INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the IBR923 Digital Weather
Forecaster with Hygrometer and RF Clock. The IBR923 is an all-in-one
weather forecasting device and clock.

The IBR923, a weather forecasting device, has several weather
related functions. A main feature is that it takes and records
temperatures in more than one location. Using a wireless remote
thermo-sensor, it can simultaneously monitor temperatures in
three remote locations. The unit will show temperature trends and
record maximum and minimum temperature readings.

As part of the weather forecasting function, a built-in barometer that
displays atmospheric pressure. Using graphic illustrations the unit
displays atmospheric pressure trends and displays forecasts as
sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, and rainy.

The IBR923 is also a Radio Frequency (RF) controlled clock. It can
automatically synchronize its current time and date when it is
brought within an approximate 1500 km radius of the radio signal
generated from Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77).
