GETTING STARTED :

It is recommended to set up the remote temperature sensor before setting up the weather station/clock.
See ”Configuring Remote Temperature Sensor(s)” below for more information.

INSTALLING A/C ADAPTER :

1. Remove all ”AAA” batteries before plugging in A/C-D/C adapter. See instructins below.

2. Plug in A/C-D/C adapter to the D/C input jack (11)

BATTERIES INSTALLATION :

1. Open battery compartment (10) at the back of the unit. (see figure 2)

2. Install/replace with 3x”AAA” size batteries in the compartment. It is recommended that only
alkaline batteries are used.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover (10) at the back of the unit.

4. A short bleep will be heard to confirm proper installation of batteries.

BATTERIES SAFETY WARNING :

1. Please read all instructions carefully before use.

2. Install batteries correctly by matching the polarities (+/-).

3. Always replace a complete set of batteries.

4. Never mix used and new batteries.

5. Remove spent batteries immediately

6. Remove batteries when not in use.

7. Do not recharge and do not dispose of batteries in a fire as the batteries may explode.

8. Ensure batteries are stored away from metal objects as contact may cause a short circuit.

9. Avoid exposing batteries to high temperatures, humidity or to direct sunlight.

SETTING UP THE WEATHER STATION :

The weather station will bleep once when batteries are installed or the AC/DC adapter is plugged in.

1. The double digits will flash showing the level of your location above sea level will be seen at the
bottom right hand corner of the display. Press”+/C/F” button (4) or ”-/RCC” button (8) to change
your unit location level above sea level. The sea level units are in meters (1 meter equals
approximately 3.28 feet). Contact your local weather bureau or authorities for more information if
required.

2. Press ”HISTORY” button (5) to confirm location of the unit above sea level.

3. Press ”+/C/F” button (4) or ”-/RCC” button (8) to change the current weather situation of your
location. See figure 3 below for the weather pattern that best resembles your immediate area.

Figure 3

4. Press ”HISTORY” Button (5) to confirm weather pattern.

INTERPRETING THE WEATHER FORECAST SYMBOLS :

1. The weather station requires at least 24 hours to acclimatise to local weather conditions. The
weather station will process and analyse the weather patterns of the past 24 hours in order to
determine the future weather. The predicted weather forecast may not accurately reflect the actual
weather for your immediate area till 24 hours have elapsed.

2. The weather station will display the symbols (see figure 3) to indicate the predicated weather
forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours for an area within a radius of approximately 30-50 km.

Note :

1. The weather forecast is only for re ference and only for domestic use. Do NOT rely on the weathe r
station for a forecast for any serious matter including but not limited to : personal health, any
business or financial decisions, and/or agricultural planning. And certainly NOT for life and death
situations.

2. The weather forecast does not display the current weather. It displays future weather situation.

ADJUSTING THE WEATHER STATION :

1. Press ”HISTORY” button (5) for 3 seconds until a bleep is heard.

2. Press ”+/C/F” button (4) or ”-/RCC” button (8) to select between atmospheric pressure units of
pascal (hPa) to inch of mercury (inHg)

3. Press ”HISTORY” button (5) to confirm.

4. Press ”+/C/F” button (4) or ”-/RC C” button (8) to select between absolute and relative atmospheri c
pressure.

5. Press ”HISTORY” button (5) to confirm.

6. Press ”+/C/F” button (4) or ”-/RCC” button (8) to change your unit location level above sea level.

7. Press ”HISTORY” button (5) to confirm unit location level above sea level.

8. Press ”+/C/F” button (4) or ”-/RCC” button (8) to change the current weather situation for your
location. See figure 3 above for the weather pattern that best resembles your immediate area.

BAROMETER :

The unit takes approximately 24 hours to process and analyse the recorded barometric pressure data.
Prior to 24 hours, the pressure trend and weather forecasts may not reflect actual weather forecast for
your area.

Rising(up) Falling (down)

READING PRESSURE TREND :

Recorded memory of the barometric pressure changes are displayed with 3 arrows to show pressure
trend.

Note : It is only possible to measure the barometric pressure trend properly when the unit remains at
the same altitude location. When moving around at different altitudes within a short period of time, the
air pressure and the barometric pressure will change. The pressure trend will only be correct and
regular if the unit remains at a constant location altitude for 24 hours or more.

TO RECALL RECORDED PRESSURE HISTORY READING :

The barometric pressure reading is recorded in hourly intervals and can be recalled and displayed for
the previous 12 hours. Press ”History” button (5) repeatedly to view pressure recorded for t he past
hours. ”-1 HR” indicates the pressure of the previous hour. The pressure reading history will appear
for 20 seconds before the current pressure reading returns.

TO SYNCHRONISE CLOCK WITH RCC :

1. Where available, the clock will automatically synchronise with the radio control towers at the
following time : 02:03, 03:03, 04:03, 05:03.

2. User may also manually synchronise the clock by following the instructions below.

3. Hold down the ”-/RCC” button (8) for approximately 3 seconds until symbol
