3.4 Important Usage Information
● In order to get the full screen brightness and easy visibility of all numbers and symbols,
we recommend you use the included mains adaptor rather than batteries for the main
unit.
● The remote sensor will work better if the main unit is powered by the included mains
adaptor rather than batteries.
● Regarding the wireless remote sensor (which can be positioned indoors or outdoors),
if it is used outside particularly in cold conditions we recommend the use of Lithium AA
(requires 2) batteries as this will result in a more powerful signal and ensure no signal
loss. This is only precautionary advice and the remote sensor does work ne with normal
Alkaline batteries.
● The weather station needs to be powered for 12 hours before an accurate prediction will
display.
3.5 Initial Operation
● Either connect the mains power or open the Weather Station Battery compartment
and insert 2 x AA batteries observing the correct polarity (+ and - marks), then close the
battery compartment.
● When the power is connected all the icons on the LCD display will light up for 3 seconds,
you will hear a beep tone and the weather station will start to detect the indoor
temperature and humidity.
● The weather station will automatically search for the time via the WWVB antenna within
7 minutes of powering on.
● Next the Weather Station will attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor. This lasts
approximately 3 minutes and is displayed by the RF icon ashing.
● Remove the battery compartment on the Wireless Outdoor Sensor, insert 2 x
AA batteries observing the correct polarity (+ and - marks) and close the battery
compartment.
● Once the weather station has created a connection to the outdoor sensor on the clock
you will see the temperature displayed under the Outdoor Icon.
● If Weather Station fails to receive a transmission from the outdoor sensor (“- -”
is displayed on the LCD), press and hold the CH button for 3 seconds to receive
transmission manually.
● The RF icon will ash on the LCD and the outdoor temperature will show when it is
connected.
3.6 Backlight
● When using battery power the backlight will be o. Press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button to
enable the backlight for 15 seconds.
● When using Mains power the backlight will be lit continuously. To change the brightness
of the backlight press the SET button.
4. AUTOMATIC TIME AND CALENDAR SETTING
4.1 Automatic Time/Date Setting
● The Weather Station automatically starts the WWVB Signal search after 7 minutes of any
restart or change of batteries.
● To manually start the WWVB signal search, press and hold down the WAVE button for 2
seconds.
● The radio mast icon will ash showing it is searching for signal.
● Once the signal is found the Time and Date will be automatically set. If no signal is
found within 7 minutes the radio mast icon will disappear and it will automatically start
searching again in 1 hour.
4.2 Automatic Time/Date Further Information
● During the WWVB signal search mode, the SNOOZE/LIGHT button will only brighten
the screen from its dimmed mode whilst searching for the WWVB signal and the WAVE
button will cancel the WWVB signal search. A ashing radio mast icon indicates that the
WWVB signal search is in progress. To cancel the WWVB signal search, press the WAVE
button once.
● A continuously displayed radio mast icon indicates that the WWVB signal has been
received successfully.
● At 1:00 / 2:00 / 3:00am the Weather Station automatically carries out a synchronization
procedure with the WWVB signal to correct any deviations to the exact time. If this
synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (The radio mast symbol disappears from the
display), the system will automatically attempt another synchronization at the next full
hour. This procedure is repeated automatically up to 5 times.
● If the clock cannot receive the WWVB signal, you have the option of setting the time
manually and instructions can be found on page 7. As soon as the reception of the
WWVB signal is received the Weather Station is re-adjusted automatically.
● We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters (8.2 Feet) to all sources of
interference, such as televisions or computer monitors.
● Radio reception can be weaker in rooms with concrete walls and in oces. In such
extreme circumstances, place the system close to the window for better signal reception.
