[. . . ] Replace the compartment cover. 3. Note: Always wait for 2 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur. In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. BATTERY CHANGE It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units (Battery life See Specifications below). Return used batteries to an authorized depot. FUNCTION KEYS Weather station: The weather station has five easy to use function keys: 5 SUN key ALARM key MIN/MAX key SET key + key SET key Press and hold for 2 seconds to enter manual setting modes: LCD contrast, DST ON/OFF, manual time setting, calendar and relative air pressure value To stop the alarm sound To exit alarm setting mode and country/state/city setting mode To toggle between relative and absolute air pressure value display + key To increase/change values in setting modes To stop the alarm sound MIN/MAX key To switch among the display of MIN/MAX outdoor temperatures and MIN/MAX indoor temperatures To decrease/change values in setting modes 6 Press and hold the key for 2 seconds to reset ALL indoor/outdoor minimum/maximum temperature recordings to current readings To stop the alarm sound ALARM key To activate/deactivate the alarm and display alarm time Press and hold for 2 seconds to enter the alarm setting mode To stop the alarm sound To exit manual setting mode and country/state/city setting mode SUN key To switch among the display of date (normal mode), seconds, sun duration and city Press and hold for 2 seconds to enter country/state/city setting mode To stop the alarm sound To exit manual setting mode and alarm setting mode LCD SCREEN The LCD screen is split into 3 main sections displaying the information for indoor and outdoor data, time, moon phase, calendar, sunrise/sunset time, weather forecast and air pressure. 7 Time Indoor temperature in °F Moon phase indicator Sunrise time Weather forecast icon Weather tendency indicator Low battery indicator (weather station) Weekday Alarm icon Indoor humidity display in RH% Sunset time Air pressure history bar graph Relative and absolute air pressure display Outdoor humidity display in RH% Outdoor temperature in °F Outdoor MIN/MAX Low battery temperature display indicator (transmitter) Outdoor data signal reception indicator * *When the signal is successfully received by the weather station, the Outdoor reception icon will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the user can easily see 8 whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). [. . . ] Press and hold ALARM key for 2 seconds until the alarm time shown. 17 2. Press ALARM key once to confirm the setting, or exit the setting mode by pressing the SET key or SUN key. Note: To activate/deactivate the alarm function, press the ALARM key once. The display of the alarm icon represents that the alarm is "ON". Press any key will stop the alarm sound. TO EXIT SETTING MODE To exit the setting mode, wait for automatic timeout to return to normal time display. DISPLAY OF SUN DURATION TIME 1. In normal date mode, press the SUN key twice to display the sun duration time (total number of hours of sunlight on the day). (See "LOCATION SETTNG FOR SUNRISE/SUNSET TIME") Press the SUN key again to go back to normal date display. THE MOON PHASE The weather station displays 8 different moon phase icons. The current moon phase is indicated with a bar segment according to the set calendar. 18 Waxing Full Waning Last Waning New Waxing First Crescent Quarter Gibbous Moon Gibbous Quarter Crescent Moon A bar segment indicates the current moon phase WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS Weather icons can be displayed in any of the following combinations: Sun with cloud Sun Cloud with rain For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes. The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is about 330 feet / 100 meters from the transmitter to the weather station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up). POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION: The weather station comes complete with a foldout stand that gives the option of table standing or wall mounting. To wall mount: 1. Fix a screw into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out by about 0. 2" (5mm). Using the weather station hanging hole, carefully hang it onto the screw. 25 Note: Always ensures that the unit locks onto the screw head before releasing. POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER: The thermo-hygro transmitter can be placed on any flat surface or wall mount using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base. To wall mount: 1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. Note: Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature/humidity readings are receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the units or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception. 26 CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage.
