[. . . ] In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, the distance between the Weather Station and the transmitter should not be more than 330 feet (100 meters) (see notes on "Positioning" and "915 MHz Reception"). 2. Note: When changing batteries in the units, ensure the batteries do not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at least 15 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur. 3. FUNCTION KEYS: Weather Station: The Weather Station has 3 easy to use function keys: 1 key on the front, and 2 keys on the back MIN/MAX key BATTERY CHANGE: It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of these units. First, insert the batteries in the transmitter (see "To install and replace batteries in the thermo-hygro transmitter" above). Within 2 minutes of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries in the Temperature Station (see "To install and replace batteries in the weather station" above). [. . . ] The user can then easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). MANUAL SETTINGS: The following manual settings can be changed when pressing the SET key for: x 12/24 time display setting x Manual time setting x Calendar setting x ºF/ºC temperature display setting Date and month 12/24 HOUR TIME DISPLAY SETTING flashing The date default of the weather station is 1.

Press the SET key again to confirm and to enter the date setting mode. Confirm all calendar settings with the SET key and "ºF/ºC temperature display setting". WEATHER FORECAST AND WEATHER TENDENCY: WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS: The weather icons in the second section of LCD can be displayed in any of the following combinations: °F/°C TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING Sunny flashing Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy The default temperature display is set to °F (degree Fahrenheit). Use the + key to toggle between "°C" and "°F". Once the desired temperature unit has been chosen, confirm with the SET key and exit the setting mode. 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 reset all units (see "Set up" above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is around 330 feet (100 meters) from the thermo-hygro 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 "Set up" above). POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER Mount in a sheltered place. The thermo-hygro transmitter can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mount using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base. POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION The weather station provides the option of table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor data can be received from the desired locations. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out by about 5mm. Place the weather station onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
