6. During an initial setup, place the main unit as close as  
possible to the remote sensor.  
7. After reception is established (remote temperature will  
appear on the receiver’s display), position the remote sensor  
and main unit within the effective transmission range of  
100 feet.  
NOTE:  
1. Avoid setting the time and date on the main unit before the

3. Position the remote sensor so that is faces the main unit  
(receiver), minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,  
and furniture.  
Once AC/DC adapter is connected, the Color display will  
toggle (TOGGLE mode) between the following modes:  
4. Though the remote sensors are weather-resistant, they  
should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION  
REMOTE SENSOR  
NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and type of  
temperature (ºC/ºF) before you mount the sensor.  
1. Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a  
small Phillips screwdriver.  
2. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery  
compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if  
only 1 remote sensor is being used.  
3. If you are using more than one sensor, select a different  
channel for each sensor.  
After the AC/DC adapter is connected to the main unit, the  
color LCD will be activated. It will toggle with 10 seconds  
delay between barometric pressure history chart and  
cartoon-animated weather forecast.  
4. Install two “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included)  
matching to the polarities shown in the battery compartment.  
5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.  
6. Secure the remote sensor in the desired location.  
The main unit can be programmed to display just one of  
the above.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION  
MAIN UNIT  
HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND  
1. Open the battery compartment door.  
2. Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) matching  
the polarity as shown in the battery compartment.  
3. Replace the battery compartment door.  
4. Connect the 6V AC/DC adapter to activate  
the Color LCD display.  
The main unit has a removable transparent table stand,  
which supports the unit on the flat surface. The remote sensor  
can be mounted on the wall, using wall-mount recessed hole  
or placed on a flat surface.  
GETTING STARTED  
NOTE: AC/DC adapter should be connected at all times,  
even during the battery replacements, otherwise barometric  
pressure history will be lost.  
After batteries are installed, remote sensor(s) will transmit a  
temperature readings at 45 second intervals. The main unit  
may take up to 2 minutes to receive the initial readings.  
Upon successful reception, remote temperature will be  
displayed. The main unit will automatically update readings  
at 45-second intervals.  
LOW BATTERY WARNING  
A low-battery indicator [  
] will appear on the indoor or  
remote temperature reading line of the main unit warning that  
the corresponding batteries have to be replaced.  
If no signals are received from the remote sensor (s) within  
2 minutes, dashes “

Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office  
buildings, the received signal may be weakened.  
Always place the unit near the window.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM  
The unit is in searching mode.  
TEMPERATURES  
The maximum and minimum record of the indoor and  
remote temperature will be automatically stored in the  
memory of the main unit (receiver). Main unit will display  
the minimum, maximum and the current reading upon each  
press the "CHANNEL" and " " at the same time. The unit  
will return to the current temperature display in 15 seconds.  
To clear the memory, press and hold "CHANNEL" for  
3 seconds and all stored readings will be erased.

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME  
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)  
radio station is located in Ft. Collins Colorado. It transmits  
an exact time signal continuously throughout the continental  
United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Color Weather  
Forecaster with Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer can receive this  
WWVB signal through its internal antenna from up to 2,000  
miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere,  
reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio  
controlled clock will search for an alternate station that derives  
its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.  
TEMPERATURE TRENDS  
The temperature trend indicator shows the trend of  
temperatures collected at particular remote sight. There are  
three trends will be shown: rising, steady, and falling.

During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are

WEATHER FORECAST  
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE HISTORY CHART  
A. Displays barometric pressure history for the past 24 hours  
in chart format.  
The Weather Forecaster is capable of detecting atmospheric  
pressure changes. Based on collected data, it forecasts the  
weather for the next 12 to 24 hours. The weather forecast is  
shown in fun cartoon characters on the main unit's color display.  
B. Displays barometric pressure in numerals inHg,  
mmHg or mb/hPa.

HOW TO SET THE RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK  
1. After the main unit receives temperature readings from  
the remote sensor(s), the WWVB time signal receiver will  
automatically search for the time signal. This takes  
about 5-8 minutes. Always place the main unit by the  
window for better reception.  
LOST COMMUNICATION  
If the main unit display for the remote sensor goes blank,  
press and hold [  
] button for 2 seconds to begin a new  
signal search. If the signal still isn’t received,  
please make sure that:  
1. The remote sensor is in the proper location.  
2. The distance between the main and remote units is not  
over 100 feet,  
2. If the radio signal is received, the date and time will be  
set automatically, and the [  
] icon will appear.  
3. If after 8 minutes the time signal has not been received,  
press the “MODE” button to set the time manually.  
The clock will continue to search for the WWVB time  
signal daily from 1:00 am to 4:30 am.  
3. The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the  
distance between units if necessary.  
4. Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor  
and main units.  
When the signal has been successfully received, the time  
and date will be updated automatically.  
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing, the  
batteries in outdoor remote sensor(s) may have reduced  
voltage supply and a shorter effective range. We recommend to  
CALENDAR AND CLOCK DISPLAY MODES  
The date is displayed in month-date format. Each press of the  
MODE button will change the clock display setting between  
the time with the seconds, and the time with the day of week.  
If everything listed above is in order and there is no reception  
anyway, please perform the following steps:  
1. Bring main unit and remote sensor close together.  
2. Remove 4 small screws from the back of the remote sensor  
and open the battery compartment.

TIME ZONE  
3. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and  
reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor  
LED indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal.  
4. Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall  
them in the same manner.  
1. Select the time zone by pressing and holding the “  
button for 3 seconds.  
2. Keep holding until the desired time zone (Pacific,  
Mountain, Central or Eastern) is selected on the display map.  
3. Press MODE to confirm selected Time Zone  
5. On the main unit select the same channel number as  
set on the remote sensor. Outdoor temperature  
on the display will show that transmission is being  
received successfully .

press MODE for the last time to return to regular mode.  
TRANSMISSION COLLISION  
Signals from other household devices, such as doorbells,  
home security systems, and entry controls, may interfere  
with this product and may cause temporary reception  
failure. This is normal and will not affect the general  
performance of the product. The transmission and reception  
of temperature readings will resume once the interference  
subsides.
