To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: Remove the battery cover.

  • Page 6: Battery Change

    Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is due to a random security code assigned by the transmitter at start-up. This code must be received and stored by the Weather Projection Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to the transmitter.

  • Page 7: Battery Installation

    BATTERY INSTALLATION: First, insert the batteries into the Weather Projection Station (see “To install and replace batteries in the Weather Projection Station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Then the ALM1 6:00, the indoor temperature and humidity, the time as 12:00, the date as WE 1.1., the moon icon, the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed.
  • Page 8 set-up of the following transmitter. The Weather Projection Station will number the transmitters in the order of set-up, i.e. the first transmitter will have the temperature/humidity displayed with the number 1 against it and so on. With less than 3 transmitters received, the Weather Projection Station will try to pick up the remaining one in approximately another 3 minutes.
  • Page 9 Note: If the batteries are used as the main power source: Projected image brightness, alarm volume and back-light strength will be weaker when batteries are low Battery life time will be much less than 1 year; depending on the frequency of projection and alarm. TO USE THE PROJECTOR POWER ADAPTER The unit comes with an AC-DC adapter for using the projector for an extended period of time, such as throughout the night.
  • Page 10 Connect the AC-DC adapter to a wall socket. Plug the adapter into the jack at the side of the Weather Projection Station. All segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Then the ALM 1 6:00, the indoor temperature and humidity, the time as 12:00, the date as WE 1.1., the moon icon, the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed.
  • Page 11 the first transmitter will have the temperature/humidity displayed with the number 1 against it and so on. With less than 3 transmitters received, the Weather Projection Station will try to pick up the remaining one in approximately another 3 minutes. If 3 transmitters are received, the Weather Projection Station will stop further reception.
  • Page 12 Note: If the Weather Projection Station is powered through the AC-DC adapter, the projection will be constantly ON. If the Weather Projection Station is battery operated, only when the SNOOZE key is pressed, the projection will turn ON. Once the SNOOZE key is released, there will be no projection.
