FEATURES:

• LCD clock in 12 or 24 hour time display

• Indoor and outdoor temperature reading in degree Cel sius (°C) or degree Fahrenheit (°F)

• Can receive up to three Outdoor transmitters

• Indoor and outdoor temperature with Minimum and Maximum records

• Wireless transmission at 868 MHz

• Signal reception intervals at 4 secon ds

• Table standing or wall mountable (detachable table stand)

SETTING UP:

WHEN ONE TRANSMITTER IS USED

1. First, insert the batteries in the transmitter (see “How to install and replace batteries in the
Temperature Transmitter” below).

2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the tra nsmitter, insert the batteries in th e Temperature
Station (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Temperature Station” bel ow).
Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up bri efly. Following the
indoor temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed . If these information are not
displayed on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds
before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is d isplayed user may proceed to the next step.

3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start receiving data signal from
the transmitter. The outdoor temperature data should then be displ ayed on the Temperature
Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteri es will need to be removed from
both units and reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, the distan ce between the Weather
Station and the transmitter should not be more than 100 meters (see notes on “Positioning” and
“868 MHz Reception”).

Note:

In the event of changing batteries of the unit s, ensure the batteries do not spring free from the contacts.
Always wait at least 1 minute after removing the batteries before reinsert ing, otherwise start up and
transmission problems may occur.

WHEN MORE THAN ONE TRANSMITTER IS USED

1. User shall remove all the batteries from the W eather Station and transmitters, and wait 60 seconds.

2. Insert the batteries in the first transmitter.

3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the fi rst transmitter, insert the batteries in the Temperature Station.
Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up bri efly. Following the indoor
temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If these i nformation are not displayed on the LCD
after 60 seconds, remove the batteries from both units and wait for at least 60 seco nds before
reinserting them.

4. The outdoor temperature data from the first transmitter (channel 1) shoul d then be displayed on the
Temperature Station. Also, the signal reception i con will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2
minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

5. Insert the batteries in the second transmitter as soon as the ou tdoor temperature readings from the
first transmitter are displayed on the Temperature Station .

Note :

User shall insert the batteries i nto the second transmitter within 45 seconds after the

Temperature Station displays the information of the fir st transmitter.

6. The outdoor temperature from the second transmitter and the "channel 2" icon shoul d then be

21

displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not h appen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need
to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.

7. Insert the batteries in the third transmitter as soo n as the "channel 2" icon and outdoor data are
displayed on the Temperature Station. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the
third transmitter will be displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third transmitter
is successfully received. If this is no t happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.

Note :

User shall insert the batteries i nto the third transmitter within 45 seconds after the
Temperature Station displays the information of the fir st transmitter. Or immediately after reception of
the second transmitter is finished.

8. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, the distan ce between the Weather
Station and the transmitter should not be more than 100 meters (see notes on “Positioning” and

“868 MHz Reception”).

IMPORTANT:

Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described above.
Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batterie s from all units and start again
the set-up from step 1.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION
