WIRELESS FORECAST STATION:
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP:
Step 1:
Remove battery cover from the outdoor transmitter.
Slide the battery cover down and lift off the back of
the transmitter
Insert 2 NEW AA batteries (not included) into the
TX29U-IT transmitter. Observe the correct polarity.
Keep the Forecast Station and transmitter within 10
feet during setup (15 minutes).
Step 2:
Remove battery cover from Forecast Station: insert a solid object in the
space provided at the upper-central position of the battery cover, then push
down and pull out to remove the battery cover.
Insert 2 NEW AA batteries (not included) into the back of the Forecast
Station. Observe the correct polarity (see marking inside the battery
compartment).Do NOT mix old and new batteries.
The Forecast Station will display, time (12:00) and indoor temperature.
Within 3 minutes the Outdoor temperature should be displayed.
Trouble shooting:
After 3 minutes, if the Outdoor temperature does not show up in the
designated area on the Forecast Station, remove batteries from both units
and start the setup process again.
For optimal reception performance, of the 915MHz signal, the outdoor
transmitter should be placed within 330 feet (100 meters) from the Forecast
Station.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST radio station, WWVB, 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 Forecast Station. However, due to the nature of the
Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The
Forecast Station will search for a signal every night when reception is best.
The tower icon will show solid when the Forecast Station has received the
WWVB signal.
No tower icon displayed. The Forecast Station was unable to receive a
signal at this time.
Reposition the Forecast Station for better signal reception or try again at
bedtime.
Note: In case the Forecast Station is not able to detect the WWVB signal
(disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.); the time can be manually set by
following the Program Menu.

WEATHER FORECAST ICONS:
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The
weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time.
In areas where the weather is not affected by the change of air pressure, this
feature will be less accurate.
There are 3 possible weather forecast icons that will be displayed :
Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the
weather will be sunny).
Sun with Clouds—indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that
the weather will be sunny with clouds).
Clouds with Rain—indicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not
that the weather will be rainy).
The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure.
The icons change in order, from “sunny” to “partly sunny” to “cloudy” or the
reverse. If the symbols do not change then the weather has not changed, or
the change has been slow and gradual.
Weather Tendency Arrows:
These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure.
Up arrow: indicates air pressure is increasing, weather expected to
improve or remain good.
Down arrow: indicates air pressure is decreasing, weather is
expected to become worse or remain poor.
No arrow: No arrow means the pressure is stable.
VIEW CHANNELS:
The Forecast Station can receive up to 3 outdoor transmitters. Extra TX29UIT transmitters may be found online or at your retailer. Additional transmitters
allow you to monitor remote temperature of up to 3 locations within a 330 Ft
wireless range of the Forecast Station.
Press and release the CH button to view a different channel. A
shift from one “boxed” number to the next should be observed
in the OUTDOOR LCD.
Note: When only one transmitter is connected, you cannot see
other channels and the channel indicator will not show.
OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER RECEPTION ICON:
When the signal is successfully received from the outdoor transmitter, the
icon will be solid.
The icon will flash when searching for the outdoor transmitter signal.
If reception is not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD.
MIN/MAX DATA:
View Indoor MIN/MAX Data: Press and release the IN button to view the
Minimum, Maximum and Current Indoor Temperatures and humidity records.
The Time and Date will flash to show when the Minimum or Maximum
Temperature occurred.
Note: The indoor Humidity is not time and date stamped.

POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight
can reach the remote temperature transmitter or Forecast Station. While the
remote temperature transmitter is weather resistant, avoid submersion in
water or snow. We recommend that you mount the remote temperature
transmitter on an outside North-facing wall. The sending range is 330ft—
obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the
range. Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 15
minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper
reception.
Wall Mount:
1) Remove the mounting bracket from the remote temperature
transmitter.
2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired shaded location
(wall or table).
3) Through the screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting
surface with a pencil.
4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure
that the screws are flush with the bracket.
5) Insert the remote temperature transmitter into the bracket.
Note: Mounting with adhesive tape is not recommended as a permanent
mounting solution. Only use the adhesive tape during set-up process.
POSITION THE WIRELESS FORECAST STATION:
Free Standing: The Forecast Station comes with the table stand already
attached. Pull the stand out from the back of the Forecast Station and place
in an appropriate location.
Wall Hanging
1) Close the table-stand.
2) Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving
approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the
wall.
3) Place the Forecast Station onto the screw using the
hanging hole on the backside.
4) Gently pull the Forecast Station down to lock the screw
into place.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
