PREPARATION FOR USE

Attention! For ﬁ rst time operation and battery replacement:

First insert batteries for main unit and then insert batteries

for remote sensor.

A) BEFORE YOU BEGIN

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.

B) BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT

1. Open the battery compartment door.

2. Install 4 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly

according to the polarities shown.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

C) To install the AC-DC

adapter for Continue

Projection:

Use 4 X AA, 1.5V batteries

and AC-DC adapter

(AC230V, 50Hz-DC7.5V,

200mA) included.

31

Important:

Please make sure your household voltage matched with the voltage

supported by the adapter, or it will damage your clocks and adapter.

D) BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT

1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.

2. Select the channel

3. Install 4 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly according

to the polarities shown.

4. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.

E) LOW BATTERY WARNING

When it is time to replace batteries, the respective low-battery

indicator [

] will show up on the indoor or outdoor temperature.

F) SOFT-TOUCHING KEY

Your Weather Station features the soft-touch key technology.

It is different from the traditional button. You can use the function

key by touching softly on the lens instead of pressing the key.

G) GETTING STARTED

Once batteries are in place for the remote unit, they will start

transmitting temperature readings at around 45 seconds intervals.

The main unit will also start searching for signals for about two minutes

once batteries are installed. Upon successful reception, the outdoors

temperatures will be displayed .The main unit will automatically

update its readings at about 45-second intervals.

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.

Repeat this step whenever you ﬁ nd discrepancies between the

reading shown on the main unit and that on the remote unit.

GB/IE

32

H) HOW TO CHECK REMOTE TEMPERATURES

The wave display on the outdoors temperature indicates the

reception of the remote unit is in good order.

If no readings are received from the remote unit for more than

two minutes, blanks “

” will be displayed until further readings

are successfully searched. Check the remote unit is sound and

secure. You can wait for a little while or Hold [▼] for 2 seconds

to enforce an immediate search.

If the temperature goes above or below than the temperature

measuring range of the main unit or the remote unit (stated in

speciﬁ cation), the display will show “

”.

I) HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY

The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the

main unit. There are three possible forms:

The unit is in searching mode.

Temperature readings are securely registered.

No signals.

˚C

DISCONNECTED SIGNALS

If without obvious reasons the display of the outdoor temperature

goes blank, Hold [▼] for 2 seconds to enforce an immediate search.

If that fails, check:

1. The remote unit is still in place.

2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit.

Replace as necessary.

33

Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point, the batteries

of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage supply

and the effective range.

3. The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles

and interference. Shorten the distance when necessary.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home

security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of this

product and cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal and

does not affect the general performance of the product. The trans-

mission and reception of temperature readings will resume once the

interference recedes.
