NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing, the
batteries in the outdoor remote sensor may have
reduced voltage supply and a shorter effective range.
We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures
of 32°F (0°C) and below.
GETTING STARTED
DIGITAL WEATHER DISPLAY
After batteries are installed; remote sensor will transmit
temperature and humidity data at 45 second intervals.
The main unit may take up to two minutes to receive the
initial readings. Upon successful reception, remote
temperature and humidity will appear under the weather
forecast section of the main unit’s display (the default
remote channel is channel one). The main unit will
automatically update readings at 45-second intervals.
After communication between the main unit and
remote sensor has been established, secure the remote
sensor in the desired location.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
REMOTE SENSOR
NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and
temperature in °C or °F before mounting the remote
sensor.
• Remove the screws from the battery compartment with
a small Phillips screwdriver.
• Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery
compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only
one remote sensor is being used.
If no signal is received from the remote sensor within two
minutes, dashes [- - -] will be displayed. Press and hold
the DOWN (
) button on the main unit for two seconds
• Install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included)
matching the polarities shown in the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.
• Secure the remote sensor in the desired location.
to initiate another signal search.
PLACEMENT OF THE UNITS
The main unit can be placed on any flat surface indoors.
The remote sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors, on
a flat surface or mounted on the wall.
MAIN UNIT
• Slide to the right the battery compartment door on the
back of the unit and remove it.
• Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) matching
the polarity as shown in the battery compartment.

REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURE &
HUMIDITY
PROGRAMMABLE TEMPERATURE ALARM
This product allows manual programming of a HIGH and
LOW temperature alarms for all three remote channels.
Once the actual remote temperature will reach the pre-set
high or low limits, the alarm will sound. The alarm can be
set for temperature readings between -58 °F and 158°F.
The remote temperature and humidity information line is
located right below the weather forecast line of the main
unit’s display.
The wave icon is located above the remote channel number
indicates the reception status from the corresponding
remote sensor.
To program the temperature alarm for all remote channels,
• Press the TEMPALARM button once to enter into the
Temperature Alarm Programming mode – the
abbreviation "OF" will be displayed on the remote
temperature line
There are three following types of the reception status
may be displayed:
The unit is in a searching mode.
• Press and hold TEMPALARM button until the lower
temperature limit value (-58) will flash
• Set the desired lower temperature limit using
DOWN ( ) arrow button
Temperature and humidity
readings are securely registered.
• Press TEMPALARM button once confirming the
lower temperature limit value
No signals detected.
- - -
• Press and hold TEMPALARM button until the HIGH
temperature limit value ( 158) will flash
• Set the desired higher temperature limit using
DOWN ( ) arrow button
The indoor temperature and humidity with the icon IN are
located below the remote temperature and humidity
information line.
• Press TEMPALARM button once confirming the
higher temperature limit value
NOTE: If the indoor or remote temperature or humidity
goes above or below operating range stated in specifications,
the main unit’s display ( weather station portion) will show
dashes "- - -" on the corresponding line.
AUTO-SCANNING
Press and hold the CHANNEL button for 2 seconds – the
icon "
" will appear on the main unit weather display

COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS
WEATHER FORECAST
This product is capable of detecting and displaying the
current indoor comfort levels of surrounding environment.
The comfort level is displayed on the weather station
portion of the main unit’s display. It is based on the
combination of the current indoor temperature and
humidity readings. There are following comfort levels
may be displayed: COMFORT (comfortable); WET (wet)
and DRY (dry)
This unit is capable of detecting the atmospheric pressure
changes. Based on collected weather data, it forecasts the
weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.

LOST COMMUNICATION
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading
goes blank, press and hold DOWN ( ) button for
2 seconds to begin a new signal search. If the signal still
isn’t received, please make sure that:
Signals from the other household devices such as wireless
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 and humidity readings will
resume once the interference subsides.
• The remote sensor is in its proper location.
• The distance between main unit and remote sensor(s) is
not over 200 feet (60meters).
• The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the
distance if necessary.
ANALOG CLOCK DISPLAY
Immediately after the battery installation, the clock’s hour
and minutes “hands” will start moving and stop at 4:00,
8:00 or 12:00 position.
• Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote
sensor and main unit.
To program the desired time,
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.
• Press and hold the CLOCK SET button, located inside
the battery compartment – the MINUTE and HOUR
hands will start moving clockwise
• Release the CLOCK SET button, once the MINUTE
and HOUR hands have reached the desired time
position. Immediately after releasing the CLOCK SET
button, the SECONDS hand will start moving,
confirming that clock is started.
• 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.
ALARM
• On the main unit select the same channel number using
CHANNEL button as set on the remote sensor. The
remote temperature and humidity appeared on the main
unit’s display will show that transmission is being
received successfully.
To set the time alarm,
• Turn the ALARM knob, moving the ALARM hand
(smallest from three) to the desired alarm time
• Release the ALARM knob
• Slide ON/OFF switch to the ON position
DISABLING THE ALARM
Slide the ON/OFF switch on the main unit to the OFF
position disabling the clock’s alarm.
