IMPORTANT:  
Note: If the WWVB tower icon flashes on the top left of the LCD, but does not set the time  
Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as  
described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the  
batteries from all units and start the setup again from step 1.  
or the tower does not appear at all, then please note the following:  
Recommended distance from any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV  
sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters).  
Note: Daily WWVB reception (Atomic time) is attempted at the top of each hour between  
12:00 am to 6:00 am. If the reception is successful, there is no reception attempt until the  
following day. When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time.  
The date is also updated with the received time. (Please also refer to the notes on “WWVB  
Radio Controlled time” and “Manual Time Setting”)  
With ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is  
naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or  
point its front or back towards the Fort Collins, Colorado transmitter.  
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception  
is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy  
deviation below 1 second.  
In case the Weather Station is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances,  
transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set (please refer to the notes on  
Manual time setting).  
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME  
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology – Time and Frequency Division  
WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact 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 Wireless Weather Station. However, due to  
the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The  
Wireless Weather Station will search for a signal every night when 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 every day,  
to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an  
international standard, measuring a second as 9.192.631.770 vibrations of a Cesium-133  
atom in a vacuum. This atomic clock regulates the WWVB transmitter.  
INSTALL OR REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION  
The Weather Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install or replace the  
batteries, please follow the steps below:  
1.  
2.  
Remove the cover at the back of the Weather Station.

For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update  
accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means  
either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather  
Station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no  
change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon)  
since the icons are already at their extremes.

The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not  
necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is  
cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it  
is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected  
to get worse but not necessarily rainy.  
Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48-  
60 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to collect air pressure data at  
a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.  
78.8F

Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather  
forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying  
areas the Weather Station has been designed for use in. In areas that experience sudden  
changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather Station will be more  
accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for  
example mostly sunny).

If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial  
standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), remove the  
batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will  
not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due  
to the slight change of altitude. Again, disregard weather forecasts for the next 48-60 hours  
as this will allow time for operation at a constant altitude.

means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when  
indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to  
become worse.  
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE:  
The last LCD section shows the outdoor temperature, a reception symbol and a channel  
Therefore, user may see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For  
example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloudy icons, it means that the  
last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sunny icon only).  
Therefore, the next change in the weather will be the cloudy icons since the indicator is  
pointing downwards.

The transmission range is about 330 feet (100 m) from the transmitter to the Weather  
Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and  
interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all  
system units have to be reset (see Setting up).  
TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:  
The range of the Temperature transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold  
temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when  
placing the transmitter.  
915 MHz RECEPTION  
Note: Sensor must be outside to transmit outdoor temperature. The sensor reads data from  
If the outdoor temperature data is not being received within 5 minutes after setting up (the  
display shows ‘’ - -. - F’’ on the outdoor section for a long time during normal operation) please  
check the following items:  
the environment it is currently in.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
The distance of the Weather Station or transmitter should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet  
away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.  
Avoid positioning the Weather Station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal  
window frames.  
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the  
same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and  
reception.  
POSITIONING  
TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:  
The Transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a  
wall with the two screws supplied. The Transmitter can also be  
position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the  
Transmitter.  
4.  
Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also  
cause interference.  
Note: When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of  
either the transmitter or Weather Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts  
and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up  
above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:  
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic  
anchors.  
2. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the bracket.  
Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause  
damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.  
Precautions shall be taken when handling the batteries. Injuries, burns, or property  
damage may be resulted if the batteries are in contact with conducting materials, heat,  
corrosive materials or explosives. The batteries shall be taken out from the unit before  
the product is to be stored for a long period of time.  
Note:  
Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the  
desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is  
receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the  
transmitters or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.  
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace  
only with new batteries of the recommended type.  
When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use  
solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.  
Do not submerge the unit in water.  
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:  
Special care shall be taken when handling a damaged LCD display. The liquid crystals  
can be harmful to user's health.  
The Weather Station comes complete with a foldout stand that gives the  
option of table standing or wall mounting.  
Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of  
purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may  
invalidate their guarantee.  
To wall mount:  
1.  
Fix a screw into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out  
Never touch the exposed electronic circuit of the device as there is a danger of electric  
shock should it becomes exposed.  
Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead  
to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
