SETTING UP:
When one sensor is to be used
1. First, insert the batteries into the thermo-hygro sensor. (see “Install and replace
batteries in the thermo-hygro 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 "Oscar
Outlook" 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 into the sensor, the Weather Station will start receiving data
from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity 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.
10
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”).
When more than one sensor is to be used
1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Weather Station and sensors and wait 60
seconds if setting has been done with one sensor before.
2. Insert the batteries to the first sensor.
3. Within 30 seconds of powering up the first sensor, insert the batteries to the Weather
Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly.
Following time as 12:00 and the Oscar Outlook icon will be displayed. If they are not shown
in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 secon ds before
reinserting them.
4. The outdoor temperature and humidity from the first sensor (channel 1) should then be
11
displayed on the Weather Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this
does not happen 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 Weather Station.
Note: User shall insert the batteries into the second sensor within 30 seconds of reception of the
first .
6. The outdoor temperature and humidity 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
12
sensor is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from
step 1.
User shall insert the batteries into the third sensor within 30 seconds of reception of the
Note:
second sensor.
8. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be no more than 330 feet
(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
successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for resynchronization.
13
IMPORTANT:
Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described
above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the b atteries from all units
and start again the set-up from step 1.
9. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Weather Station, the
Atomic time (WWVB time) code reception is automatically started. This takes typically
between 3-5 minutes in good conditions.
Note:
•
If after 10 minutes, the Atomic Time (WWVB) time has not been received, press the SET
key to manually enter a time initially.
•
Daily WWVB reception (Atomic time) is attempted at full hour between 12:00 am to 6:00
am. If the reception is successful, there will no reception attempt until the following day.
When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is
14
also updated with the received time. (Please refer also to notes on “Atomic time WWVB Radio controlled Time” and “Manual Time Setting”)

ATOMIC TIME FUNCTION - WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division)
WWVB radio station 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 Wireless Weather Station. However, due to the
nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Wireless
Weather Station will search for a signal every night when reception is best.
The WWVB radio station receives the time data 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,
24
measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more
detail, visit http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.htm. To listen to the NIST time, call (303)499-
7111. This number will connect you to an automated time, announced at the top of the minute in
“Coordinated Universal Time”, which is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time
does not follow Daylight Saving Time changes. After the top of the minute, a tone will sound for
every second. It is possible that your Wireless Weather Station may not be exactly on the second
due to the variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the course
of several days to be very accurate; under 0.10 seconds per day

WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY:
The weather forecast icons (Oscar Outlook):
One of the 15 different weather icons (featuring Oscar Outlook with different clothing) is displayed
in the centre of LCD, which indicates the different forecast weather condition due to air pressure
level (Sunny, Sunny + Cloudy or Cloudy + Rainy) and the current outdoor temperature
(Temperature value detected by Channel 1):
38
Sunny
≥ 78.8°F
(26°C)

(10 to 18.9°C)
)
32 to 49.8°F
(0 to 9.9°C)
< 32°F (0°C)
41
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48-60 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 e xperi ence 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).
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 re-insert 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
42
slight change of altitude. Again, disregard weather forecasts for the ne xt 48 to 60 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 Oscar Outlook). 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.
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:
43
Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pre ssure, it will remain
permanently visualized on the LCD.

915 MHz RECEPTION
The Weather Station should receive the temperature data within 15 minutes after set-up. If the
temperature data is not received 15 minutes after setting up (not successfully continuously, the
outdoor display shows “- - -” ), please check the following points:
53
1. The distance of the Weather Station or sensor should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet (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. Neighbors 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 happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise
transmission problems may occur.
54
The transmission range is about 330 feet (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.
55
2. Remove the stand from the Weather 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.
Free standing
With the foldout stand, the Weather Station can be placed onto any flat

56
POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO 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.
57
To wall mount:
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic
anchors.
2. Clip the remote thermo-hygro sensor onto the bracket.
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.
58
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
