USER’S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the BAR888 Weather Forecast Multi-Channel In-Out Thermometer with 433MHz cable free sensor and radio-controlled calendar clock.

The basic package comes with a main unit (which is the barometer, temperature and calendar clock station), and a remote unit (the thermo sensor).

The main unit has large read-outs for weather forecast, indoors temperature, calendar clock and temperatures collected and transmitted by the remote unit. The main unit can support up to three remote units.

The main unit is capable of keeping track of the maximum and minimum temperature of different sites. And no wire installation is required. As the BAR888 operates at 433MHz, it can be used in the U.S. and most places in Continental Europe.

As for the calendar clock, it is radio-controlled. It automatically synchronizes its current time and date when it is brought within an approximate 1500km radius of the radio signal generated from Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77).

You can also set the calendar clock manually when it is off range. Other features include four-language display, four-step crescendo dual alarms and interchangeable display modes.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

For best operation,

1. Assign different channels to different remote units.

2. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main unit.

3. Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit, reset the main unit after installing batteries. This will ensure easier synchronization between the transmission and reception of signals.

4. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is 20 to 30 meters.

Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building materials and where the main and remote units are positioned. Try various set-ups for best result.

Though the remote units are weather proof, they should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.
