INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Lexibook®SM1100 weather station with its
integrated forecasting facility.
The station will provide you with the following information:
" the time; " weather forecasts in the form of icons; " inside and outside temperatures; " the outside humidity as a percentage; " minimum and maximum day temperatures; " warnings if the humidity reaches certain levels or temperature limits are
exceeded.
The outside temperature and humidity are recorded using a 434-MHz wireless thermal sensor. No cable connection is needed. The Lexibook®SM1100 weather station can accommodate up to four remote sensors. One sensor is provided with the product.
Please read all the instructions carefully so that you fully understand your weather station’s functions.
The Lexibook®SM1100 model is equipped with a liquid crystal display. During use, this display may appear defective, especially if you are using the weather station for the first time or moving it. If this occurs, place the weather station flat on a table for ten minutes. This will allow the liquid crystals to fill up any empty spaces.
PLEASE BE SURE YOU INSERT BATTERIES INTO THE REMOTE UNIT BEFORE YOU INSERT BATTERIES INTO THE MAIN UNIT.

The remote unit functions on two “AAA” batteries. To insert or replace these batteries, follow these steps:
1. Remove the stand with the handle.
2. Loosen the screw at the back of the compartment and remove the lid.
3. Insert the alkaline batteries, taking care to follow the polarity indications.
4. Replace the lid on the unit and secure it by tightening the screw firmly.
5. If the “battery low” indicator flashes on the LCD, you must replace the batteries.
6. The unit is now ready to receive the telecode and house code. (Please refer to the section on CONFIGURING THE TRANSMITTER OR REMOTE TRANSMITTERS).
IF THE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW -18°C (0°F), THE BATTERY IN THE REMOTE UNIT IS LIABLE TO FREEZE. IN THESE CONDITIONS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU BRING THE REMOTE UNIT INDOORS. THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL YOU THE FREEZING POINT OF THE BATTERY.
The main unit functions on two “AA” batteries. To insert or replace these batteries, follow these steps:
1. Remove the cover from the back of the unit.
2. Insert the batteries, taking care to follow their polarity.
3. Replace the cover.
4. Once the batteries have been inserted, the main unit enters “receive” mode in order to memorise the telecode. When the frame around the telecode flashes, it means that memorisation is in progress; this will take between three and five minutes. The main unit will then update the temperature and humidity being read by the remote unit.
On a smooth surface, use the handle attached to the transmitter. The quality of the surface may however alter the range of the data transmission. If, for example, the transmitter is placed on a metal surface, the range may be reduced or increased as a result. For this reason, it is not a good idea to install the transmitter on a metal surface or anywhere in the vicinity of a large metal surface. Before determining the position of the transmitter, ensure that the main unit can receive the signals sent by the transmitter.
