2 batteries (UM-3 or AA size 1.5V) strictly into
the main unit and plug the AC-adaptor to give power to
the main unit as well, you will see the display is lighted up.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

FOR THE REMOTE SENSOR

When it is time to replace batteries for the remote sensor,
the respective low battery indicator will show up on
display. In addition, the low battery indicator will
show up on the Main Unit display for this specified
Remote Sensor Unit.

COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS

The comfort level indicators COM, WET or DRY will
tell you if the current environment is comfortable, too
wet, or too dry. The comfort indicators will appear on
the display of the Main Unit when the following
conditions are satisfied:

FOR THE MAIN UNIT

When the battery power is not enough, there is a
battery icon will be shown on the display, so we
need to use the new batteries.
If the AC-adaptor cannot connect to the Main Unit
properly, or the AC-adaptor is removed out of the
Main Unit, the icon will be shown on display.

SETTING UP THE REMOTE
TEMP. AND RC CLOCK

a. Once batteries are in place for the remote unit, they
will start transmitting temperature and humidity
readings at around 45 seconds intervals.
The main unit will also start searching for signals for
about two minutes once batteries are installed. 10
seconds upon successful reception, the outdoors
temperatures and humidity will be displayed .The
main unit will automatically update its readings at
about 45-second intervals.
b. If no signals are received, blanks “ ” will be
displayed.
Hold [ SEARCH ] 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.
c. When remote signal reception is finished, it will
automatically synchronize its current time and dated
when brought within rang of the “DCF” RF signal.
Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies
between the reading shown on the main unit and that
on the remote unit.

SETTING ALARM 2

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.

HOW TO SET THE RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK

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 user wishs to disable the auto-reception feature,
hold the [ + ] button for 2 seconds to disable it.

3. To enable the auto-reception feature again, holds the
[ + ] for 2 seconds again to force it receive and allow
it receive at desired time.

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

5. If the clock fails to receive the time signal, it will be show
as [ ] icon. Then user can set the time manually.

HOW TO SET THE CLOCK MANUALLY

To set the clock manually, hold [MODE] for two
seconds it will show the display language. Use [ + ] or
[ – ] to change it. Press [MODE] to confirm. Repeat
the same procedure to set year, month, date, 12/24 hour
format, hour and minute. During the setting, use [ + ]
or [ – ] will increase or decrease the value rapidly.
For display language, you are able to select English (En),
German (DE), French (Fr), Italian (IT), Spanish (SP)
and Dutch (DU).
If there is an item you do not need to change, simply
press [MODE] to bypass the item.
When you finished the change, press [MODE] to exit.
The display will return to the clock mode.

PRECAUTIONS

This product is engineered to give you years of
satisfactory service if you handle it carefully. Here are
a few precautions:

WEATHER FORECAST

The Main Unit is able to detect atmospheric pressure
changes. Based on the collected data, it can predict
the weather for the forthcoming 12 to 24 hours.

DISCONNECTED SIGNALS

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

1. The Remote Sensor Unit is still in place

2. The batteries of both the Remote unit and the Main
Unit. (Notes: 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.
