BEFORE YOU BEGIN  
 We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote sensor  
and main unit when temperatures are above 32°F (0°C). We  
recommend using lithium batteries for the remote sensor when  
temperatures are below 32°F (0°C).  
Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries  
cannot maintain correct power requirements).  
ALWAYS install batteries in the remote sensor before the main  
unit.  
Insert batteries matching the polarity in the battery compartment  
Press RESET after each battery change with a paper clip or wire.  
Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if any).  
During an initial setup, place the main unit close to the remote  
sensor.  
After reception is established (the remote temperature will appear  
on the main units display), position the remote sensor and the  
main unit within the effective transmission range of 100 feet (30  
meters).  
A. LED INDICATOR  
Flashes once when transmitting a reading to the main unit.  
Flashes twice when battery power is low.  
B. BATTERY COMPARTMENT  
Holds two AA-size batteries  
C. RESET  
 The remote sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors,  
depending on the area where the temperature is intended to  
be measured. If you intend measuring outdoor temperature,  
place temperature sensor outdoors  
Resets all readings  
D. CHANNEL switch  
 The main unit must be placed indoors.

NOTE:  
. Avoid pressing any buttons on the main unit before the remote  
temperature is displayed.  
. The effective operating range may be influenced by the surrounding  
building materials and how the receiver and transmitter are positioned.  
. Place the remote sensor so that it faces the main unit (receiver),  
minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.

placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow. The best suggested  
location for the remote sensor for outdoors is under the eave on the north  
side of the building.  
A low-battery indicator [  
] will appear on the indoor or remote  
temperature reading line of the main unit warning that the corresponding  
batteries need replacement.  
NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in  
the outdoor remote sensor may have reduced volt age supply and a  
shorter effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at  
temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below.  
GETTING STARTED  
After batteries are installed; remote sensor will transmit temperature  
readings at 45 second intervals. It may take up to two minutes to receive  
the initial readings. Upon successful reception, remote temperature will  
appear in the temperature window below the weather forecast on the  
main units display (the default remote channel is channel one). The main  
unit will automatically update readings.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION  
REMOTE SENSOR  
NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and temperature in C°  
or F° before mounting the remote sensor.  
Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small  
Phillips screwdriver.  
After communication between the main unit and remote sensor has  
been established, secure the remote sensor in the desired location.  
If no signal is received from the remote sensor within two minutes,  
dashes [- - -] will be displayed. Press and hold the main unit DOWN ()  
button for two seconds to initiate another signal search for the remote.  
Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery  
compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote  
sensor is being used.  
Install 2 AA size alkaline batteries (not included) matching the  
polarities shown in the battery compartment.  
Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.  
Secure the remote sensor in the desired location.

WEATHER FORECAST WINDOW  
REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURES WINDOW  
The temperature window default display shows the indoor and remote  
temperature information (remote temperature is on the top, and indoor  
temperature is on the bottom line).The IN icon indicates that the unit is  
displaying the indoor readings.  
The Weather Forecaster is capable of detecting atmospheric pressure  
changes. Based on collected data, it forecasts the weather for the next 12  
to 24 hours.  
The remote temperature for channel two and three can be recalled by  
pressing CHANNEL button.  
The wave (reception) icon is located above the remote channel number  
and indicates the reception status from the remote sensor.  
The following three types of reception status may be displayed:  
NOTE: The weather forecast accuracy is approximat ely 70%.  
Display shows forecasted, not current conditions. The SUNNY icon  
indicates clear weather, even when displayed during the night-time.  
The unit is in searching mode.  
Temperature reading is securely registered.  
No signal is detected.  
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM READINGS  
-
- -  
The maximum and minimum record of the indoor and remote  
temperatures will be automatically stored in the memory of the main unit.  
To display the minimum or maximum temperature reading press  
CHANNEL and DOWN () buttons simultaneously.  
If no button is pressed for the next 15 seconds, the unit will return to the  
current temperature display.  
NOTE: If the indoor or remote temperature goes above or below  
operating specification range, the main display will show dashes - - -”  
To clear the memory, press and hold CHANNEL button for two seconds  
and all previously stored readings will be erased.

press and hold DOWN () button for 2 seconds to begin a new signal  
search. If the signal still isnt received, please make sure that:  
affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and  
reception of the temperature readings will resume once the interference  
subsides.  
The remote sensor is in its proper location.  
The distance between main unit and remote sensor(s) is not over  
100 feet (30meters).  
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME  
The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the  
distance if necessary.  
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.  
The Weather Forecaster receives the WWVB signal through the internal  
antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. The radio controlled clock will  
search for the atomic time signal. Due to signal strength reception can be  
limited during the daylight hours.  
Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor and  
main unit.  
If there is no reception, 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.  
The WWVB tower icon on the main units 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:  
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.  
Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in the  
same manner.  
 During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are reduced  
and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception  
is sufficient to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.  
Set the main unit CHANNEL to the same channel set on the  
remote sensor. When the transmission is successfully received  
the remote temperature will appear on the main units display.  
 Make sure the unit is placed at 8 feet (2 meters) away from  
interference sources: TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.  
The received signal may be weakened within metal or concrete  
wall rooms such as basements or office buildings. Place the  
Projection Clock near the window for best reception.  
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

move to the next parameter.  
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.  
 Continue setting month, date, hour, minutes, language for the
