Page 3: Quick Set-Up
QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. Have the intelligent weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor 3 to 5 feet apart. Batteries should be out of both the intelligent weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor units for 10 minutes. Place the batteries into the remote temperature/humidity sensor first and then into the intelligent weather station. -

87 feet. Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal range. This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non- metallic siding; however certain materials can reduce range even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by as much as ¾... -

The intelligent weather station uses 3 x AA (alkaline recommended) batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced the low battery symbol will appear on the LCD (or replace the batteries annually). To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: Remove the cover. -

ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time) The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time and date signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the intelligent weather station. - Page 7 SET key • Press and hold the key to enter manual setting modes: LCD contrast, 12/24 hour time display, time zone, daylight saving time ON/OFF, manual time setting, calendar, WWVB ON/OFF, ºF/ºC temperature unit, pressure unit, relative pressure setting and language display •...

*When the signal from the remote temperature/humidity sensor is successfully received by the intelligent weather station, this signal reception will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown on LCD) So the user can easily see whether the last reception is successful (icon on) or not (icon off). -

Use the MAX/+ or MIN/- key to set the time zone. The MAX/+ key increases the value and the MIN/- key decreases the value in consecutive 1 hour intervals. Press and release the SET key to confirm selection and to enter the Daylight saving time On/Off setting. -
Page 12: Calendar Setting
The unit will still try to receive the WWVB signal between 0:00 and 6:00 am every day despite it being manually set, if the WWVB reception function has been set ON. When it does receive the signal, it will change the manually set time into the received time. During reception attempts the WWVB tower icon will flash. -
Page 13: F/°C Temperature Unit Setting
Flashing In area where reception of the WWVB time is not possible, the WWVB time reception function can be turned OFF. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock. (Default setting is ON). The digit “ON” will start flashing on the LCD. Use the MAX/+ or MIN/- key to turn OFF the time reception function. - Page 14 Press and release the SET key to confirm selection and to enter the Relative Pressure Value setting. Note: The default reference pressure value of the barometer is 29.91 inHg (1013 hPa). For an exact measurement it is necessary to first adjust the barometer to your local relative air pressure (related to elevation above sea level).

If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the intelligent weather station to register.

Page 24: Air Pressure
Note: After initial set up of the intelligent weather station with the setting of the relative value, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the intelligent weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. -
Page 25: Bar Graph Display
The reference relative air pressure can be set between 28.35 to 30.72 inHg (960 to 1040hPa). See “Relative pressure value setting” in manual setting. BAR GRAPH DISPLAY You may select to display the history of the air pressure in the form of a graph consisting of vertical bars on the intelligent weather station LCD. -
Page 26: Low Battery Indicator
At every full hour the current air pressure is used as a basis for the display of a new graph bar. The existing graph is then moved one bar to the left. Note: For accurate barometric pressure trend, the intelligent weather station should operate at the same altitude. - Page 27 German English French Italian Spanish DETAILED INFORMATION SHOWN IN THE WEATHER DISPLAY: Language selected English German French Italian Spanish Timeframe for Forecast Vorhersageda Period Durata prev.

- Page 29 The transmission range of the remote temperature/humidity sensor may be affected by the ambient temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when placing the transmitter. The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote temperature sensor has a range of 330 feet.
