LOST COMMUNICATION
If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading
goes blank, press and hold DOWN (
to begin a new signal search. If the signal still isn't received,
please make sure that:
• The remote sensor is in its proper location.
• The distance between main unit and remote sensor(s) is
not over 100 feet (30 meters)
• The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the
distance if necessary.
• Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote
sensor and main unit.
If there is no reception, please perform the following steps:
• Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.
• Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the
remote sensor with small Phillips screwdriver, and open
the battery compartment.
• Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and
reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED
indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal.
• Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall
them in the same manner.
• On the main unit select the same channel number using
CHANNEL button as set on the remote sensor. The
remote temperature appeared on the main unit's display
will show that transmission is being received successfully.

ATOMIC CLOCK
Immediately after establishing communication between the
main unit and remote sensor, the atomic time signal receiver
will open and start to search for the atomic time signal.
The search usually takes between 5-8 minutes.
NOTE: Do not press any buttons on the main unit during
auto search as it may interrupt product's operation,
and you will need to start set up procedure again.
Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time
will be set automatically, and the [
] icon will appear.
NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, having in
mind that the default zone is a US Pacific Standard
Time (PST). (Refer to MANUAL SETTINGS section)
If the time signal has not been received in 8 minutes, you
may use the MODE button to set the time and date
manually. (Refer to the MANUAL SETTINGS section).
After the clock is set manually, place the Weather Station
by the window for the better reception. The atomic clock
receiver is programmed that it will continue to search for
the atomic time signal daily for every hour between 1:00
am and 4:30 am.
Once the time signal has been successfully received, the
time and date will be updated automatically.
CLOCK AND CALENDAR DISPLAY WINDOW
The Weather Forecaster with Dual Projection displays
current time in two display modes – in hour-minutes-
seconds format and in hour-minutes-day.
The date is displayed in month-date format below the
current time with the day of the week and US map.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from the other household devices such as wireless
) button for 2 seconds
doorbells, home security systems, and entry control, may
interfere with this product or cause temporary reception
interruption. This is normal and will not affect the general
performance of the product. The transmission and
reception of the temperature readings will resume once the
interference subsides.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
radio station (WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado.
It transmits an exact time signal continuously throughout
the most of the continental United States at 60 KHz frequency.
The Weather Forecaster can receive this WWVB signal
through the internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away.
Due to the nature of the Earth's ionosphere, reception can be
limited during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock
will search for an alternate station that receives the atomic
time signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder,
Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the unit's display will flash
indicating a radio signal reception from the WWVB
station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and
date are not set automatically, please consider the following:
• 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.
• Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office
buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always
place the Projection Clock near the window for better
reception.
MANUAL SETTINGS
It is necessary to set the desired US TIME ZONE.
TIME ZONE
• Press MODE button so that the Day of the Week
abbreviation is displayed to the right of the time; for
example: pm 2:37tu
• Select the Time Zone by pressing and holding UP ( )
button for 3 seconds
• Keep holding UP ( ) button until the desired US Time
Zone (Pacific, Mountain, Central or Eastern) is highlighted
on the display's US map, located to the right of the time
display and above the day of the week
• Release the UP ( ) button. The Time Zone is set
CLOCK
• Press and hold MODE button for 3 seconds: the year
will flash. Press UP ( ) or DOWN ( ) to change
flashing digits.
• After the year is set, press MODE button to confirm and
move to the next parameter.
• Continue setting month, date, hour, minutes, language
for the day of the week and temperature in Fahrenheit or
Celsius
• Press MODE for the last time to return to the time of day
with seconds, after the last parameter is set.
CLOCK ALARMS
The Weather Forecaster with Dual Projection has two time
alarms – Weekday alarm (W) and Single day alarm(S) - and
one Ice Warning Alarm (PRE-AL).
• If Weekday alarm is activated, it will sound at the set
time and the alarm icon will flash Mondays through
Fridays
• If Single day alarm is activated, it will sound at the
set time and the alarm icon will flash only for this
specific day and will not activate on subsequent days
• If Ice Warning Alarm is activated, in will sound at the
set time and alarm icon will flash once the remote
temperature for Channel One (1) will reach 32°F(0°C)
and below
NOTE: Ice Warning Alarm can be set only if one or
both - Weekday or Single alarm are programmed.
