• If the indoor weather station does not display these values after 1
minute, the signal search will try again every two hours until a signal is
found.
• Once the remote sensor temperature and humidity values are displayed
for 10 minutes you can place the sensor outdoors.
RADIO TIME SIGNAL
After the initial setup period, the weather station will start to search for a radio
time signal.
The time and date signal is sent by a highly accurate government-operated
atomic clock. The weather station will continually scan for the radio controlled
time signal each day.
• If reception is unsuccessful, then the radio time signal icon will not
appear and the manually entered time will be displayed. See page 9 for
instructions on how to enter the time manually.
• If reception has been successful, the radio time signal icon will be
shown and the received time and date will overwrite any manually set
time and date.

MOUNTING
BASE STATION
• There is a folding stand at the
rear
of the base station, which
allows the unit to be stood onto
any flat surface.
• The base station may also be
wall mounted using the
hanging hole on the rear of the
unit.
NOTE: It is important to check that
the radio signal can be
received at the chosen location before permanently mounting
either of the units.

WEATHER FORECASTING
The four weather icons Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rainy represent the
weather types.
NOTE: Weather forecasting is based upon the change of air
pressure.The pressure threshold can be adjusted from level 2-4
(default level 2). See “General Settings” on page 9. Areas that
experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher
setting.
WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS
The weather tendency arrows are located between the weather icons and
provide a forecast of the weather you can expect.
• Arrows pointing to the right - mean that the air pressure is increasing
and the weather is expected to improve.
• Arrows pointing to the left - mean that the air pressure is decreasing
and the weather is expected to deteriorate.
EXAMPLES OF CHANGING WEATHER ICONS:
This is based upon the current pressure and the pressure change over the last
six hours.
• If the weather is changing, the arrows will flash for three hours
indicating changing weather.
• If the weather conditions become stable, then the arrows will not
flash.

STORM WARNING
When there is a fall in pressure (above the threshold) over a period of 3 hours,
the storm warning feature will activate.
• The “cloud with rain” icon and tendency arrows will flash for 3 hours
indicating the storm warning feature has been activated.
NOTE: The storm threshold can be adjusted by the user from level 3-9
(default level 4). See page 9.
