To view the Minimum/Maximum temperature: first select 
which remote temperature sensor to read data from (indicated 
by the “boxed” number), then press the 

OUT

 button.  Pressing 

this button once will display the minimum temperature, and 
the date and time the data was recorded.  Pressing this button 
a second time (while “MIN” is still displayed, otherwise press 
the button twice) will display the same data for the maximum 
recordings.

To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, it is necessary to 
select which remote temperature sensor you wish to reset.  
Press and hold the 

OUT

 button for 5 seconds, the records for 

the selected remote temperature sensor unit will be reset. 

 
MOUNTING 

Note:

  Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor weather station 

is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location.  Also, extreme 
and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the indoor 
weather station, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate 
weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours.  These changes will require 
a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true 
temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the 
remote temperature sensor or indoor weather station. While the remote 
temperature sensor is weather proof, avoid submersion in water or snow. 
We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on an 
outside North-facing wall.  The sending range is 

330ft

—obstacles such as 

walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.  Place both 
units in their desired location, and wait approximately 15 minutes before 
permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception.  The indoor 
weather station should display a temperature in the OUTDOOR LCD 
within 4 minutes of setting up.   

 

I.  THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR 

The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways: 

 

with the use of screws, or 

 

using the adhesive tape. 

 

A.  MOUNTING WITH SCREWS

 

1)

 

Remove the mounting bracket from the remote 
temperature sensor.
