The weather station includes a light sensor that detects low light conditions and will turn the backlight on automatically 
(A/C power cord use required).  
 
When operating with the optional A/C power cord, the weather station backlight can be turned ON, 
OFF or automatic (depending on light conditions).   

 

AUTO: the backlight will be off in when there is adequate light, and will come on automatically in 
low light conditions.  

 

ON: the backlight will be on constantly when using A/C power. 

 

OFF: the backlight will remain off unless the LIGHT button is pressed. 

Note:

 For continuous backlight control the A/C adaptor (included) must be plugged in. 

 
Backlight sensor sensitivity can be adjusted to high or low using the switch, located on the back of the weather station. 
 
When operating on battery power alone, the backlight can be activated for three seconds by pressing the LIGHT button on 
top of the weather station. 
 

Memory Reset Procedure 

 

Note:

 This will completely reset all of the stored memory in the weather station. 

1. 

Hold

 SNOOZE and UP

 

buttons for four (4) seconds so the backlight will flash. 

2.  Press the SET button which will clear the memory–the weather station will start beeping with a one second delay. 
3.  Wait until the beeping stops. 
4.  Disconnect weather station from the A/C adapter. Remove batteries from the back or the weather station (optional) if 

installed.  

5.  Wait at least 10 seconds and then reinsert the A/C adapter and batteries.  

IMPORTANT: Do not 

press any buttons during the setup process, which take 5-15 minutes. During this time, the 

weather station will flash the pressure icon and 

inHg

 (inches of mercury). Setup is completed when the weather 

station shows default settings for pressure and altitude (sea level), indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity, wind and 
rain readings, etc.

   

6.  Follow the program menu to 

set language

 and 

city code

 then any custom settings desired.  

                         

Changing Batteries 

 
The battery status of each remote sensor is checked every hour. If the low battery indicator lights up, replace the 
batteries in the corresponding sensor. 

 

Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries 

 

Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries    
 

Weather Station  
 

With A/C power cord:

 Connect the optional 7.5V A/C adaptor to the weather station to avoid losing any data.

Replace the battery compartment door. 

 
Without A/C power cord:  

 

Remove the battery compartment door at the back and replace all batteries.  

 

Replace the battery compartment door. 

 

Do not 

press any buttons during the setup process, which takes 5-15 minutes. During this time, the weather station 

will flash the pressure icon and 

inHg

 (inches of mercury). Setup is completed when the weather station shows default 

settings for pressure and altitude (sea level), indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity, wind and rain readings, etc.

 

 

Set language and city code.

 

 

Remote Sensors 
 

 

Replace the batteries following the setup instructions for the corresponding sensor. 

 

When the batteries are properly installed, the remote sensor will resume sending signals to the weather station. 

 

Hold

 the DOWN

 

arrow button for 4–5 seconds on the weather station to search for the remote sensors.
