doors. This information is displayed directly on
the screen and transmitted to your weather sta-
tion. The wireless WS70 sensor is compatible with
the Geonaute WS700 weather station.
Read these instructions carefully before using this device and retain them for the entire life of the product.
LIMITED WARRANTY
Geonaute guarantees the initial purchaser of this product that it is free from defects of materials and workmanship for a period of two years from date of purchase.Keep the receipt, which is your proof
of purchase.
This guarantee does not cover damage resulting from misuse,
from a failure to observe the precautions for use, nor from acci­dents; neither does this guarantee cover damage resulting from improper maintenance or from use of the device for commercial purposes. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from repairs car-
ried out by persons not authorized by Geonaute. The guarantees contained herein explicitly replace all other gua-
rantees including the implicit guarantee of merchantability and/or suitability for use. Geonaute cannot under any circumstances be held liable for any damage, whether direct or indirect, general or specific, caused by or related to these instructions for use or the products they describe. During the warranty period, the item will either be repaired free of
charge by an authorized repair service or replaced free of charge (at the discretion of the distributor). The guarantee does not cover batteries or cracked or broken
casings where signs of impact are evident.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Use this device with care. Do not drop it and do not sub-
ject it to significant impact. Do not dismantle the sensor. Doing so would void the
Geonaute warranty and could damage the device. This does not apply to changing the batteries, as described under the heading " Changing the Batteries ." Please read the brochure carefully before use and use the
device under normal operating conditions. The wireless sensor is resistant to splashes, but it should
never be immersed in water or exposed to heavy rain. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and wind. Do not expose the sensor to extreme temperatures. In
wintertime, cold temperatures reduce the power and life­time of the sensor's batteries. This means that at cold temperatures (0°C), the sensor may stop transmitting a signal even though it was transmitting at summer tempe­ratures (20°C). To solve the problem, move the sensor closer, or use rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, which are less sensitive to the cold, and change the batteries more often. Like any device utilizing radio transmission, the receiver
and the wireless sensor are sensitive to electromagnetic interference. Do not place them near electromagnetic sources (televisions, computers, cordless telephones, electrical equipment) that may impair their functioning. Never use an abrasive or corrosive cleaner on this device.
Abrasive cleaners may scratch the plastic parts and cor­rode the electronic circuit. Use only new batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries.
Used batteries in contact with new ones could leak.

FIRST USE
IMPORTANT:
This paragraph is crucial to ensuring proper use of the device. It is very important to follow the instructions step by step when using the station for the first time. Do not skip any steps or do them out of order. The order of the steps is important.
In case of problems, you can always come back to this pro­cedure to reset the whole system and get a fresh start.
Startup procedure
It is important to start the initializing or problem-solving proce­dure according to the precise configuration described below. The following checklist must be followed in the right order. Each item on the list is important.
• You have 2 new LR3-AAA batteries for the sensor ; they are not installed in the device.
• 1 Phillips-head screwdriver (precision model) for the sensor screws
• The sensor, with battery cover open, with the table stand
• A fine point for pressing the reset button on the sensor.

All the elements are on the same table away from any source of interference (television, portable phones, etc.)
1. Place the batteries into the sensor according to the indi-
cated orientation. Check that information is displayed on the sensor screen.
2. Choose a free communication channel for the sensor by
toggling the CHANNEL switch on the rear of the sensor, inside the battery cover. The selected channel is dis­played on the sensor screen. Make note of it in the follo­wing chart :

3. Press the RESET button on the sensor. After the display reappears, temperature information is sent in approxima­tely 30-second intervals.
4. Carefully reinsert the seal for the sensor, taking care not to damage it. Next, close the sensor battery cover with the 4 Phillips-head screws.
5. Position the sensor in an upright position on the table, using the table stand provided.
6. Press the RESET button on the station to re-initialize the measurements, or follow the instructions in the paragraph “ How to Add Another Sensor ”.
7. Place the station and the sensors in their final locations. Remember to position the sensors vertically and avoid exceeding the distances specified in the pamphlet with respect to the presence or absence of obstacles between

the sensor and the station.
8. Scroll through the various outdoor temperature channels by pressing the “ CHANNEL " button and select the one that is programmed for the sensor. Verify that the tempe­rature measured by the sensor is properly displayed on the screen. If it is not, start over by bringing the unreco­gnized sensor closer to the station.
INSTALLATION
A. Installing the batteries in the remote sensor and selecting the channel
The remote sensor runs on 2 AAA (LR3) 1.5 V batteries. To install them and select the channel :
1. Unscrew the cover of the battery compartment.
2. Select the channel number using the CHANNEL switch. If you are simply changing the batteries, do not change the position of the CHANNEL switch. Note that once a channel has been assigned to a sensor, you can change it only by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.
3. Insert the batteries in strict accordance with the polarities as indicated in the battery compartment.
4. Put the battery compartment cover back on and re-tigh­ten the screws.
Once the batteries have been inserted in the sensor, data transmission will occur in thirty-second intervals.

Note: For both the remote sensor and the main unit, change the batteries as soon as they are low.
B. Mounting the remote sensor
The remote sensor is equipped with a wall mount that can be attached to the wall with two screws (A). It can also be placed on a horizontal surface with the folding table stand.(B)

C. Maintenance
Here are a few tips on maintaining your sensor :
• Never submerge this device. If the unit comes into contact
with water, dry it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Never use an abrasive or corrosive cleaner on this device.
Abrasive cleaners may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuit.
• Do not expose this unit to excessive pressure, impact,
dust, extreme temperatures, or dampness. Such treatment would cause malfunctioning, reduce the lifetime of the electronic circuit, damage the batteries, and deform the product.
• Do not dismantle the device and do not touch the internal
components. Doing so would void the warranty and could damage components that cannot be repaired by the user.
• Only use brand new batteries. Do not mix brand new bat-
teries with old batteries, since the old ones could leak.
