NOTE: The thermometer will automatically time out and return to the normal display mode after approximately 30
seconds.

Installation:

1. Select your location for mounting in an area that is easy to view.

NOTE: The design of the thermometer is such that the display will appear
darker when looking at an upward angle at the display. It is recommended to
mount the thermometer slightly above eye level to ensure the best viewing of
the display.

2. Clean the glass surface completely before mounting.

NOTE: Be sure to completely clean the surface of dust and dirt and let the

area dry completely prior to mounting the thermometer. Failure to do
so may result in bad adhesion between the window and holder.

NOTE: Before continuing please be sure the time is set – See the previous
section on Setting the Time

3. Remove the plastic from the adhesive strip.

4. Press the adhesive strip against the glass to adhere the thermometer.

Please note: In order to obtain the most accurate temperature reading be
sure to mount the thermometer out of direct sunlight. Mounting the unit in
direct sunlight will cause artificially high temperature readings.

Use and MAX/MIN temperatures:

• The upper display shows the current temperature.

• The lower left display shows the minimum temperature.

• The lower right display shows the maximum temperature.

• The maximum temperature automatically resets at 8:00 A.M.

ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency

Division) WWVB radio statio n is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and transmits the
exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal
can be received up to 2, 000 miles away through the internal antenna in the weather
station. However, due to the nature of the earth’s ionosphere, reception is very
limited during daylight hours. The weather station will search for a signal every
night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the
NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is
continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of
a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard measuring
a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum.
For more information on WWVB and the atomic clock please see the NIST website
at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.

1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5
apart.

2. Batteries should be out of b oth units.

3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into
the indoor weather station.
(All remote temperature sensors must be started before the indoor

weather station)

4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

In this time the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor will start to
talk to each other and the indoor weather station will show both the indoor
temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the indoor weather station does not
display both temperatures after the 15 minutes please retry the set up as stated above.
After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 15 minutes you can
place your remote temperature sensor outdoors and set your time.

The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote
temperature sensor has a range of 80 feet. An y walls that the signal will have to pass
through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window can have up to 30 feet of
resistance and an interior wall can have up to 20 feet of resistance depending upon
the type of construction. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a
straight line.

NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature sensor but direct rain
must be avoided.

To complete the set up of your indoor weather station after the 10 minutes have
passed please follow the steps on pages 8 and 9.

Note:

The remote temperature sensor transmits a signal every 3 minutes;
after the batteries have been installed, the indoor weather station will
search for the signal for a duration of 5 minutes. If there is no temperature
reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 5 minutes, make sure the units are
within range of each other or repeat the battery installation procedure.
