Adjustment or Calibration
Note:
The calibrated value can only be adjusted on the console. The remote sensor(s) always
displays the un-calibrated or measured value.
The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the
devices margin of error. The measurement can be adjusted from the console to calibrate to a
known source.
Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is
optional. This section discusses practices, procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce
manufacturing and degradation errors. Do not compare your readings obtained from sources such
as the internet, radio, television or newspapers. They are in a different location and typically
update once per hour.
The purpose of your weather station is to measure conditions of your surroundings, which vary
significantly from location to location.
The WS-01T supports up to eight remote sensors. Each of the eight sensors can be calibrated.

Temperature Calibration
Prior to entering the calibration mode, press the
CH/+
key to select the temperature you wish to
adjust.
To enter the temperature calibration mode, press and hold the
SET
and
CH/
+
keys at the same
time for five seconds, and the temperature value will begin flashing. Press the
CH/+
key to
increase the temperature and the
MIN/MAX/-
key to decrease the temperature reading in 0.1°
increments. To rapidly increase (or decrease) the temperature reading, press and hold the
CH/+
or
MIN/MAX/-
key.
To return the temperature to the actual or uncalibrated measurement, press the
SET
button.
Once the displayed temperature equals the calibrated source, press and hold the
SET
button for
three seconds, or wait 30 seconds for timeout, and the temperature value will stop flashing.

Personalizing Color Ranges
You can customize your background color ranges to suit your location, or personal preferences.
For example, if you live in Alaska, your definition of hot and cold may be very different if you
live in Arizona.
