CARE OF YOUR WIRELESS WEATHER FORECASTER
This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory
service if you handle it carefully. Here are a few precautions:
1. Do not immerse the units in water.
2. Do not use any corrosive cleanser or chemical solution
on the units. They may scratch the plastic parts and corrode
the electronic circuit.
3. Do not subject the units to excessive force, shock, dust,
temperature or humidity, which may result in malfunction,
shorter electronic life span, damaged batteries and distorted
parts.
4. Do not tamper with the units internal components. Doing
so will invalidate the warranty on the units and may cause
unnecessary damage. The units contains no user-
serviceable parts.
5. Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user’s manual.
Do not mix new and old batteries as the old ones may leak.
Always replace both batteries at the same time.
6. Always read the user’s manual thoroughly before
operating the units.
7. Replace the batteries promptly when necessary (display
becomes dim) or store the batteries when not in use.
8. A soft cloth or paper towel may be used to clean your units.
9. Keep the units clean and dry to avoid any problems.
READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving
status of the main unit. There are three possible forms:
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
radio station, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits
the exact time signal continuously throughout the continental
United States at 60KHz. Wireless Weather Forecaster can
receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna
from the distance up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature
of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during
the daytime. The radio control clock will search for a signal
every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio
station receives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in
Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the main unit's display will flash
indicating radio signal reception from the WWVB station.
When the time signal is received, the WWVB tower icon
turns on and the time of the selected time zone will be
displayed. If only the part of the WWVB tower icon turns
on or the WWVB tower does not appear at all and the time
is not set, please consider the following:
* Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet distance
from any interference source such as a TV, computer
monitors, microwave ovens, etc
The Unit is in searching mode
Temperature readings are
securely registered
No signals.

*
Within concrete rooms (basements, superstructures,
office buildings), the received signal will be weakened,
and the main unit should be placed close to a window.
* The successful reception of the atomic time signal depends
on the positioning and location of the main unit. Always
place the main unit by the window for better reception.
*
During the night-time, the atmospheric disturbances are
usually less severe and reception may be improved.
A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the
accuracy reading within 1 second.
Note:
In case the radio-controlled clock is not able to detect
the WWVB signal (due to disturbances, transmitting
distance, etc), the time can be manually set and will
be maintained accurately until a signal is available.
