Within 3 minutes the weather station will beep and the outdoor temperature should be displayed on the LCD. If the outdoor temperature is not displayed after 3 minutes, hold the SEARCH button on the main unit to search for outdoor sensor. Then press the TX button on the sensor to send signal. If it still does not receive the outdoor temperature, remove

AC power and batteries from the receiver, remove the batteries from the transmitter and go back to step 1 of the set up.

To ensure sufficient 434 MHz transmission, the outdoor transmitter should be placed a distance of no more than 200 feet (60 meters, open air) from the weather station.

3.The Time Zone will flash EST. Press and release the UP or DOWN button to select the Time Zone. Press and release the SET button.

4.The Weather Forecast Icons will flash. Press and release the UP or DOWN button to select the forecast icon that represents your current local weather. Press and release the SET button to confirm.

5.The Temperature / Humidity section of the LCD will flash as the display searches for a signal from the outdoor transmitter.

Insert 2-AAA alkaline batteries into the outdoor transmitter, observing the correct polarity (marking inside battery compartment). Keep the outdoor transmitter 5-10 feet from the weather station.

WWVB RECEPTION icon with full signal strength will appear on screen if the reception of atomic time is successful. The atomic weather station will have a daily synchronization at 02:03 and 03:03 every day. Each reception cycle is minimum 2.5 minutes and maximum 10 minutes.

In normal mode, press the RCC until the reception icon appears to enforce searching of radio-controlled clock signal. If this icon disappears afterwards, radio time signal is not available at the moment.

Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters).

Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Fort Collins, Colorado, transmitter.

During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.

NOTE: In case the atomic weather station is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set (please refer to notes TIME SET).

TIME SET: The SET button moves through the program menu and the UP or DOWN button change the values.

POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The remote temperature sensor should be mounted vertically.

WALL MOUNT

Install one screw (not included) into a wall leaving 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall. Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.

Mount where direct sunlight cannot reach the outdoor temperature sensor. Mount the outdoor temperature sensor on a North-facing wall or in any well-shaded area. The maximum transmitting range in open air is 200-feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. The sensor is water resistant but not waterproof. The sensor can be rained on but should not be subject to standing water/snow.
