COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS
This product is capable of detecting and displaying the
current indoor comfort levels of surrounding environment.
The comfort level is displayed on the weather station portion
of the main unit’s display. It is based on the combination of
the current indoor temperature and humidity readings.
There are following comfort levels may be displayed:
COMFORT
(comfortable);
WET
(wet) and
DRY
(dry)
WEATHER FORECAST
This unit is capable of detecting the atmospheric pressure
changes. Based on collected weather data, it forecasts the
weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.

• Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall
them in the same manner.
• On the main unit select the same channel number using
CHANNEL
button as set on the remote sensor. The
remote temperature and humidity appeared on the main
unit’s display will show that transmission is being received
successfully.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from the other household devices such as wireless
doorbells, home security systems, and entry control, may
interfere with this product or cause temporary reception
interruption. This is normal and will not affect the general
performance of the product. The transmission and
reception of the temperature and humidity readings will
resume once the interference subsides.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
radio station (WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado.
It transmits an exact time signal continuously throughout
the most of the continental United States at 60 KHz frequency.
The Long-Range Weather Forecaster can receive this
WWVB signal through the internal antenna from up to
2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere,
reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio
controlled clock will search for an alternate station that
receives the atomic time signal from the NIST Atomic clock
in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash
indicating a radio signal reception from the WWVB
station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and
date are not set automatically, please consider the
following:
• During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are
typically less severe and radio signal reception may
improve. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to
keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.
• Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters)
distance from any interference source such as a TV,
computer monitor, microwave, etc.
• Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office
buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always
place the Weather Forecaster near the window for better
reception.
ATOMIC CLOCK
Immediately after establishing communication between the
main unit and remote sensor, the atomic time signal receiver
will open and start to search for the atomic time signal.
The search usually takes between 5-8 minutes.
NOTE: Do not press any buttons on the main unit during
auto search as it may interrupt product’s operation,
and you will need to start set up procedure again.
Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time
will be set automatically, and the [ ] icon will appear.
NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, having in
mind that the default zone is a US Pacific Standard
Time (PST). (
Refer to
MANUAL SETTINGS
section
)
If the time signal has not been received in 8 minutes, you
may use the
MODE
button to set the time and date
manually. (Refer to the
MANUAL SETTINGS
section).
After the clock is set manually, place the Weather
Forecaster by the window for the better reception. The
atomic clock receiver is programmed that it will continue
to search for the atomic time signal daily for every hour
between 1:00 am and 4:30 am.
Once the time signal has been successfully received, the
time and date will be updated automatically.
TIME AND CALENDAR DISPLAY MODES
The Long-Range Weather Forecaster displays current time
in two display modes – in hour-minutes-seconds format
and in hour-minutes-day.
The date is displayed in month-date format.

NOTE: The weather forecast accuracy is approximately 70%.
The main unit display shows forecasted (predicted) not
current conditions. The SUNNY icon indicates clear
weather, even when displayed during the night-time.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM READINGS
The maximum and minimum record of the indoor and
remote temperature and humidity will be automatically
stored in the memory of the main unit (receiver).
To display the minimum, maximum or the current reading
press
MEM
button.
If no button is pressed for the next 15 seconds, the unit will
return to the current temperature and humidity display.
To clear the memory, press and hold
MEM
button for two
seconds and all previously stored readings will be erased.
LOST COMMUNICATION
If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading
goes blank, press and hold
DOWN
( ) button for 2 seconds
to begin a new signal search. If the signal still isn’t received,
please make sure that:
• The remote sensor is in its proper location.
• The distance between main unit and remote sensor(s) is
not over 328 feet (100 meters)
• The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the
distance if necessary.
• Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote
sensor and main unit.
If there is no reception, please perform the following steps:
• Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.
• Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the
remote sensor with small Phillips screwdriver, and open
the battery compartment.
• Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and
reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED
indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal.
