signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kH z. The signal can be received up to
2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However, due to the
nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Weather
Station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station
derives its signal 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 as
9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more information on the
atomic clock and WWVB please see the NIST website at

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.
1. Have the Wireless Weather Station and remote tem perature sensor 3 to 5 feet apart.
2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minu tes.
3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the indoor
weather station.
(All remote temperature sensors must be started b efore the Wireless Weather Station)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.
In this time the Wireless Weather Station and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each
other and the display will show both the indoor temperature and humidity, and an outdoor
temperature. If the Wireless Weather Station does not display both temperatures after the 15
minutes please retry the set up as stated above. A fter both indoor and outdoor temperatures are
displayed for 15 minutes you can place your remote temperature sensor outdoor and set your
time.
The remote temperature sensor should be pla ced in a dry, shaded area. The temperature
sensor has a range of 330 feet. Keep in mind that the 330 feet is in open air with no
obstructions and that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will
vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors,
ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.
Example: A Wireless Weather Station with a 330 feet rang e is mounted on an interior wall, so
that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet
width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range to 165 feet, and the
second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet. Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a
maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal range.
This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic siding; however certain
materials can reduce range even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can
reduce signal range by as much as ¾ or more, compared t o the ½ reduction typical of most
obstructions. It is possible to receive a signal th rough these materials, however maximum range
will be much less due to their tendency to absorb or reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s
signal.
To complete the set up of your Wireless Weather Station aft er the 15 minutes have passed
please follow the steps that follow in the Detailed Set-Up Guide.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE
I. BATTERY INSTALLATION (When one temperature sensor is being used)
1. First, insert the batteries to the temperature se nsor (see “A. Remote Temperature
Sensor” below).
2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the sensor, insert the b atteries to the Weather
Station (see “B. Wireless Weather Station” below). Once the batteries are in place, all
segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature and
humidity, and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60
seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 se conds before reinserting
them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the Weather Station will start receiving data signal
from the sensor. The outdoor temperature shoul d then be displayed on the Weather
Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed
from both units and reset from step 1 and the signal reception icon is no longer shown.

VIII. TIME SETTING
There are two methods by which the time and date can be set:
A) Automatically via WWVB reception, or
This method requires you to do nothing, except wait for t he signal to be received, and to select a
time zone. Reception usually takes approximately 10 minut es during optimal conditions. The
best condition for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00 am—when there is less
atmospheric interference. To keep your time as accurate as pos sible, Wireless Weather Station
conducts a WWVB search every night between these hours, and overrides any manually set
time. The WWVB tower icon (appearing in the TIME LCD) will flash when a signal-search is in
progress and a signal is being received, and will remain steady when the signal has been
received. If the WWVB time has not been receive d after 10 minutes of battery installation, you
may manually set the time or leave the time function alone (reception will occur regardless).
After a successful reception, no more reception attempt would be made until the following day.
B) Manually.

I. WEATHER FORECAST
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate and is for the next 12
to 24 hours. The weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure
over time. The WS-9153U-IT averages past air-pressu re readings to provide an
accurate forecast—creating a necessity to disregard all wea ther forecasting for 12-24
hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to another (i.e.
from one floor of a building to another floo r). In areas where the weather is not largely
affected by the change of air pressure, the sensitivit y setting should be set to 1.
A. WEATHER ICONS
There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the FORECAST
LCD:
9
11
WWVB Tower Icon
(indicates time
reception)
Forecast icon
Comfort Level Indicator
Remote S ensor Number
(Up to 3 Total)
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 expecte d to get worse (not
that the weather will be rainy).
These icons indicate the expected weather change in th e next 12 to 24
hours. The icon does not give an exact predictio n of the weather, however it
should be viewed as a generalization of the expected weather change (for
example a “sunny” icon indicates the weather is expected to improve).
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. It will not change from “sunny” directly to “rainy”, although it is
possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then
the weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.
B. WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS
Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2 weather ten dency
arrows, one that points up (on the left side of the LCD) and one that points
down (on the right side of the LCD). These arrows reflect current changes
in the air pressure. An arrow pointing up indic ates that the air pressure is
increasing and the weather is expected to improve or remain good, an arrow
pointing down indicates that the air pressure is d ecreasing and the weather
is expected to become worse or remain poor.
II. INDOOR TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, AND COMFORT LEVEL INDICATOR
The current indoor temperature (viewed on the left) and relative humidity (viewed on
the right) are displayed in the INDOOR LCD. The comfort level indicator is located at
the center of the INDOOR LCD. The indicator will display a happy face icon when the
temperature is between 68°F and 79°F (20°C and 25.9°C), and the humidity is
between 45% and 65%. A sad face icon will be displayed when the temperature and
humidity are outside the mentioned ranges.
III. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
The temperature received from the remote temperature sensor is viewed in the
OUTDOOR LCD. When there is more than one remote temperature sensor unit in
operation, a “boxed” number will appear to the right of the temperature. This indicates
which remote temperature sensor unit (1, 2, or 3) is currently displaying its data in the
OUTDOOR LCD. (This feature is explained in furth er detail in section V—Adding
Remote Temperature Sensors).
IV. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORDS
The WS-9153U-IT keeps a record of the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM temperature, and
the time and date of their occurrence—for both the indoor and outdoor modes.

