Base Unit Remote Sensor
Table Stand
Base unit location –
Place the unit indoors in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight.
Remote sensor location –
The transmission range of the remote sensor is 100 feet.The effective
transmission range is vastly affected by obstacles such as walls, sheds,
trees,etc.Try various set ups for the best results. Shorten the distance
between receiver and remote units when necessary. Place indoor in a
well ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Place the sensor in
a dry, shaded area. Direct sunlight will heat the casing and inflate temperatures readings.
Important: Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be
placed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and should never be submerged in water.
A maximum of 3 remote sensor units can be registered. One
remote sensor is included.To purchase additional Remote
Sensors (Taylor model 1536), please visit www.partshelf.com.

Atomic Clock and Calendar
Your WeatherGuide™ has a radio-controlled clock/calendar that sets
itself to the radio signal transmitted by the U.S.Atomic Clock located
in Colorado.To synchronize the atomic clock:
1. Press and hold the “-PMCE/RCC”
button on the back of the base unit.The
Press and hold -PMCE/RCC to
synchronize atomic clock. Release
when unit beeps.
unit will beep.The antenna icon will
flash on the screen.
Please note: reception may take
2-10 minutes.
Steady Icon = Atomic clock
synchronized
(may take up to 24 hours to
capture signal).
2. When the icon is steady, the
Atomic Clock has been successfully
synchronized.
3. Choose your time zone by pressing the
“PMCE/RCC” button.
Press PMCE/RCC to choose
time zone.
Please note: If the icon disappears, the Atomic time signal is not
available at the moment.Try another location later away from possible
sources of interference,such as mobile phones, appliances, computers,
refrigerators,TVs, etc. Daytime conditions such as sunlight and other
atmospheric interferences can affect synchronization; try setting the
clock during evening hours.Please note:if the signal is weak, it may take
up to 24 hours for the atomic clock to establish a connection. In the
meantime, the clock may be manually set. Once the atomic signal is
found, it will override the manually programmed time and date.
The Atomic Clock will have a daily synchronization at 2:05 am Pacific
Time every day. Each reception cycle is 2.5 minutes minimum and 10
minutes maximum.
