Warranty Information ......................24 1 Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather WS-2801 Wireless Color Weather Station. The following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation and troubleshooting.

Calibrate Barometer 4.2 and 4.6 3 Getting Started The WS-2801 weather station consists of a display console (receiver), thermos-hygrometer sensor and AC adapter. Note: The power up sequence must be performed in the order shown in this section (remote transmitter first, display console second) to properly synchronize the remote sensor to the console. -

BEFORE inserting the batteries, switch the channel switch to the appropriate channel. If you have one sensor, set the switch to Channel 1. If you have two sensors, set the second sensor to Channel 2. If you own three sensors, set the third sensor to Channel 3. 2.

The remote search icon will turn on： Do not touch any buttons until the remote sensor reports in, otherwise the remote sensor search mode will be terminated and the search icon will turn off. -

3.6 Sensor Placement It is recommended you mount the remote sensor outside on a north facing wall, in a shaded area, at a height at or above the receiver. If a north facing wall is not possible, choose a shaded area, under an eve. -

4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a clear line of sight. The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below. - Page 11 Command Function Description Settings SET/CH + BEEP Turns on or off the beep Press TEMP/+ or BARO/- to toggle 2 seconds with each keystroke OFF and ON SET/CH Reset max/min daily at Press TEMP/+ or BARO/- to toggle 12:00am (on) or manually OFF and ON (off) SET/CH...

seconds for the timeout to take effect. 4.2.2 Relative Pressure Calibration You will want to calculate your barometric pressure to an official reporting station in your area. Since barometric pressure does not drastically change in a 50 mile radius (unless the weather is rapidly changing), this method of calibration is acceptable. -

Note: The absolute pressure offset will also affect the relative pressure. To adjust the relative pressure, only (independent of the absolute pressure), reference Section 4.1. Normally, you would not calibrate the absolute pressure because it is difficult to obtain a calibrated source. -
Page 18: Weather Forecasting
4.8.2 Weather Forecasting The five weather icons are Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy and Stormy. The forecast icon is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. Please allow at least one month for the weather station to learn the barometric pressure over time. Sunny Partly Cloudy Cloudy... -
