II. Start Up Sequence
A. Initial Start
1. Immediately after the batteries have been installed, the Wireless Weather Station will sound a "beep",
and the LCD will completely light up for a brief moment.
2. All information will then appear in normal mode, with "12:00" as the default time and "SA.1" as the
default date (2006 as the year).
3. The indoor temperature and humidity, and barometric air pressure (as 29.92 inHg) will also be
displayed.
4. There is a "satellite" icon that appears in the bottom portion of the LCD, between the outdoor tem-
perature and humidity - this icon informs the user that the indoor weather station is looking for
signals from the remote thermo/hygro sensor. Within five minutes the remote temperature and
humidity should be displayed-if not, remove batteries from all units and repeat battery installation,
the remote thermo/hygro sensor first, then the Wireless Weather Station.
B. WWVB Reception
1. Once the batteries are installed in the Weather Station, it will automatically search for the WWVB
signal. If it receives a good signal (which is unlikely during daylight hours in most locations), the
WWVB reception indicator (looks like a tower icon) will flash. The Wireless Weather Station requires
five full minutes of good reception to successfully capture the signal and set to the correct hour,
minute, second, month, day and year. If the signal reception is not successful within ten minutes,
the signal search will be cancelled. Next reception will take place the next day.
2. The signal is sent from Ft. Collins, Colorado only and is similar to an AM radio signal. Atmospheric
interferences such as storms, sunspots, and even sunlight will cause the signal to not travel as far.
3. To maximize reception, place the Wireless Weather Station in a window facing Colorado, at least six
feet from any electrical source (computers, televisions, refrigerators, etc.). Do not move the Wire-
less Weather Station while it is searching for the signal.
4. The time and date can be manually set. Once the signal is captured, it will override any time and
date set to the time zone selected.
5. Once the time and date are set, the indoor weather station will conduct a search every night be-
tween midnight and 6:00 a.m and correct to the accurate time and date (Daylight Saving Time is
automatic). If the signal has been received in the past 24 hours, the reception indicator will be
displayed. After a successful reception, no more reception attempt would be made until the follow-
ing day.

IV. Function Key Layout
A. The below picture shows the six function keys used in programming and operation of your indoor
weather station
V. Program Mode
The program mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each function separately, or you
can follow the instructions entirely to program the Wireless Weather Station. Complete programming is
usually done for the initial set-up, and will require you to skip step 1,2 and 3 of each programming
section. The programming mode can be exited at any time by either pressing the "Snooze/CH" button,
or waiting for the 15-second time-out to take effect.
