3.1 Important Information
●
In order to get the full screen brightness and easy visibility of all numbers and symbols,
we recommend you use the included mains adaptor rather than batteries for the main
unit.
●
The remote sensor will work better if the main unit is powered by the included mains
adaptor rather than batteries.
●
Regarding the wireless remote sensor (which can be positioned indoors or outdoors),
if it is used outside particularly in cold conditions we recommend the use of Lithium AA
(requires 2) batteries as this will result in a more powerful signal and ensure no signal
loss. This is only precautionary advice and the remote sensor does work fine with normal
Alkaline batteries.
●
The weather station needs to be powered for 12 hours before an accurate prediction will
display.
3.2 Initial Operation
●
Either Connect the mains power or open the Weather Station Battery compartment
and insert 2 x AA batteries observing the correct polarity (+ and - marks) , then close the
battery compartment.
●
When the power is connected all the icons on the LCD display will light up for 3 seconds,
you will hear a beep tone and the weather station will start to detect the indoor
temperature and humidity.
●
The weather station will automatically search for the time via the MSF antenna within 7
minutes of powering on.
●
Next the Weather Station will attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor. This lasts
approximately 3 minutes and is displayed by the RF icon flashing (A7).
●
Remove the battery compartment on the Wireless Outdoor Sensor, insert 2 x
AAA batteries observing the correct polarity (+ and - marks) and close the battery
compartment.
●
Once the weather station has created a connection to the outdoor sensor the clock you
will see the temperature displayed under the Outdoor Icon (A7).
●
If Weather Station fails to receive a transmission from the outdoor sensor (“- -”
is displayed on the LCD), press and hold the
▼
button for 3 seconds to receive
transmission manually.
●
The RF icon will flash on the LCD and the outdoor temperature will show when it is
connected.
3.3 Backlight
●
When using battery power the backlight will be off. Press the
SNOOZE/LIGHT
button to
enable the backlight for 15 seconds.
●
When using Mains power the backlight will be lit continuously. To change the brightness
of the backlight switch the backlight switch to either
HI
