2e) HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND
OR WALL MOUNTING
The main unit has a removable table stand, which when
connected, can support the unit on a flat surface. Or you can
remove the stand and mount the unit on a wall using the
recessed screw hole.
2f) GETTING STARTED
SETTING UP THE BAROMETER
a. When batteries are installed, the display will shows the
"hPa" and "mBar". User should press the [Unit] key to
the unit of pressure, it will shows "0" and "meter". User
can use the [ ] or [ ] (rear panel) keys to change
to "feet", or use the [Unit] key to confirm the unit.
b. After user confirmed the unit of height, it will shows
"10" with "meter" or "32" with "feet". User can use the
[ ] or [ ] (rear panel) keys to change to height of
the place, and use the [Unit] key to confirm the height.
Remark: The default unit of pressure is hPa/mBar, unit of
height is meter, height is 10 meters. It will use the
default value if no key is pressure for 60 seconds.
Thereafter, the setting of the altitude in meters
can only be done after reinserting the batteries.
SETTING UP THE REMOTE SENSORS
a. Once batteries are in place for the remote unit, they will
start transmitting temperature and humidity and UV
readings at around 45 seconds intervals (around 5 min.
for UV).
The main unit will also start searching for signals for
about two minutes once batteries are installed. 10 seconds
upon successful reception, the outdoors temperatures,
humidity and UV will be displayed .
b. If no signals are received, blanks " " will be displayed.
Hold [ ] for 2 seconds to enforce another search for
about 2 minutes. This is useful in synchronizing the
transmission and reception of the remote and main units.

2. GETTING STARTED

2a) BEFORE YOU BEGIN
For best operation,
1. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the
main unit.
2. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective
transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is
20 to 30 meters.
Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the
building materials and where the main and remote units
are positioned.
Try various set-ups for best result.
Though the remote units are weather proof, they should
be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.
The UV Sensor is to be placed in a location with the
best possible exposure to the sun.
2b) BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNITS
1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.
2. Select the channel (except UV sensor)
3. Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or "AA" size 1.5V) strictly
according to the polarities shown.
4. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.
2c) BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT
1. Open the battery compartment door.
2. Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or "AA" size 1.5V) strictly
according to the polarities shown.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
2d) LOW BATTERY WARNING
If it's time to replace batteries for the remote sensors or
the unit, the respective low-battery indicator [
show up on the outdoor temperature display (for the
thermo/hygro sensor), on the UVI display (for the UV
sensor) or on the clock display (for the unit).

Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between the
reading shown on the main unit and that on the remote unit.

3. WEATHER FORECAST

3a) WEATHER FORECAST
The unit is capable of detecting atmospheric pressure
changes. Based on collected data, it can predict the weather
for the forthcoming 12 to 24 hours.

Little rainy Heavy rainy
NOTE:
1. It is not necessary and not possible to adjust the altitude
of the weather station. After the initial start-up of the
weather station, a first forecast will be made within the
first 24 hours of operation.
2. In periods of long stable weather conditions, it becomes
difficult to make a reliable forecast.
3. The weather forecast is solely calculated on the basis of
barometric air pressure changes.
4. The probability of a correct weather forecast is
approximately 70% and is valid for an area of approx.
20-30 km around the location of the weather station.
5. The forecast "Sunny" means at night "cloudless weather".
Fogies not indicated by the weather station as this can
occur with different weather conditions.
6. If you travel with become impossible due to changes in
altitude and location. You'll have to wait up to 24 hour so
that the weather station can calculate a new forecast
based on the conditions at the new location.
