OPERATION

The weather forecaster is designed to measure local pressure and calculate

the other two parameters based on the Local Pressure. Sea Level Pressure

and Altitude are interdependent. If you adjust altitude, it will calculate sea level

pressure, if you adjust sea level pressure, it will automatically calculate altitude.

You can only adjust one of the two – either sea level barometric pressure or

altitude.

If you wish to know pressure changes at your specific location (house), the

LOCAL barometric pressure should be selected In this case, the local

altitude/elevation must be programmed according to GPS readings, Internet,

etc.

If you wish to know pressure changes in your surrounding metro area, then

11

SEA LEVEL barometric pressure option should be selected. In this case, the

SEA LEVEL barometric pressure value can be adjusted according to the local

metro area weather information. (Sources – local TV or radio station, etc).

NOTE: Locate your altitude with a portable GPS receiver or topographical

map .Locate barometric pressure at: http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/ccus.html

or, alternatively, from local radio or TV weather channels.

Once the main unit is powered, the display will show all available LCD

segments for a moment

IMPORTANT:

pressure parameters and your local altitude. The locked display will show the

abbreviation “hPa/mBar” flashing in the Pressure Mode, indoor temperature

and humidity readings in Temperature/Humidity Mode, default time in Clock

Mode and a default date in the Alarm/Calendar Mode.

If the pressure and altitude are not configured during this time, the unit will

self-calibrate in a few minutes and show the default settings for the pressure

and altitude (sea level) and the remote sensor reading.

NOTE

: This is the only time when you can enter/adjust your local altitude

units and value.

To set the pressure & altitude units and program your altitude, use the main unit

buttons located on the back:

All of the display functions will be locked, allowing setting

• Press UP or DOWN to adjust an altitude value. Press and hold either

LOST COMMUNICATION

If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading goes blank, press

and hold DOWN (▼) button for 2 seconds to begin a new signal search. If the

signal still isn’t received, please make sure that:

• The remote sensor is in its proper location.

• The distance between main unit and remote sensor(s) is not over 100

feet (30 meters)

• The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the distance if

necessary.

• Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor and main

unit.

If there is no reception, please perform the following steps:

• Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.

• Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the remote sensor with

small Phillips screwdriver, and open the battery compartment.

• Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and reinstall them

in the same manner. Remote sensor LED indicator will flash showing

transmission of the signal.

• Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in the same

manner.

• On the main unit select the same channel number using CHANNEL

button as set on the remote sensor. The remote temperature and

humidity appeared on the main unit’s display will show that

transmission is being received successfully.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

Signals from the other household devices such as wireless doorbells, home

security systems, and entry control, may interfere with this product or cause

temporary reception interruption. This is normal and will not affect the general

performance of the product. The transmission and reception of the temperature

and humidity readings will resume once the interference subsides.

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station

(WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal

continuously throughout the most of the continental United States at 60 KHz

frequency. The Barometric Weather Forecaster can receive this WWVB signal

through the internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of

the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The

radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station that receives the

19

19

20

atomic time signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.

The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio signal

reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time

and date are not set automatically, please consider the following:

• During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less

severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception

is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.

After the clock is set manually, place the Weather Forecaster by the window for

the better reception. The atomic clock receiver is programmed that it will

continue to search for the atomic time signal daily for every hour between 1:00

am and 4:30 am.

Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and date will be

updated automatically.

• Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance from any

interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.

• Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, the

received signal may be weakened. Always place the Weather

Forecaster near the window for better reception.

ATOMIC CLOCK

Immediately after establishing communication between the main unit and

remote sensor, the atomic time signal receiver will open and start to search for

the atomic time signal. The search usually takes between 5-8 minutes.

NOTE

: Do not press any buttons on the main unit during auto search as it

may interrupt product’s operation, and you will need to start set up

procedure again.

Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set

automatically, and the [
