USER’S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the BAR888A Weather Fore-
cast Multi-Channel In-Out Thermometer with 433MHz cable free
sensor and radio-controlled calendar clock.

The basic package comes with a main unit (which is the barometer,
temperature and calendar clock station), and a remote unit (the
thermo sensor).

The main unit has large read-outs for weather forecast, indoors
temperature, calendar clock and temperatures collected and
transmitted by the remote unit. The main unit can support up to
three remote units.

The main unit is capable of keeping track of the maximum and
minimum temperature of different sites. And no wire installation is
required. As the BAR888A operates at 433MHz, it can be used
in the U.S. and most places in Continental Europe.

It automatically synchronizes its current time and date when it is
brought within range of the radio signal from U.S. Atomic Clock.

You can also set the calendar clock manually when it is off range.
Other features include four-language display, four-step crescendo
dual alarms and interchangeable display modes.