The WS-9153U-IT is able to receive signa ls from 2 additional temperature sensors.
The following are instructions for the set-up of temperature sensor units with the WS9153U-IT. These extra sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this
unit.
1. Remove all the batteries from the receiver and sensor(s) and wait 60 seconds.
During these 60 seconds, press any button 20 times to discharge any excess
power.
2. Insert the batteries to the first temperature sensor.
3. Within 30 seconds of powering up the first sensor, insert t he batteries to the
Weather Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will
light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature and humidity, time as 12:00,
and calendar will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds,
remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 s econds before reinserting them.
4. The outdoor temperature from the first sensor (c hannel 1) should then be
displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen and the signal
reception icon is not shown, after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be
removed from both units and reset from step 1.
5. Insert the batteries to the second sensor as soon as the outdoor temperature
readings from the first sensor are displayed on the We ather station.
NOTE: You must insert the batteries into the second sensor within 10
seconds of reception of the first sensor.
6. The outdoor temperature from the second sensor and the "channel 2" icon
should then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2
minute, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from
step 1.
7. Insert the batteries to the third sensor as soon as the "channel 2" icon and
outdoor data are displayed on the Weather Station. Then within 2 minutes, the
channel 3 outdoor data from the third sensor will be displayed and the channel
icon will shift back to "1" once the third sensor is successfully received. If this is
not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.
NOTE: You must insert the batteries into the third sensor within 10
seconds of reception of the second sensor.
IMPORTANT: Transmission problems will arise if the setting for multiple
sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems
occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again
the set-up from step 1.
VI. VIEWING AND OPERATING WITH MULTIPLE REMOTE TEMPERATURE
SENSOR UNITS
1. To view the temperature of a different remote temperature sensor unit,
press and release the CH button. A shift from one “boxed” number to the
next should be observed in the OUTDOOR LCD.
2. To view the Minimum/Maximum temperature: firs t select which remote
temperature sensor to read data from (indicated by the “boxed” number),
then press the OUT button. Pressing this button once will display the
minimum temperature, and the date and time the data was recorded.
14
Pressing this button a second time (while “MIN” is still displayed, otherwise
press the button twice) will display the same data for the maximum
recordings.
6. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, it is n ecessary to select which
remote temperature sensor you wish to reset. Press and hold the OUT
button for 5 seconds, the records for the selected remote temperature
MOUNTING
sensor unit will be reset.
Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the Wir eless Weather Station is able
to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden
changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the Wireless Weather Station,
and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12
to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable
data. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can
reach the remote temperature sensor or Wireless Weather Station. While the remote
temperature sensor is weather proof, avoid subm ersion in water or snow. We
recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor 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 mounti ng to ensure that there is proper
reception. The Wireless Weather Station shoul d display a temperature in the
OUTDOOR LCD within 4 minutes of setting up.
I. THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

and under normal conditions, so two sensors could b e as much as 4ºF different.
However, the difference can be exaggerated further because the sensors are
designed for different working environments. The indoor sen sor is less responsive to
ambient air currents because of the shieldin g effect of the display's case. In addition,
the case can act as a heat sink to absorb and store heat from e xternal sources (i.e.
handling of the case or radiant heat). Also, the much greater range of the outdoor
temperature sensor requires a different calibration curve than the indoor range. Error
is usually greater at the extreme ends of a range, making it harder to compare
different ranges with different curves. Under non-laboratory conditions, it is difficult to
compensate for the above factors and obtain an accurate comparison.
• Extreme temper atures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prevent
damage to the units.
• Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring
agents; they may mark the displays and casings.
