Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
manufacturer will void the warranty.
Caution
1. Avoid exposing the wireless remote unit to extreme temperatures, water or
severe shock.
2. Do not expose the main unit to conditions of excessive force, shock, dust,
extreme temperature, direct sunlight or humidity. Any of these conditions may
shorten the life of the clock.
3. Do not tamper with any of the internal components of the unit. This will void
the warranty under the above conditions.
4. Use only fresh batteries. Mixing old and new batteries may cause battery leakage.
Quick Start
1. The unit comes with a plug-in adapter and 6 AA batteries. The batteries are
for backup in case of a power outage. (This allows the unit to keep the
time and other functions, although when on battery backup, the unit functions only as a clock. The radio, voice message and wake-up features will
not operate.) To start the unit, install the batteries, then plug the main unit
into a wall outlet using the included 10.5V adapter. If the radio is not working, check that the adapter has been plugged in properly.
2. Insert 2 AA batteries into the battery compartment on the remote unit, ensuring
proper polarities are observed. Once the batteries are installed, the temperature
appears on the remote unit’s LCD screen.
3. Once both units — main and remote — are operating, the main unit shows
the outdoor temperature that appears on the remote unit. This occurs within
a few minutes.
4. After this occurs, place the remote unit in the desired outdoor location within
100 feet of the main unit. This should be as close to the main unit as possible.
Ensure that it is not in direct sunlight. If necessary, screw the included wallmount bracket to a convenient outdoor location and place the remote unit
inside the bracket.
Note: For more details on synchronization, please refer to the section entitled,
“Wireless Remote Temperature Transmission.”

5. A weather icon appears on the display showing the weather with one of five
different icons from Sunny to Stormy. These icons project the next six hours
of weather and weather trends. The weather center must be acclimated to
the local area and altitude.
This process takes 48 hours.
Notes:
• The first weather reading will not be accurate.
• For more details on weather forecast icons and features, refer to the section entitled,
“Weather Forecast.”
6. To set the clock, slide the
LOCK/ALMSET/TIMESET/CALENDAR switch to
the
TIMESET position. The clock time blinks. Press the HR/MONTH and
MIN/DATE buttons until the desired time appears on the display. Slide the
LOCK/ALMSET/TIMESET/CALENDAR switch to the LOCK position.
7. To set the alarm time, slide the
LOCK/ALMSET/TIMESET/CALENDAR switch
to the
ALMSET position. The alarm time blinks. Press the HR/MONTH and
MIN/DATE buttons until the desired alarm time appears on the display. Slide
the
LOCK/ALMSET/TIMESET/CALENDAR switch to the LOCK position. (See
“Alarm Functions” section for more information.)
8. To set the calendar, slide the
LOCK/ALMSET/TIMESET/CALENDAR switch to
the
CALENDAR position. The date blinks. Press the HR/MONTH and MIN/DATE
buttons until the current date appears on the display. Slide the LOCK/ALM-
SET/TIMESET/CALENDAR
switch to the LOCK position.
Synchronization of Remote Unit & Main Unit
1. After inserting the batteries into the main unit and remote unit, plug in the
main unit using the 10.5V adapter. The LCD on the unit shows the indoor
temperature and, within minutes, shows the outdoor temperature — the same
temperature that appears on the remote unit. If at least 10 minutes pass and
the outside temperature field displays “---,” ensure that there is a temperature
appearing on the remote unit. If a temperature does appear on the remote
unit, press the
RE-SYNC button on the main unit and the RESET button on
the remote unit. The temperature will appear within a few minutes.
2. Once the units are in sync, place the remote unit in a desired outdoor location
within 100 feet of the main unit. Once you have located a place for the outdoor unit, ensure that the main unit continues to show an outdoor temperature. If it is not showing an outdoor temperature, the remote unit has been
placed either too far away or in an area where there is interference blocking
the signal. The outdoor unit should be placed as close as possible to the main
unit with as little interference as possible (walls, appliances, computers, etc.
