ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time and date 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.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.
1.Have the indoor station and outdoor remote 3 to 5 apart.
2.Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.
3.Place the batteries into the outdoor remote first then into the indoor station.
(All outdoor remotes must be started before the indoor station)
4.DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
In this time the display and sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the station does not display both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can place your sensor outdoors and set your time.
The remote sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote sensor but direct rain must be avoided.
To complete the set up of your temperature station after the 10 minutes have passed please follow the steps on page 9 and 10.
Note: The Remote Control Sender transmits a signal every 3 minutes; after the batteries have been installed, the 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. If a button is pressed before the weather station receives the temperature signal, you will need to follow the battery installation procedure again.

pull out on the battery cover. |
|
2. |
Observe the correct polarity, and |
|
|
install 2 AA batteries. |
|
3. |
Replace the battery cover. |
|
Note: Immediately after the batteries have been installed, the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) will flash, and a tone will sound. Within a few seconds the indoor temperature, indoor relative humidity, and the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed. If not, remove batteries for 10 seconds and reinstall. If the outdoor temperature is not displayed within four minutes, remove batteries from both units, wait 10 seconds, and reinstall making sure to install batteries into the sensor first. The time will show -:-- and start searching for the signal. If it successfully receives the time signal (usually at night), it will display the
5
correct time (default time-zone is Eastern). You will need to adjust the time zone to match your local time.

PROGRAM MODE
Programming Note: If 30 seconds is allowed to pass, or either the IN or the OUT buttons are pressed during programming modes the unit will confirm/set the last information entered—the display will stop flashing and return to normal time-date readings. If you don’t leave the program mode during the programming of sections III through VIII, you can advance to step 3 of the next program setting. If you do leave the program setting (or want to program a specific setting) follow each instructional step to program that setting.
