THIS STATION LEARNS
The Forecast Station calibrates barometric pressure based on its location over a period of time to generate an accurate, personal forecast. Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for barometer calibration.
IMPORTANT: As the Forecast Station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the Forecast Station operates in one location, the more accurate the forecast icons will be.

Setup Instructions Step-by-Step
STEP 1:
Insert the 5-volt A/C power adapter into the designated area on the back of the Forecast Station. Plug the A/C power adapter into a wall outlet for continuous backlight (ON/OFF), and dimmer feature.
STEP 2: (optional battery operation)
Slide tab to down and pull out to remove the battery cover.
Insert three new AAA batteries (not included) into the back of the Forecast Station. Observe the correct polarity (see marking inside the battery compartment).
The Forecast Station will light up and show indoor temperature, humidity and time.
(Backlight will illuminate for 8 seconds when using only battery power with a press/release of the SNOOZE/LIGHT button)
Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries
STEP 3:
Ensure that the transmitter is within 10 feet of the Forecast Station.
Remove battery cover from transmitter. Slide the battery cover down and lift off the front. Insert two new AA batteries into the TX141TH-B transmitter. Observe the correct polarity. Within three minutes, the Forecast Station will show readings in the outdoor temperature area on the LCD.
Note: Use Alkaline batteries (or Lithium for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C).
Troubleshooting
After the batteries are inserted, the Forecast Station will search for the outdoor temperature/humidity transmitter for three minutes.
The antenna symbol 
will flash during reception and temperature display will be dashes “---“.
No antenna symbol will show during RF (radio frequency) synchronization.
If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar. 
If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars. 
If RF (radio frequency) reception fails five times, the antenna symbol will be shown as 
.
The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio frequency) reception.
