Mounting at a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain
and sunshine
1. First, insert the batteries into the Temperature transmitter. (see “Install and replace
batteries in the Temperature transmitter“).
2. Immediately after and within 2 minutes, insert the batteries into Tempe rature station
(see “Install and replace batteries in the Temperature station”). Once the
batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor
temperature will de display. 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 into the transmitter, the Temperature station will start
receiving data from the transmitter. The outdoor t emperature and the signal reception
icon should then be displayed on the Temperature 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 330 feet (TBC) (100 meters-TBC) between the
final position of the Temperat ure Station and the transmitter (see notes on
“Mounting” and “915 MHz Re c e ption”).
Note:
If the signal reception is not successful on the first fr equency (915MHz) for 22 seconds,
the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 22 seconds. If still
not successful the reception is tried for 22 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done
for re-synchronization.
INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather station in the first 3
minutes of power being supplied to it
The Temperature Transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V
battery. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the
steps below:
1. Pull out the battery holder at the bottom of the transmitter.
2. Insert the batteries, ob serving the correct polarity (see
marking).
3. Replace the battery holder on the unit.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units
need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is
because a random security code is assigned by the transmitter at

INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to
ensure optimum accuracy of these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return
used batteries to an authorised depot.

The Temperature station use s 2 x AA, IEC LR6,
1.5V batteries. To install and replace the
batteries, please follow the steps below:

RESETTING THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR MAXIMUM/ MINIMUM RECORDS
Press and hold the MIN/MAX key for about 2 seconds, this will reset all the indoor and
outdoor MIN/MAX temperature records to the current indoor and outdoor temperatures.
915 MHz RECEPTION
The Temperature 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 t emperature station or transmitter 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 Temperature 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 transmitter or Tempera ture station, as the batteries may spring free from the co ntacts
and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up
above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The maximum transmission range is 330 feet (TBC) (100 m- TBC) from the transmitter to
the Temperature station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding
environment and interference leve ls. I f no recepti on is po s sibl e despite the observation of
these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Settin g up).
MOUNTING
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
The Temperature Station has been designed to be hung onto wall or free standing.
13
To wall mount
Free standing
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 th e by about 5mm.
2. Remove the stand from the Temperature Station by pulling it
away from the base and hang the station onto the screw.
Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.
With the detachable stand, the temperature station can be placed
onto any flat surface.
14
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
To wall mount:
The Transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall
with the two screws supplied. The Transmitter can also be position on a
flat surface by securing th e stand to the bottom to the Transmitter.
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and
plastic anchors.
2. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the bracket.
Note:
Before permanently fixing the transmitter 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
15
transmitters 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.
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.
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace
only with new batteries of the recommended type.
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.
Do not expose the unit s to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead
to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
