TROUBLESHOOTING:
Wireless Color Weather Station
Model: 308-145 | Quick Setup Guide
If the Weather Station does not show the outdoor temperature after 3 minutes,
remove the a/c power adapter and all batteries from both units and start the setup
process again.
If the outdoor temperature does not show up after a second attempt, please slide
open the battery cover of the outdoor transmitter to reveal the TX button (which is
under the °C/°F button, push down on the TX button for 3 seconds to send a
wireless signal to the Weather Station.
On the Weather Station, hold the CH button for 3-5 seconds to search for the
transmitter.
For optimal 433 MHz signal reception, the outdoor transmitter should be placed
within 200 feet (60 meters) from the indoor Weather Station.
INTRODUCTION:
The Wireless Color Weather Station features radio-controlled time, weather
forecast, indoor and outdoor temperature/humidity as well as heat index and dew
point, on a stylish, colorful, and easy to read display. Use the integrated USB
charging port to charge your devices when the Weather Station is plugged into a
power outlet.
WIRELESS COLOR WEATHER STATION:
POSITIONING THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR TEMP./HUMIDITY TRANSMITTER
Once the Weather Station shows the outdoor temperature, place it and the
transmitter in the desired locations and wait approximately 1-hour before
permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there is proper reception. The
transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6 feet
from the ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The transmitter is
water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become
submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow.
MONTH: The month will flash. Press and release the +/RCC or -/°C/°F button to
select the correct month. Press the SET button to confirm and move to the next
item.
DATE: The date will flash. Press and release the +/RCC or -/°C/°F button to select
the correct date. Press the SET button to confirm and exit the program menu
Note: The Day of the Week will set automatically when the year, month and date
are set.
FAHRENHEIT/CELSIUS: Press and release the -/°C/°F button once on the
Weather Station, to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
WALL MOUNT
.
Choose a shaded location (under an overhang) for the transmitter that
is within the confirmed wireless reception range of the Weather
Station for accuracy.
AUTO (channel scroll) - AUTO will appear in the outdoor temperature/humidity
area when multiple transmitters are received and the Weather Station is set to scroll
through the channels automatically.
Press and release the CH button repeatedly until the word AUTO shows. The
Weather Station will rotate through all available channels.
Press and release the CH button once to show only one channel continually.
The Weather Station can receive up to 3 outdoor transmitters.
Extra TX14TH-LCD-G transmitters may be found online or at your retailer to monitor
remote temperature and humidity of up to 3 locations within a 200 Ft wireless range
of the Weather Station.
.
.
Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving
approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended.
Place the hanging hole (on the back of the transmitter) onto the
mounting screw and gently slide the transmitter down to secure it.
IMPORTANT: For true temperature and humidity readings, mount the transmitter
out of direct sunlight on a North-facing wall or in any other well shaded area like
under an eave or deck rail. The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200-
feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large
metal objects can reduce the range. Place the transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to
improve signal transmission.
Note: When only one transmitter is connected, you cannot see other channels.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP:
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) WWVB radio station is
located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits the exact WWVB time signal
continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up
to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However,
due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight
hours. The Weather Station will search for a signal every night when reception is
best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic Clock in
Boulder, Colorado.
THE WWVB RECEPTION ICON with full signal strength will appear on
screen if the reception of the WWVB atomic time is successful.
The tower icon is solid: The Weather Station has received the WWVB signal.
No tower icon shows: The Weather Station was unable to receive a signal.
Reposition the Weather Station for better signal reception or try again at bedtime.
The Weather Station will start searching at UTC: 07:00. If there is no reception on
the first attempt, it will try again at 08:00, 09:00, 10:00 and 11:00 for at least 2 to
10 min.
STEP 1: (optional battery operation)
Remove battery cover from the Weather Station: Slide tab to right and pull out to
remove the cover.
Insert 3 NEW AA batteries (not included) into the back of the Weather Station.
Observe the correct polarity (see marking inside the battery compartment).Do
NOT mix old and new batteries.
The Weather Station will light up and
show, indoor temperature, humidity and
channel 1.
