TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER PROJECTION STATION

The Weather Projection Station uses 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1.Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.

2.Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3.Replace compartment cover.

TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE THERMOHYGRO SENSOR

The Thermo-hygro sensor uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1.Remove the battery cover.

2.Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3.Replace the battery cover on the unit.

Note:

In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is due to a random security code assigned by the sensor at start-up. This code must be received and stored by the Weather Projection Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to the sensor.

BATTERY CHANGE:

It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of these units.

Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorized depot.

SETTING UP

The Weather Projection Station can be either batteries-operated or powered by the provided AC-DC adapter.

BATTERY INSTALLATION:

1.First, insert the batteries into the Weather Projection Station (see “To install and replace batteries in the Weather Projection Station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Then the ALM1 6:00, the indoor temperature and humidity, the time as 12:00, the date as WE 1.1., the moon icon, the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed. If the indoor temperature and indoor humidity are not displayed after 15 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 3 minutes before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed proceed to step 2.

2.Within 4 minutes of activating the Weather Projection Station, place the batteries into the sensor (see “To install and replace batteries in the Thermo-hygro Sensor“).

3.After inserting the batteries into the sensor, the Weather Projection Station will start receiving data from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity should then be displayed on the Weather Projection Station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

4.The Weather Projection Station can receive up to 3 remote Outdoor Thermo-hygro sensors. If you have purchased additional sensors, repeat from step 3 for all extra sensors. However, ensure that you leave 10 seconds in between the reception of the last sensor and the set-up of the

following sensor. The Weather Projection Station will number the sensors in the order of set-up, i.e. the first sensor will have the temperature/humidity displayed with the number 1 against it and so on.

5.With less than 3 sensors received, the Weather Projection Station will try to pick up the remaining one in approximately another 3 minutes. If 3 sensors are received, the Weather Projection Station will stop further reception.

6.Once the outdoor temperature and the humidity have been received and displayed on the Weather Projection Station, the WWVB time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 6-8 minutes in good conditions.

7.If after 10 minutes, the WWVB time has not been received, use the SET key to manually enter a time initially. The clock will automatically attempt to receive the WWVB time from 12:00 to 6:00 a.m. for a successful reception. When WWVB reception signal is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time. The next reception attempt will occur on the following day. (Please refer to notes on “About WWVB Radio controlled Time” and “Manual Time Setting”).

Your Weather Projection Station is now operational!

Note:

If the batteries are used as the main power source:

1.Projected image brightness, alarm volume and back-light strength will be weaker when batteries are low

2.Battery life time will be much less than 1 year; depending on the frequency of projection and alarm.

TO USE THE PROJECTOR POWER ADAPTER

The unit comes with an AC-DC adapter for using the projector for an extended period of time, such as throughout the night.

To connect the AC-DC adapter:

Important!

Make sure that your household voltage is 120V! Otherwise it can result in damaging your Weather Projection Station.

1.Connect the AC-DC adapter to a wall socket. Plug the adapter into the jack at the side of the Weather Projection Station. All segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Then the ALM 1 6:00, the indoor temperature and humidity, the time as 12:00, the date as WE 1.1., the moon icon, the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed. If the indoor temperature and indoor humidity are not displayed after 15 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 3 minutes before reinserting them.

2.Within 4 minutes of activating the Weather Projection Station, place the batteries into the sensor (see “To install and replace batteries in the Thermo-hygro Sensor“).

3.After inserting the batteries into the sensor, the Weather Projection Station will start receiving data from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity should then be displayed on the Weather Projection Station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

4.The Weather Projection Station can receive up to 3 remote Outdoor Thermo-hygro sensors. If you have purchased additional sensors, repeat from step 3 for all extra sensors. However, ensure that you leave 10 seconds in between the reception of the last sensor and the set-up of the following sensor. The Weather Projection Station will number the

sensors in the order of set-up, i.e. the first sensor will have the temperature/humidity displayed with the number 1 against it and so on.

5.With less than 3 sensors received, the Weather Projection Station will try to pick up the remaining one in approximately another 3 minutes. If 3 sensors are received, the Weather Projection Station will stop further reception.

6.Once the outdoor temperature and the humidity have been received and displayed on the Weather Projection Station, the WWVB time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 6-8 minutes in good conditions.

7.If after 10 minutes, the WWVB time has not been received, use the SET key to manually enter a time initially. The clock will automatically attempt to receive the WWVB time from 12:00 to 6:00 a.m. for a successful reception. When WWVB reception signal is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time. The next reception attempt will occur on the following day. (Please refer to notes on “About WWVB Radio controlled Time” and “Manual Time Setting”).

Your Weather Projection Station is now operational!

Note:

If the Weather Projection Station is powered through the AC-DC adapter, the projection will be constantly ON.

If the Weather Projection Station is battery operated, only when the SNOOZE key is pressed, the projection will turn ON. Once the SNOOZE key is released, there will be no projection.

USING BOTH BATTERIES THE POWER ADAPTOR

If the Weather Projection Station is first powered by batteries and the AC-DC adapter is subsequently used for extended period of time, the main power source of the Weather Projection Station will switch to AC power. The batteries will then act as a backup power source in the case of power failure.

RESETTING

The Weather Projection Station and the Thermo-hygro sensor need to be reset when one of the following conditions occur:

Unsuccessful 433MHz signal reception.

Malfunction on the units.

Batteries replacement.

For resetting, remove all batteries from the units and unplug the AC-DC adapter from any power source. Wait at least for 3 minutes before powering

up the Weather Projection Station again. Proceed from step 1 in “Setting Up”,“Battery Installation” or “How to use the Projector Adaptor”.

HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR

The projector projects the current time and the current outdoor temperature onto the ceiling, preferable within a darkened room. The projection image can also be adjusted in 4 upright positions, each with a rotation of 90º by

using the key .

TO PROJECT THE TIME OR TEMPERATURE ONTO A FLAT SURFACE:

The projector will only project the current time, outdoor temperature or alternate between time/outdoor temperature only.

1.Point the projection lens to the appropriate direction (maximum distance of the projection is 6 feet/2 meters).

2.Press the DISPL key to select the desired mode for the projection. There are 3 display modes:

M0 – projecting the current time only.

M1 – projecting the current outdoor temperature only.

M2 – projecting by switching the display of the current time and the current outdoor temperature for every 5 seconds.

3.Adjust the projection image in an upright position with the key.

Note:

If more than one Thermo-hygro Sensor is used, only the temperature from sensor 1 will be projected.

Note:

The projection brightness is not adjustable as it is constantly set at its brightest level.

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 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 Projection Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Weather Projection Station will search for a signal every night when reception is best.

The WWVB radio station receives the time data 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
