BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1. We recommend using alkaline batteries for the main unit
and remote sensor.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
MAIN UNIT
2. Avoid using rechargeable batteries.
3. Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity as
shown in the battery compartment.
1. Open the battery compartment door.
2. Install two batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) matching
the polarity as shown in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
4. Always install batteries in the remote sensor before the
main unit.
5. Press RESET after each battery change, using a paper clip
or similar tool.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
6. During an initial setup, place the main unit as close as
possible to the remote sensor.
A low-battery indicator [
] will appear on the indoor or
remote temperature reading line of the main unit warning that
the corresponding batteries need replacement.
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.
HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND
The main unit has a removable table stand, which supports
the unit on the flat surface. The main unit can also be
mounted on the wall using the recessed screw hole.
The stand must be removed prior to mounting. The remote
sensor can be similarly mounted or placed on a flat surface.
NOTE:
1. Avoid setting the time and date on the main unit before the
outdoor temperature is displayed.
2. The effective operating range may be influenced by the
surrounding building materials and how the receiver and
transmitter are positioned.
GETTING STARTED
3. Position the remote sensor so that it faces the main unit
(receiver), minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
After batteries are installed, remote sensors will transmit
temperature readings at 45 second intervals. The main unit
may take up to 2 (two) minutes to receive the initial readings.
Upon successful reception, remote temperature will be
displayed. Then the main unit will automatically update
readings at 45-second intervals.
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.

Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet minimum
distance from any interference source such as a TV,
computer monitor, microwave, etc. The successful reception
of the atomic time signal depends on the positioning and
location of the clock. Always place the main unit by the
window for better reception.
CHECKING REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURES
The wave icon on the main unit's display located near the
remote sensor reading line, indicates a good reception from
the remote sensor. If the temperature goes above or below the
temperature operating range stated in specifications, the
display will show dashes “
”
READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the main unit (receiver)
signal reception strength.
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.
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
The maximum and minimum records of the indoor/outdoor
temperature and humidity 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 of MEM button. The unit will return to the
current temperature display in 15 seconds.
Temperature readings
securely registered.
˚F
No signals.
To clear the memory, press and hold MEM button and
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 Weather Forecaster
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.

COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS
The comfort level indicators COM, WET or DRY will tell
you if the current environment is comfortable, too wet or
too dry. The comfort indicators will appear on the display
of the main unit when the following conditions are satisfied:
*
During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are
typically less severe and reception may improve.
A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep
the accuracy reading within 1 second.
