(see “Install andreplace batteries in the Temperature transmitter“).2.Immediately after and within 45 seconds, insert the batteries into Weather Clock(see “Install and replace batteries in the Weather Station”). Once the batteriesare in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as12:00 and the "Weather man" icon will be displayed. If these are not displayedafter 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds beforereinserting them.53.4.5.After inserting the batteries, the Weather Station will start receiving data from thetransmitter. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then bedisplayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, thebatteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, this should undergood conditions be a distance no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between thefinal position of the Weather Station and the transmitter (see notes on“Positioning” and “915 MHz Reception”).Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the WeatherStation, the WWVB time (radio controlled time) code reception is automaticallystarted. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions. If after 10minutes, the WWVB time has not been received, press the SET key to manuallyenter a time initially.When more than one transmitter is used1.User shall remove all the batteries from the Weather Station and transmitters andwait for 60 seconds if setting has been done with one transmitter before.2.Insert the batteries to the first transmitter.3.Within 25 seconds of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries to theWeather Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will lightup briefly. Following time as 12:00 and the Weather man icon will be displayed. Ifthey are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for atleast 60 seconds before reinserting them.4.The outdoor temperature from the first transmitter (channel 1) should then be7Remote transmission of outdoor temperature toWeather Station by MHzWater resistant casingWall mounting case (Mounting at a sheltered place.Avoid direct rain and sunshine)65.displayed on the Weather Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed.If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed fromboth units and reset from step 1.Insert the batteries to the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperaturereadings from the first transmitter are displayed on the Weather Station.Note: User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 10 seconds ofreception of the first transmitter.6.7.The outdoor data from the second transmitter and the "channel 2" icon should thenbe displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minute, thebatteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.Insert the batteries to the third transmitter as soon as the "channel 2" icon andoutdoor data are displayed on the Weather Station. Then within 2 minutes, thechannel 3 outdoor data from the third transmitter will be displayed and the channelicon will shift back to "1" once the third transmitter is successfully received. If thisis not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.Note: User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 10 seconds ofreception of the second transmitter. And user may be required to check the displayed readings on the Weather Stationagainst those shown on the transmitters in order to recognize the Channel No. ofeach transmitter.8

8.9.In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, this should undergood conditions be a distance no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between thefinal position of the Weather Station and the transmitter (see notes on“Positioning” and “915 MHz Reception”).Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the WeatherClock, the WWVB time (radio controlled time) code reception is automaticallystarted. This takes typically between 6-8 minutes in good conditions.IMPORTANT:Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is notfollowed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessaryto remove the batteries from all units and start again the set-up from step 1.Note: If after 10 minutes, the Atomic auto-set time (WWVB time) has not been received,press the SET key to manually enter a time initially. Daily WWVB reception is attempted at full hour between 12:00 am to 6:00 am. Ifthe reception is successful, there will no reception attempt until the following day.When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. Thedate is also updated with the received time. (Please refer also to notes on “WWVBRadio controlled Time” and “Manual Time Setting”).TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURETRANSMITTERThe Temperature Transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V battery.To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:1.Remove the battery compartment cover at the back of thetransmitter.2.Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (seemarking).3.Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit.Note:In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset byfollowing the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assignedby the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the WeatherStation in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it.INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATIONThe Weather Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace thebatteries, please follow the steps below:9101.2.3.Remove the cover at the backof the Weather Station.Insert batteries observing thecorrect polarity (see marking).Replace compartment cover.BATTERY CHANGE:It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensureoptimum accuracy of these units.Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return usedbatteries to an authorized depot.ABOUT WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIMEThe NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and FrequencyDivision) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exacttime signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can bereceived up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the weather projectionstation. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited11during daylight hours. The wireless weather station will search for a signal every nightwhen reception is best.The WWVB radio station receives the time data from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder,Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of everyday, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have createdan international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium133 atom in a vacuum. For more detail, visit http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.htm. Tolisten to the NIST time, call (303)499-7111. This number will connect you to anautomated time, announced at the top of the minute in “Coordinated Universal Time”,which is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time does not follow DaylightSaving Time changes. After the top of the minute, a tone will sound for every second. It ispossible that your wireless weather station may not be exactly on the second due to thevariance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the course ofseveral days to be very accurate; under 0.10 seconds per day.FUNCTION KEYS:Weather station:The Weather station has five easy to use function keys: 2 on the left, 2 on the right, and 1on the top of the unit12
