SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP:

STEP 1:

x Remove battery cover from the wireless forecast station. Lift up and pull

out to remove the cover.

x Insert 2 NEW “C” batteries (not included) into the back of the wireless

forecast station. Observe the correct polarity (see marking inside the battery compartment).

x The Wireless Forecast Station will light up and show, indoor

temperature, humidity and pressure.

x Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries x Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries

STEP 2:

x Ensure that the transmitter is within 10 feet of the wireless forecast

station.

x Remove battery cover from TX29UDTH-IT transmitter: Slide the battery

cover down and lift off the back.

x Insert 2 NEW AA batteries into the transmitter. Observe the correct

polarity.

x Within 3 minutes the Wireless forecast station will show readings in the

outdoor temperature area on the LCD.

x Note: Allow the Wireless forecast station and the transmitter to stay

within 10 feet of each other for the first 15 minutes of set up.

TROUBLE SHOOTING:

x If the wireless forecast station does not display the outdoor temperature

after 3 minutes, remove the batteries from both units and start the setup process again.

x For optimal 915MHz signal reception, the outdoor transmitter should be

placed within 330 feet (100 meters) from the indoor Wireless forecast station.

x The forecast icons on the Wireless forecast station require 48-60 hours

to synch with the barometric pressure, so immediate readings may not be accurate.

SETUP WITH MULTIPLE TRANSMITTERS:

The wireless forecast station will accommodate up to three remote outdoor transmitters (TX29UDTH-IT). The SNOOZE/CH button allows

you to easily see the temperature in various locations: outdoors, baby’s room, greenhouse, basement, etc.

To connect multiple remote transmitters to the Wireless Forecast Station:

1. Remove the battery cover from all the transmitters.

2. Insert 2-AA batteries in the first outdoor transmitter .

3. Insert 2 NEW “C” batteries (not included) into the back of the wireless forecast station. The Wireless Forecast Station will light up and show, indoor temperature, humidity and pressure.

4. When the reading appears in the outdoor temperature area, move to the second transmitter.

5. Insert 2-AA batteries in the second outdoor transmitter.

6. The outdoor temperature area should show a temperature reading on channel 1 and on channel 2.

7. When the readings appear in the outdoor temperature area (channel

2), move to the third transmitter.

8. Insert 2-AA batteries in the third outdoor transmitter.

9. When RF (radio frequency) connection is established, the respective temperature & humidity for each of the selected channels (1, 2, or 3) will appear on the main unit. Allow the transmitters and wireless

forecast station to sit near each other for 15 minutes to lock in the signals.

Press and release the SNOOZE/CH button to view channel 1, 2 or 3 on the Wireless Forecast Station when multiple transmitters are used.

Note: You cannot change channels if only one transmitter is connected. Notes:

x If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency of

915MHz for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried for another 45 seconds. If it is still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done during re-synchronization.

x When the wireless forecast station is receiving the WWVB time signal,

the outdoor transmitter data signal will temporarily not be received by the wireless forecast station. During this short period of time, the outdoor readings shown on the wireless forecast station will not be renewed until the WWVB time signal is successfully received.
