When changing batteries always change batteries in the main unit as well as all remote units and replace them in the correct order, so the remote connection can be re-established. If batteries are exchanged in only one of the devices (i.e. the remote sensor) the signal can't be received or can't be received correctly.
Note, that the effective range is vastly affected by building materials and position of the main and remote units. Due to external influences (various RC devices and other sources of interference), the maximum distance can be greatly reduced. In such cases we suggest to position the main unit and the remote sensor at other places. Sometimes all it takes is a relocation of one of these components of a few inches!

Low battery warning
When it is time to replace the batteries, the respective low battery indicator will be shown near to the time display (batteries for main unit) or near to the outdoor temperature (batteries for remote sensor).
Remote sensor (Fig. 17-20)
Install the wireless 5-in-1 sensor in an open location with no obstructions above and around the sensor for accurate rain and wind measurement. Install the sensor with the smaller end facing the North to properly orient the wind direction vane.
Add the rubber pads to the rubber pads as shown. Secure the mounting stand and bracket (included) to a post or pole, and allow minimum 1.5m off the ground.

The unit is designed for desktop or wall mount for easy viewing.
Insert the stand so that the pins on the bottom side reach into the indentions of the station.
The triangular notch on the backside of the main station can be used to mount the device on walls with a wall screw (not included).
Once batteries are placed in the remote unit, it will start transmitting temperature readings at roughly 45 second intervals. As soon as batteries are installed in the main unit it will start searching for a signal from the remote sensor for about 3 minutes. Upon successful reception of the signal, the outdoor temperature will be displayed on the main unit. The main unit will automatically update its readings at about 45 second intervals.
Subsequently, the main unit will attempt to receive the DCF radio signal. The reception symbol flashes. When the time signal is received after 3-5 minutes, the current time and date appear in the display. The reception symbol will now be shown permanently in the display. Date and time are automatically updated daily at 2:05 o'clock (CET) by the main unit.
Manual pairing after battery change
Whenever you changed the batteries of the wireless 5-in-1 sensor, pairing must be done manually.
NOTE!
During installation of the wireless 5-in-1 sensor, the sensors were likely to be triggered, resulting in erroneous rainfall and wind measurements. After the installation user may clear all the erroneous data from the main unit without a need to reset the clock and re-establish pairing. Simply press and hold the HISTORY button for 10 seconds. This will clear out any data recorded before.
The unit automatically set itself accordingly to the Radio Controlled Clock signal it received. To set the clock/calendar manually, first disable the reception by holding the RCC button for 8 seconds.

Alarm time setting
NOTE!
Press button twice when alarm time is being displayed will activate the temperature-adjusted pre-alarm (ice-alert). The alarm will sound 30 minutes earlier if it detects outside temperature is below -3°C.
The device contains sensitive pressure sensor built-in with sophisticated and proven software that predicts weather for the next 12 hours.
NOTE!
Atmospheric Pressure is the pressure at any location of the Earth caused by the weight of the column of air above it. One atmospheric pressure refers to the average pressure and gradually decreases as altitude increases. Meteorologists use barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. Since variation in atmospheric pressure greatly affected by weather, it is possible to forecast the weather by measuring the changes in pressure.

Reading wind chill
Press INDEX button several times until WIND CHILL is displayed.
Reading heat index
Press INDEX button several times until HEAT INDEX is displayed.
Heat index | Warning | Meaning |
27°C - 32°C (80°F - 90°F) | Caution | Possibility of heat exhaustion |

Reading dewpoint (indoor)
Press INDEX button several times until INDOOR DEWPOINT is displayed.
NOTE!
The dew point is the temperature below which the water vapor in air at constant barometric pressure condenses into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates. The condensed water is called dew when it forms on a solid surface.
The dewpoint temperature is calculated from the indoor temperature and humidity measured at the main unit.
(all records in the past 24 hours)
The main unit automatically records and displays data of the past 24 hours on the hour.
To check all the history data in the past 24 hours, press the HISTORY button.
E.g. current time 7:25 a.m., Mach 28:
Press HISTORY button repeatedly to view past readings at 7:00am,
6:00am, 5:00am, ..., 5:00am (Mar 27), 6:00am (Mar 27), 7:00am (Mar 27)
The LCD will display the past indoor and outdoor temperature & humidity, value of air pressure, wind chill, wind speed, rainfall and their time and date.
NOTE!
When maximum or minimum reading is displayed, the corresponding timestamp will be shown.
HI/LO alert are used to alert you of certain weather conditions. Once activated, the alarm will turn on and amber LED starts flashing when a certain criterion is met. The following are areas and type of alert provided:

NOTE!
The 5-in-1 sensor is capable of transmitting data wirelessly over an approximate operating of 150m range (line of sight). Occasionally, due to intermittent physical obstructions or other environmental interference, the signal may be weaken or lost. In the case that the sensor signal is lost completely, you will need to relocate the main unit or the wireless 5-in-1 sensor.
The outdoor 5-in-1 sensor is calibrated to be pointing to North by default. However, in some cases, users may wish to install the product with the arrow pointing towards the South, especially for people living in the Southern hemisphere (e.g. Australia, New Zealand).
NOTE!
Changing from hemisphere setting will automatically switch the direction of the moon phase on the display.
In the Northern hemisphere, the moon waxes (the part of the moon we see that glows after the New Moon) from the right. Hence the sun-lit area of the moon moves from right to left in the Northern hemisphere, while in the Southern hemisphere, it moves from left to right. Below are the 2 tables which illustrate how the moon will appear on the main unit.
