Low Battery Indicator
When the low battery icon appears in the indoor (IN) reading section, replace the batteries in
the forecast station.
When the low battery icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) readings section, replace the batteries
in the outdoor transmitter.
Position the Outdoor Transmitter
Once the forecast station shows the outdoor temperature/humidity, place it and the transmitter in the desired
locations and wait approximately one hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there is
proper reception. The transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, where direct
sunlight cannot reach the outdoor transmitter, at least 6 feet from the ground to avoid damage and ensure
accurate readings. The transmitter is water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will
become submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow.
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the forecast station and under an overhang for
accuracy. The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (60 meters).
Option 1:
Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving approximately ½ of an inch
(12.7mm) extended.
Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
Option 2:
Insert the mounting screw (not included) through the front of the transmitter and into the wall.
Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as
walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Position the Forecast Station
1. The forecast station has a wide base to sit on a desk or table.
2. Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions,
microwaves, routers etc.
3. Place within range of the outdoor transmitter.
4. The maximum transmitting range in open air is 200 feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as walls, windows,
stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range.
5. For best WWVB reception orientate the forecast station with the front of the back facing Ft. Collins,
Colorado.
