Note:
If the weather projection station is powered through the AC adapter, the projection will be constantly ON.
If the weather projection station is battery operated the projection will turn ON only when the SNOOZE key is
pressed. Once the SNOOZE key is released, the projection and E.L. backlight will stay on for approximately
10 seconds.
USING BOTH BATTERIES AND THE POWER ADAPTOR
When using both the AC adaptor and batteries the main power source of the weather projection station will
switch to AC power. The batteries will then act as a backup power source in the case of power failure.
RESETTING
The weather projection station and the remote temperature/humidity sensor need to be reset when one of
the following conditions occur:
•
Unsuccessful 433MHz signal reception.
•
Malfunction of the units.
•
Batteries need replacement.
For resetting, remove all batteries from the units and unplug the AC adapter from the power source. Wait at
least for
3 minutes
before powering up the weather projection station again. Proceed from step 1 in
“Setting Up”, “Battery Installation” or “How to use the Projection Station Power Adaptor”
.
HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR
The projector projects the current time and the current outdoor temperature onto the ceiling, only within a
darkened room. The projection image can also be adjusted in 4 upright positions, each with a rotation of
90º by using the
key.
TO PROJECT THE TIME OR TEMPERATURE ONTO A FLAT SURFACE:
The projector will only project the current time, outdoor temperature or alternate between
time/outdoor temperature only.
1.
Point the projection lens to the appropriate direction (ideal distance of the projection is 6 feet/2
meters).
2.
Press the DISPLAY key to select the desired mode for the projection. There are 3 display modes:
M0 – projecting the current time only.
M1 – projecting the current outdoor temperature only.
M2 – projecting by switching the display of the current time and the current outdoor
temperature for every 5 seconds.
3.
Adjust the projection image in an upright position with the
key.
Note:
If more than one remote temperature/humidity sensor is used, only the temperature from remote
temperature/humidity sensor 1 will be projected.
ABOUT WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio
station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the
United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in
the weather projection station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very
limited during daylight hours. The weather projection station will search for a signal every night when
reception is best.
