4.
The Weather Forecast Icons will flash. Press and release
the UP or DOWN button to select the forecast icon that
represents your current local weather. Press and release
the SET button to confirm.
5.
The Temperature / Humidity section of the LCD will flash
as the display searches for a signal from the outdoor
transmitter.
Insert 2-AAA alkaline batteries into the outdoor transmitter,
observing the correct polarity (marking inside battery
compartment). Keep the outdoor transmitter 5-10 feet from
the weather station.
Within 3 minutes the weather station will beep and the
outdoor temperature should be displayed on the LCD. If the
outdoor temperature is not displayed after 3 minutes, hold
the SEARCH button on the main unit to search for outdoor
sensor. Then press the TX button on the sensor to send
signal. If it still does not receive the outdoor temperature,
remove AC power and batteries from the receiver, remove
the batteries from the transmitter and go back to step 1 of
the set up.
6.
To ensure sufficient 434 MHz transmission, the outdoor
transmitter should be placed a distance of no more than
200 feet (60 meters, open air) from the weather station.
CHOOSE FAHRENHEIT/CELSIUS:
Weather station: Press and release the C/F button once to
switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
WWVB RECEPTION icon with full signal strength will appear
on screen if the reception of atomic time is successful. The atomic
weather station will have a daily synchronization at 02:03 and
03:03 everyday. Each reception cycle is minimum 2.5 minutes
and maximum 10 minutes.
In normal mode, press the RCC until the reception icon appears
to enforce searching of radio-controlled clock signal. If this icon
disappears afterwards, radio time signal is not available at the
moment.
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like
computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2
meters).
Within 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.
NOTE: In case the atomic weather station is not able to detect the
WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time
can be manually set (please refer to notes TIME SET).
