Page 4: Introduction
Introduction The main features of the Wireless Weather Center are as follows: 1. Calculation of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset and moon phase based on selected city location (database includes 245 cities in North America). 2. Radio-controlled time and date (automatic setting and adjustment). 3. -
Page 5: Quick Start
Quick Start 1. Insert 2 AA batteries into the remote transmitter(s). Insert 3 AA batteries into the Weather Center. 2. Wait 6-10 minutes (in ideal reception conditions) for the WWVB time and remote temperature humidity to be displayed. If the WWVB takes longer to set, you may manually set the time (see Setup), or you can wait until after the weather station conducts its programmed search at the ideal reception period of midnight to 6:00 a.m. -
Page 6: Setup
Setup Installing Batteries Batteries will fit tightly. To avoid start-up problems, make sure that the batteries do not spring free. Be sure to insert batteries into the transmitter(s) first, then the Weather Center. Initial setup should be done with the transmitter(s) and weather station in the same room. - Page 7 Setup WWVB Reception Once the batteries are installed in the Weather Center, it will automatically search for the WWVB signal. If it receives a good signal (which is unlikely during daylight hours in most locations), the WWVB reception indicator (tower icon) will flash. The weather station requires five full minutes of good reception to successfully capture the signal and set to the correct hour, minute, second, month, day and year.

Page 20: Mounting
Mounting Before permanently mounting, ensure that the Weather Center is able to receive signals from the transmitters and WWVB signal at the desired location. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting remote transmitters in direct sunlight. We recommend that you mount the transmitter on a north-facing wall or under an eave. -
Page 21: Maintenance And Care
Mounting To mount with tape: 1. Clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface with a nonabrasive solution to ensure a secure hold.

Page 22: Troubleshooting
Maintenance and Care • Do not submerge in water. • Immediately remove all low-powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace with new batteries only. • Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the units. Contact a qualified expert. Troubleshooting Problem: LCD is faint. - Page 23 Troubleshooting Problem: WWVB time and date will not set or update. Solution: 1. Wait overnight for signal to be received. 2. Move Weather Center away from sources of electricity. 3. Place Weather Center in window facing Colorado. 4. The first reception is the most difficult, as the Weather Center needs five con- tinuous minutes of clear signal reception.
