Instruction Manual
Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer and Hygrometer with Atomic Radio Controlled Clock
Model number 00592W
Thank you for purchasing the new generation radio-controlled wireless weather clock. This unit is designed and engineered with the state-of-art technology and components. This instrument will provide accurate and reliable measurement including temperature and humidity tendency as well as humidity and indoor/outdoor temperatures. Please read this manual carefully to fully explore the features and benefits of the new product.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
For the first installation, insert batteries in the main unit first, then the remote sensor.
1. Insert 2 AA alkaline batteries into the main unit.
2. Insert 2 AA alkaline batteries into the remote sensor.
*Note: Severe cold weather can cause the batteries to freeze and function improperly. Use lithium batteries when operating under extremely low temperature conditions.
SETTING UP THE WIRELESS THERMOMETER:
Always insert batteries into the main unit first and then the remote sensor. Your new RF thermometer is built with random security code technology. The main unit will learn the random security code of the remote sensor and will be registered without being interfered with by a neighbor who may be using the same type of sensor under the same channel setting. The base unit can monitor up to 3 remote sensors at a time. (One sensor is included with this item.)
Lift off the rear cover of the remote sensor by separating front and back panels at the side seam.
Select the channel with the switch on the right hand side. Place batteries in the sensor and press “TX” button to send a signal to the main unit. Select temperature display at this time by pressing the “C/F” button. Replace the back cover on remote sensor.
Mode button on the inside of the remote sensor allows you to see the humidity and the temperature. When you press the button once it will show humidity, when pressed again
it will show an arrow and that will scroll from temperature and humidity. When pressed again then it will stay on temperature.
When replacing batteries for the remote sensor, remember to clear the corresponding channel of the main unit in this way: Select the respective channel by pressing the CHANNEL button then by holding the CHANNEL button for 3 seconds to clear the registration.
*Note: The “TX” and the “C/F” are hidden inside the protective backing to ensure weather resistance of this unit that is intended for outdoors. The remote sensor(s) are not “waterproof” meaning able to submerse, but rather water resistant or weather resistant. Prolonged exposure to cold weather may cause damage to the LCD panel and in addition can drain your batteries. Extreme heat can cause your batteries to drain and more importantly, explode and corrode in the compartment. Battery corrosion will harm the unit. Although these units are intended for outdoor use, placing them in a protected are will preserve the life of the unit.
About the Atomic Clock:
The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado broadcasts the time signal (WWVB at 60kHz radio signal) with an accuracy of one second per every 3,000 years. The signal covers a distance up to 2,000 miles from the source.
Selecting the Ideal Location:
Like a typical AM radio, the atomic clock will not receive the WWVB signal in places surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. For best reception, please install the home receiver near a window. The tie signal reception is also greatly affected by electrical or electronic interference. If the home receiver location you selected does not work, change to a location in another part of the room or building.
Radio Controlled (R/C) Time Reception Set Up:
The clock attempts to synchronize with the Atomic time signal automatically right after the first remote sensor is registered. The unit starts synchronizing the clock after registering the remote sensor thermometer reading. The clock will not respond to any manual settings while attempting to receive the Radio Control Time signal. This reception cycle will last from 2 to 5 minutes. The tower icon in the right hand corner of the screen appears fixed when reception is successful. It can take the main unit 24 to 72 hours to receive the atomic time signal. To turn the reception off and to enable manual settings, press the SET button.
Entering the Time Zone:
Press and hold the “-C/F(zone)” button for 3 seconds the letter P will appear where the seconds are, then press and release the “-C/F(zone)” button until the correct letter for your time zone appears. The four time zones are P is Pacific, M is Mountain, C is Central, and E is Eastern. Press the SET button to confirm or leave the setting to confirm and exit automatically.
How to Manually Synchronize your Atomic Clock:
Press the SET button to trigger a manual synchronization. The tower will flash regularly during synchronization. Signal strength level is indicated in this way below:
1. Very Weak or no signal (1 icon)
2. Weak (2 icons)
3. Good (full icon)
4. Icon appears fixed and does not blink (reception successful)
5. Icon does not show (no signal received)
