Quick Setup Guide

INITIAL SETUP:

Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline,
standard, or rechargeable batteries

1. Install batteries (2-AAA LR3, 1.5V) into the Thermo­hygro Transmitter according to polarity.

2. Install batteries (2-AAA LR3, 1.5V) into the Weather
Station according to polarity.

3. Place the transmitter and weather station 5-10 feet
apart. When the batteries are inserted, the weather
station will start receiving data signal from the
transmitter. The outdoor temperature and humidity
data should be displayed on the weather station.

4. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries
will need to be removed from both units and reset
from step 1.

5. If the outdoor temperature and humidity are
displayed for 15 minutes, the transmitter can be
placed outside.

Note:

When changing batteries in the units, ensure the batteries
do not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at least
15 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting,
otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur.

THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER

The outdoor thermo-hygro transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC
LR3, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries,
please follow the steps below:

setting up procedures. This is due to a random security
code assigned by the transmitter at start-up. This code
must be received and stored by the weather station in the
first 3 minutes of power being supplied to the transmitter.

1. Remove the battery cover.

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

3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.

Note:

When changing batteries in any of the units,
all units need to be reset by following the

TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE

the steps below:

BATTERY CHANGE:

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

FUNCTION KEYS:

Weather Station:

The Weather Station has 3 easy to use function keys: 1
key on the front, and 2 keys on the back

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

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.

MOON PHASES SYMBOL

The moon icon of the weather station will also display all 8
moon phases throughout the year according to the set
calendar. A bar segment above the moon phase will
indicate current moon phase.

WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS:

The weather icons in the second section of LCD can be
displayed in any of the following combinations:

the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the
change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it
means either the air pressure has not changed or the
change has been too slow for the Weather station to
register

The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of
getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy
as each icon indicates. All reading should be disregarded
for the first 48 hours after set up.

WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR

Working together with the weather icons is the weather
tendency indicators (located on the left and right sides of
the weather icons). When the indicator points upwards, it
means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather
is expected to improve, but when indicator points
downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather
is expected to become worse.

MIN/MAX DATA

VIEW THE MIN/MAX DATA

Press the MIN/MAX key several times to view the
MIN/MAX indoor temperature, and MIN/MAX outdoor
temperature sequentially.

RESET THE MIN/MAX DATA
Press and hold MIN/MAX key for 3 seconds to reset all
the indoor and outdoor temperature to current
temperatures.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD by the time
when the batteries require changing in the display. The
low battery indicator is displayed in the outdoor
temperature area when the batteries in the transmitter
require changing.

LCD SCREEN

The LCD screen is split into 5 sections displaying the
information for time/calendar, weather forecast, moon
phase, indoor data, and outdoor data.

* When the signal is successfully received by the weather
station, the outdoor transmission icon will be switched on.
(If not successful, the icon will not be shown on LCD). The
user can then easily see whether the last reception was
successful (icon on) or not (icon off).

THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER

The temperature may affect the range of the thermo-hygro
transmitter. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance
may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when
positioning the transmitters. Also the batteries may be
reduced in power for the thermo-hygro transmitter.

and humidity readings are receivable. In event that the
signal is not received, relocate the thermo-hygro
transmitter or the weather station slightly as this may help
the signal reception.

POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION

The weather station provides the option of table standing
or wall mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please
check that the outdoor data can be received from the
desired locations.

To wall mount:

1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall
using the screws and plastic anchors.

2. Clip the transmitter onto the bracket.

Note:
Before permanently fixing the thermo-hygro to
the wall base, pace all units in the desired
locations to check that the outdoor temperature

To wall mount:

1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the
desired wall, leaving the head

weather station down to lock the
screw into place.

Foldout table stand:

The foldout table stand leg is located
on the backside. Pull the stand out

weather station, below the battery
compartment. Once the foldout table
stand is extended, place the weather

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

x Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should

be avoided as these may cause damage to the units
and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.

x When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft

damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring
agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.

x Do not submerge the units in water.
x Immediately remove all low powered batteries to

avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new
batteries of the recommended type.

x Do not make any repair attempts to the units. Return

it to their original point of purchase for repair by a
qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the
units may invalidate their guarantee.

x Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden

temperature changes, this may lead to rapid
changes in forecasts and readings and thereby
reduce their accuracy.
