1. By pressing the MIN MAX key the current outdoor temperature will alternate between the maximum minimum and current temperature recordings Once a new outdoor temperature high or low is reached it will automatically be set into the Weather Station s memory Note When current temperature is selected the MAX or MIN icon will not appear on the MAXI MIN section of the LCD Resetting the minimum and maximum temperature recording By pressing and holding down the MIN MAX key for about 3 seconds both the indoor and outdoor minimum and maximum temperature recordings will be reset to the current indoor and outdoor temperatures Important Note All the outdoor temperature recordings max min in all existing channels will be reset at the same time Outdoor temperature 1 2 and 3 If the more than one transmitter is being used to alternate between the temperature readings of transmitter 1 2 and 3 simply press the CH key If the reading is from transmitter 1 then the channel identification number 1 will be displayed in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD The same will apply to the next transmitter and so on However if only one transmitter is used no identification number will be displayed on the LCD THE WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS There are 3 weather icons on the first section of the LCD which can be displayed in any of the following combinations Forecast T FORECAST 3 l os SM Sunny Cloudy with sunn
2. Weather forecast and weather icons The weather forecast and icons can display three weather symbols and two weather tendency indicators in forms of an arrow The arrows will change their appearance depending on the air pressure development Indoor temperature The indoor temperature is displayed on the third line of the LCD under the time The Weather Station s built in sensor automatically measures the temperature once the batteries are inserted Minimum and maximum indoor temperature recordings By pressing the MIN MAX key the current indoor temperature will alternate between the maximum minimum and current temperature recordings also changes for outdoor temperature Once a new indoor temperature high or low is reached it will automatically set into the Weather Station s memory Note When current temperature is selected the MAX or MIN icon will not appear on the MAX MIN section of the LCD Outdoor temperature reading The outdoor temperature reading is on the bottom line of the LCD under MIN and MAX icon The Weather Station receives the outdoor temperature via 433 MHz frequency when the batteries are inserted into the transmitter within the 1 1 2 minutes of the setting up time See Setting up above Note Should the outdoor temperature not be received within 2 minutes after inserting the batteries into a transmitter then see Checking 433 MHz reception below Minimum and maximum outdoor temperature reading
3. pointing downwards Note Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD CHECKING FOR 433 MHz RECEPTION In normal surroundings for example away from interfering sources such as TV sets the outdoor temperature can usually be easily received within 1 1 2 minutes If the outdoor temperature is not displayed on the LCD after 2 minutes then check the following A The distance of the units should be at least 1 5 2 0 meters away from interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets a Avoid placing the units onto or in the immediate proximity of metal doors window frames or structures 3 Using other electrical products such as headphones and speakers that operate on the same signal 433 MHz can prevent the transmission pick up 4 Neighbors using electrical products operating on the 433 MHz signal can also cause interference In most severe cases the reception is only possible once all other electrical products using the 433 MHz are switched off 5 Within thick concrete rooms such as basements and tower blocks the 433 MHz signal can be weakened avoid placing near metal frames and structures 6 Transmission can be affected by exposure to extreme temperature conditions For example if the weather has been extremely cold under 25 C for an extended period of time then the transmission signal may be weakened Please bear this in mind when p

7. ample from sunny to rain the Weather Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time for example mostly sunny If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point for example from the ground floor to the first floor of a house remove the batteries and re insert them after about 30 seconds By doing this the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude Again disregard weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours as this will allow time for operation at a constant altitude THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendency indicators located on the left and right hand side of the weather icons When the indicator points upwards it means that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve but when indicator points downwards the air pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse Taking this into account one can see how the weather has changed and is expected to change For example if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud and sun icons then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny the sun icon only Therefore the next change in the weather will be cloud with rain icons since the indicator is

9. e code reception is automatically started just after the Weather Station is activated This takes typically between 3 5 minutes in good conditions This time period is an excellent opportunity to locate the transmitter s in suitable location s outdoors In order to ensure sufficient 433 MHz transmission however this should under good conditions be no more than 20 25 meters from where the Weather Station will be finally positioned see notes on Positioning and 433 MHz Reception ts If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received use the SET key to manually enter a time initially The clock will automatically attempt each hour to receive the DCF time When this is successful the received time will override the manually set time Note Should the total time of inserting the batteries into the transmitters take longer than 1 1 2 minutes from the time of inserting the batteries into the Weather Station then temperature reception problems may occur If the temperature is not being received then see Checking for 433 MHz reception before resetting the units see Resetting the Weather Station below In the event of changing batteries in any of the units all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures This is because the transmitter at start up assigns a random security code and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first 1 1 2 minutes of power being supplied to it BATTERY CH
10. erting or removing the Outdoor Transmitter to or from the wall holder please hold both units securely to avoid tearing the holder from the wall There is also double sided tape included with the wall holder On smooth surfaces this can be used instead of drilling holes The mounting surface can however affect the transmission range If for example the unit is attached to a piece of metal it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range For this reason we recommend not placing the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity garage doors double glazing etc Before securing in place please ensure that the Weather Station can receive the 433 MHz signal from the Outdoor Transmitter at the positions that you wish to situate them CARE AND MAINTENANCE Avoid placing the units in areas prone to vibration and shock as these may cause Indoor temperature checking intervals every 10 seconds damage Outdoor temperature reception every 5 minutes Avoid areas where the units can be exposed to sudden changes in temperature i e Transmitting frequency z 433 92 MHz direct sunlight extreme cold and wet moist conditions as these will lead to rapid Power source changes in temperature which reduces the accuracy of readings Weather Station 2x AA IEC LR6 1 5V batteries When cleaning the LCD and casing use a soft damp cloth only Do not use solvents Transm
