sunshine)
SETTING UP:
Note: This weather station receives only one outdoor sensor.
IMPORTANT:
Please place the Weather station at least 5 feet away from the Sensor before inserting the batteries in
the units in order for the Sensor to transmit accurate initial data to the Weather station.
5
1. First, insert the batteries into the Temperature sensor. (see “Install and replace batteries in the
Temperature sensor“).
2. Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Weather station (see “Install
and replace batteries in the Weather station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of
the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as 12:00 and the "Weather man" icon will be
displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least
10 seconds before reinserting them.
3. After inserting the batteries, the Weather station will start receiving data from the sensor. The
outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the Weather
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. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions
be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the Weather Station and the
sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).
Note:
• If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45 seconds, the
frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 45 seconds. If still not
6
successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for resynchronization.
BATTERY INSTALLATION

WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY:
The weather forecast icons (Weather man):
One of the 15 different weather icons (featured by Weather man with different clothing) is displayed in the
centre of LCD, which indicates the different forecast weather conditions (Sunny, Sunny + Cloudy or
Cloudy + Rainy) due to change in air pressure level and the current outdoor temperature:
Sunny
≥ 78.8°F (26°C)
66.2 to 78.6°F
(19 to 25.9°C)
50 to 66°F
(10 to 18.9°C)
17
32 to 49.8°F
(0 to 9.9°C)
< 32°F (0°C)
Sunny + Cloudy
≥ 78.8°F (26°C)
66.2 to 78.6°F
(19 to 25.9°C)
50 to 66°F
(10 to 18.9°C)
18
32 to 49.8°F
(0 to 9.9°C)
< 32°F (0°C)
Cloudy + Rainy
For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, 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 Projection Station to register. However, if the
≥ 78.8°F (26°C)
66.2 to 78.6°F
(19 to 25.9°C
)
19
50 to 66°F
(10 to 18.9°C)
32 to 49.8°F
(0 to 9.9°C)
< 32°F (0°C)
icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better
(with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny
or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is
displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air
pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.
Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will
allow sufficient time for the Weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and
therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting
feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Weather station
has been designed for use in. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from
sunny to rain), the Weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is
stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
20
If the Weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing
point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), remove the batteries and reinsert them after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather station will not mistake the new location
as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude. Again,
disregard weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours as this will allow time for operation at a constant
altitude.
THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR
Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendency indicators (the upward and downward
arrow located near the Weather man). 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 airpressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse.
21
Therefore, user may see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if the
indicator is pointing downwards together with cloudy icons, it means that the last noticeable change in the
weather was when it was sunny (the sunny icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be
the cloudy icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.
Note:
• Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will remain
permanently visualized on the LCD.
• When the tendency indicator is pointing to the right, it means that no pressure change has been
detected by the weather station from the beginning. Therefore, the coming weather condition is
expected to be more or less the same as the current condition.
THE COMFORT LEVEL INDICATOR:
The comfort level indicator is located at the right of the weather man icon:

The coming weather condition is expected to be more
or less the same as the current condition

915 MHz RECEPTION
The Weather station should receive the temperature data within 5 minutes after set-up. If the temperature
data is not received 5 minutes after setting up (not successfully continuously, the outdoor display shows
“- - -” ), please check the following points:
1. The distance of the Weather station or sensor should be at least 1.5 to 2 meters away from any
interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid positioning the Weather station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal
frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also cause
interference.
Note:
When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the sensor or
Weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this
27
happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may
occur.
The transmission range is about 100 m from the sensor to the Weather station (in open space). However,
this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite
the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).
MOUNTING
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:
The Weather Station may be hung onto wall easily or free standing.
To wall mount
Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine.
Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values can be
received from the desired locations.
1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out the
by about 5mm.
2. Remove the stand from the Weather Station by pulling it away from the base and
28
Free standing
hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place
before releasing.
With the foldout stand, the weather station can be placed onto any flat surface.
29
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR:
The Sensor is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two
screws supplied. The Sensor can also be position on a flat surface by securing
the stand to the bottom to the Sensor.
To wall mount:
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors.
2. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the bracket.
30
Note:
Before permanently fixing the sensor wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the
outdoor temperature reading is receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the sensors or
move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to
the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.
• Precautions shall be taken when handling the batteries. Injuries, burns, or property damage may
be resulted if the batteries are in contact with conducting materials, heat, corrosive materials or
explosives. The batteries shall be taken out from the unit before the product is to be stored for a
long period of time.
• Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with
new batteries of the recommended type.
• 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.
• Do not submerge the unit in water. Furthermore, fix all parts in place where the units are
adequately protected against moisture and rain.
31
• Special care shall be taken when handling a damaged LCD display. The liquid crystals can be
harmful to user's health.
• Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of purchase for
repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their
guarantee.
• Never touch the exposed electronic circuit of the device as there is a danger of electric shock
should it become exposed.
• 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.
