Wireless Weather Station with Barometer
Model 1733
S imple, reliable, accurate…the weather station allows you to monitor indoor or outdoor locations from one room. The
base unit reads indoor conditions, while the remote sensor wirelessly reports outdoor weather conditions back to the
base unit for an all-in-one weather display.
NOTE: Some units have a static cling label over the digital display. Please remove before use.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The base unit operates on 2 AAA batteries and the remote sensor operates on 2 AAA batteries (batteries not included).
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable
(ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.
IMPORTANT:
Install batteries in the base unit first, then the remote sensor, otherwise the units’ transmissions may not
properly connect. Place the base unit as close as possible to the remote sensor when installing batteries.
TIP: When the temperature falls below freezing point, alkaline batteries used in outdoor units may freeze, lowering their
voltage supply and effective range. Use of Lithium batteries is recommended in extremely cold or hot locations.
Base Unit
The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit. Remove the battery compartment door. Install (2) AAA size
batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity markings. Replace the battery compartment door.
Remote Sensor
The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit. Slide off the battery compartment cover. Install (2) AAA size
batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity markings. Replace the battery compartment door.
After Powering Up the Units:
When the base unit is powered up, it will beep and the LCD screen will light up.
The base unit will begin to display indoor temperature. The outdoor temperature display will flash
dashes “( -- )”.
Allow at least 3 minutes for the base unit to connect with the remote sensor and analyze current outdoor temperature
conditions. A radio antenna icon (“ ”) moves next to the “OUT” icon in the outdoor temperature screen during this
time.
Temperature digits replace the flashing dashes “( -- )” when analysis is c omplete.
If after 3 minutes the icon stops moving and dashes remain, press and hold the “ DOWN ” button on the back of the base
unit for 3 seconds to send another signal. The outdoor temperature will switch to flashing dashes “ -- ” and the radio
antenna icon (“ ”) will flash as the base unit searches for the remote sensor’s signal. For best setup connection, keep
the base unit and remote close to each other while trying to connect. Keep away from other electronic equipment that
may interfere with the connections, such as mobile phones, appliances, computers, refrigerators, TVs, etc.
Indoor temperature readings update on the base unit approximately every 60 seconds. The remote transmits
temperature readings to the base unit approximately every 57 seconds. A red light flashes on the sensor when it sends a
transmission signal and the
radio antenna icon (“ ”) will flash on the base unit when the signal is received.
Note: While the base unit is in “analyzing” mode, some functions may not be operational , or using the functions will
interrupt the transmission reception. Once the “analyzing” mode is complete, the other functions will become
operational.
DISPLAYING YOUR WEATHER STATION
Base Unit
Place the base unit indoors in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight.
Table top - pull the bottom of the Table Stand located on the back of the base unit to set it on a flat surface.
Wall
– use the keyhole on the back of the base unit to hang on a wall using a screw or nail (not included).
