3. Set up Guide

 

 

3.1 Battery installation 
Note

To  avoid  operating  problems,  please  take  note  of  the  battery  polarity  when  inserting  the 

batteries  (permanent  damage  can  be  caused  by  inserting  the  batteries  in  the  wrong  direction). 
Use good quality Alkaline batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.   
 

1)  Insert two AAA batteries into the remote sensor.   

2)  Insert three AA batteries into the weather station. 
3)  Wait 3 minutes or until the outdoor temperature is displayed in the weather station.

 Do not press any 

keys before the outdoor sensor data has been received.

 

4)  Mount  the  units,  ensuring  that  the  receiver  can  still  pick  up  the  signal  from  the  transmitter.  To 

measure outdoor temperature, place the transmitter outdoors. It will transmit the temperature from its 
location. 

 

Every time the remote sensor is powered up (for example after a change of batteries) a random security 
code is transmitted and this code must be synchronised  with the base station to receive  weather data.

 

Thus if the batteries have been changed on the transmitter, then the receiver must be powered up 
again to re-learn the transmitter code.

 

 
After the remote sensor is powered up, the sensor will transmit weather data for 30s, and then the sensor 
will start radio controlled time reception. During the RCC time reception period (maximum 10 minutes), no 
weather data will be transmitted. If the signal reception is not successful within 1 minute, the signal search 
will  be cancelled and  will automatically resume every  two  hours until  the signal  is successfully  captured. 
Regular RF link will be established once RCC reception routine is finished. 

 
Note:  DO  NOT  PRESS  ANY  KEY

  during  the  first  10  minutes  of  the  learning  period.  After  the  outdoor 

weather  data  is  displayed  you  can  place  your  remote  sensor  outdoors  and  set  your  time  (if  no  RCC 

reception is possible).    If there is no temperature reading in the indoor station make sure the units are 

within  range  of  each  other  or  repeat  the  battery  installation  procedure.  If  a  key  is  pressed  before  the 

weather station receives the temperature signal you will need to follow the battery installation procedure 

again. 

Please  wait  1  minute  before  re-inserting  the  batteries  again  to  perform  a  proper  reset  for 

both the transmitter and receiver. 

 
Note:

 When batteries require replacement in the base station the low battery indicator will light up on the 

LCD.
