We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates. We do not recommend rechargeable batteries. They have lower voltages, do not operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long, resulting in poorer reception. Replace the battery door and set screw. -
Page 5: Radio Controlled Clock (Rcc)
2.4.1 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC) If your console is equipped with the Radio Controlled Clock (RCC), the icon WWVB will appear above the time. WWVB is the NIST time signal radio station near Fort Collins, Colorado. The RCC is received by the wireless transmitter, and passed to the console. After the remote sensor is powered up, the sensor will transmit weather data for 30 seconds, and then the sensor will begin radio controlled clock (RCC) reception. -

Page 7: Wireless Reception Considerations
Figure 4 Note: Make sure the sensor is mounted vertically and not lying down on a flat surface. This will insure optimum reception. 3.2 Wireless Reception Considerations Wireless signals are impacted by distance, interference (other weather stations, wireless phones, wireless routers, TVs and computer monitors), and transmission barriers, such as walls. In general, wireless signals will not penetrate solid metal and earth (down a hill, for example). -

units from Celsius to Fahrenheit. 10. Indoor Temperature Calibration (default is measured indoor temperature). Press the SET key to adjust the indoor temperature. Press the + key or MIN/MAX key to adjust the temperature up or down in 0.1 degC (0.18 degF) increments. To view the uncalibrated value, press the ALARM key while the temperature is flashing. -
Page 11: Setting Calibrated Humidity
The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level). To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. -

thermometer. Bi-metal (dial) and other digital thermometers are not a good source and have their own margin of error. Using a local weather station in your area is also a poor source due to changes in location, timing (airport weather stations are only updated once per hour) and possible calibration errors (many official weather stations are not properly installed and calibrated). -
Page 13: Cancelling The Alarm
In the alarm mode, Press the + key or MIN/MAX key to change or scroll the alarm value. Hold the + key or MIN/MAX key for 3 seconds to change the number rapidly. Press the ALARM key to select the alarm on or off (if alarm is enabled, the speaker icon on the LCD will be turned on indicating the alarm function has been enabled). -

Page 15: Weather Icons
4.5.3 Weather Icons Sunny Partly Cloudy Cloudy Rainy The four weather icons are Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rainy. There are also two weather tendency indicators to show the air pressure tendency between the weather icons. 4.5.4 Weather tendency indicator The weather tendency arrow is located between the weather icons to show the air pressure tendency and provide a forecast based on increasing or decreasing air pressure. -
Page 16: Storm Threshold Indicator
4.5.5 Storm threshold indicator The storm threshold (the negative rate of pressure change signifying a storm is expected) can be adjusted by the user from level 3 to level 9 (the default level 4 mbar/hour). When negative rate of change of pressure is exceeded for 3 hours, the storm warning indicator will be activated, and the clouds with rain icon and tendency arrows will flash for 3 hours indicating the storm warning feature has been activated. -

Accuracy Accuracy is defined as the ability of a measurement to match the actual value of the quantity being measured. HectoPascals (hPa) Pressure units in SI (international system) units of measurement. Same as millibars (1 hPa = 1 mbar) Hygrometer A hygrometer is a device that measures relative humidity. - Page 18 There are dashes (--) on the display console. will turn on. Wait several minutes for the remote sensor to report in, or the search icon to turn off. If the synchronization fails, reset the console by removing one battery from the display console, wait 10 seconds, and reinsert the battery.
