[. . . ] After the atomic clock signal is received, the time and date will be maintained automatically. This may take up to 24 hours and may not occur at all depending on your geographical location and your physical surroundings. See "troubleshooting" for atomic clock tips. INSTALL BATTERY REMOVE SLIDING BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER You may "force" the unit to search for the atomic clock at any time by pressing and holding the "-" button on the back of the main unit for 3 seconds. Time & Date Setup It is recommended that the time and date be manually set initially to ensure that they are accurate until the atomic clock signal is captured. To enter into SET MODE, press and hold the "SET" button for 3 seconds. Use the "-" and "+" buttons to adjust the selected preference, press the "SET" button again to confirm the adjustment and move on to the next preference. The main unit will automatically exit out of SET MODE after a 10 second period of inactivity. Replace the battery compartment cover. INSTALL 3 " AA" BATTERIES + SET MIN MAX SCALE _ HISTORY Scale Setup REMOVE BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER You may choose to display readings in U. S. Use the "-" and "+" buttons to adjust the selected preference, press the "SCALE" button again to confirm the adjustment and move on to the next preference. -4- -5- SECTION 3 · PLACEMENT Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the 3 wireless sensors and the main unit. The wireless sensors MUST be placed LESS THAN 100 feet away from the main unit. This wireless weather station uses radio frequency for communication, which is susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) that may interfere with the wireless communication. Wireless Wind Sensor PLACEMENT 1. Attach the wind sensor to the mounting bracket by simply sliding into the bracket. NORTH WIND (NO RTH ) 2. The sensor must be mounted with the bracket pointing NORTH as indicated on the bracket and on the top surface of the wind sensor itself. The wireless wind sensor should be mounted high above all potential wind obstructions for maximum performance, keeping in mind it must remain within the 100 ft. Attach to a solid surface utilizing screws and wall anchors (if applicable). Depending on the mounting surface, other steps may need to take place to ensure the sensor is mounted successfully.

WIND CHILL Placement of Main Unit Place the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure an accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the main unit out of direct sunlight, and away from any heat sources or vents in your home. You may hang the main unit on a wall using the integrated hang hole on the back. Alternatively, you may place the main unit on a table top or other flat surface utilizing the removable main unit display stand. PLACEMENT 1. These arrows will show at a glance if these values are falling, steady or rising. SUNNY PARTLY COUDY MOSTLY CLOUDY RAIN SNOW G WIND CHILL: When the outdoor temperature falls below 40ºF, the wind chill will be automatically calculated and displayed. [. . . ] The Acurite clock you have purchased includes a built-in receiver which picks up the signal from the WWVB station. NOTE: Due to solar radiation in the atmosphere, the atomic clock signal is weak during the day. Most synchronization with the WWVB atomic clock signal happens at night when there is less interference. Measurement Ranges Temperature Main Unit Temperature: 32ºF to 122ºF / 0ºC to 50ºC Wireless Sensors: temperature sensor: -40ºF to 158ºF / -40ºC to 70ºC humidity sensor: 16% RH to 99% RH wind sensor: up to 99 mph / 159 Kph (depending on conditions) Specifications Power Requirements Main Unit: 3 x "AA" alkaline batteries Wireless Sensors: temperature & humidity sensor: 2 x "AA" alkaline or lithium (recommended) batteries wind sensor: 2 x "AA" alkaline or lithium (recommended) batteries Wireless Communication Radio Frequency: 433 mhz Transmission Intervals: every 16 seconds Atomic Clock Frequency: WWVB 60Khz Synchronizes Daily ALWAYS USE PROPER TOOLS AND MOUNT/PLACE SENSORS IN AREAS THAT WILL BE SAFE TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. SEEK PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE IN MOUNTING/PLACING THE WIRELESS SENSORS AND FOLLOW YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS WHEN CHOOSING A MOUNTING/PLACEMENT LOCATION FOR THE WIRELESS SENSORS PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS. BATTERY SAFETY: Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. [. . . ]
