INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Wireless Weather Forecaster. This device combines precise time keeping, monitoring and displaying of current temperature and humidity data from up to three remote locations. In this package you will find: • One main unit (receiver) •...
INSTALLATION The communication between the main unit (receiver) and the remote sensor (transmitter) is wireless, making it easy for installation. The remote temperature sensor transmits data to the main unit, with an operating range of up to 100 feet (30 meters) in an open area. The remote temperature sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors, depending on the area where the temperature is intended to be measured.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN • We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote sensor and the main unit. When outdoor temperatures are below 0°C (32°F), it is recommended to use lithium batteries. • Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements.) •...

REMOTE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSOR FEATURES • Remote data transmission to the main unit via 433 MHz frequency • Selection of the temperature unit in Celcius or Fahrenheit (default setting is Fahrenheit) • Three transmission channels • Can be wall mounted using built-in hanger A.
BATTERY INSTALLATION When the temperature falls below freezing point 0˚C (32 ˚F), battery voltage levels will be dropped and this may reduce the transmission range. For optimum performance, we recommend using lithium batteries. NOTE: Install the batteries and select the channel before mounting the remote sensor.

PLACEMENT • The remote sensor should be placed under eaves or a similar location with free air circulation sheltered from direct sunlight and extreme weather. • Ideally, place the remote sensor over soil, rather than asphalt which would cause false readings. •...
MAIN UNIT The main unit measures weather forecast, indoor and outdoor temperature/humidity and receives atomic time data from the US WWVB Atomic Clock and temperature readings from up to three remote sensors. It should be placed indoors. FEATURES TIME • Precise time and date set via signals from the US Atomic clock •...

CLOCK WINDOW • During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second. • Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.
MANUAL SETTINGS To select the time mode, press UP (▲) or DOWN (▼) until the IN icon flashes with a beep sound alert. It is necessary to set the desired US TIME ZONE. TIME ZONE • Press MODE button once to select hour and minutes with the day of the week display.
CLOCK ALARMS There are two time alarms – Weekday alarm (W) and Single day alarm(S) - and one Ice Warning Alarm (PRE-AL). • If Weekday (W) alarm is activated, it will sound at the set time and the alarm icon will flash Monday through Friday. •...

CLOCK ALARMS SETTING THE ICE WARNING ALARM (PRE-AL) If Weekday (W) or Single day (S) alarm is set, the Ice Warning Alarm (Pre-AL) can be programmed. • Press ALARM button once to enter into the Ice Warning Alarm setting mode. The abbreviation OFF with a PRE-AL next to it will be displayed.
MAINTENANCE CHANGING BATTERIES • If the low battery indicator lights up, replace batteries in the corresponding unit. • Do not mix old and batteries. CLEANING The main unit and remote sensor housing can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Small parts can be cleaned with a cotton tip or pipe-cleaner.
