Getting Started

1. Insert batteries into the weather station monitor. (3 x 1.5 V AAA not included)
2. Insert batteries into the wireless sensor. (2 x 1.5 V AAA not included)
3. When inserting the batteries make sure the polarity is correct to avoid damaging the weather station or sensor. Only use alkaline batteries of the same type; do not use rechargeable batteries.
4. Place the two units next to each other. The weather station will automatically detect the sensor signal within 3 minutes. If signal from the sensor is not detected, long-press the button on the weather station to repeat the search. Refer to page.8 for more info.
5. We recommend placing the sensor on the north side of the house. The range of the sensor may decrease substantially in areas with a large number of obstacles.
6. The sensor is resistant to water mist; however, it should not be exposed to sustained rain.
7. Do not place the sensor onto metal objects as this will reduce its transmission range.
8. f the low battery icon is displayed, replace batteries in the sensor or weather station.

Manual Setting
All changes in values are made using buttons and . After setting the desired value and not pressing any other buttons, the set values will automatically save and the display will switch to the main screen.

Switching Channel and Connecting Additional Sensors

1. Press and hold the channel button until you hear a beep sound. The signal reception symbol will appear and start pulsing, searching to pair with the wireless sensor.
2. Unscrew the cover of the battery compartment on the rear of the wireless sensor and set the sensor switch to the desired sensor channel number (1, 2, 3), then insert batteries (2×1.5 V AAA).
3. The monitor should automatically display the wireless sensor data after a short while.
4. If it does not pair with the wireless sensor then you can press the pairing button on the back of the sensor to automatically pair.
5. Once pairing is successful long-press the button to exit searching mode and the button will stop pulsing.

Displaying Data from Multiple Sensors
Press the button repeatedly to display data from all connected wireless sensors on the weather station, one by one. You can also activate cycling through data from all connected wireless sensors:

1. Turning on cycling Repeatedly press the button until the display shows the icon. Data from all 3 wireless sensors will be shown automatically and repeatedly one after another.
2. Turning off cycling Repeatedly press the button until the icon disappears.

Setting Time, Date and Time Zone

1. Short press the button
2. Press the button for 3 seconds and use the and buttons to set the following values: Year, Date format, Month, Day, 12/24 H Time format, Hour, Minute, Second.
3. Confirm the set value by pressing the button; holding the arrow keys speeds up settings.

Alarm Settings
2 Alarms can be set on the weather station.

1. Short-press the button twice
2. Press the button for 3 seconds and use the arrows to set the alarm hour and minutes.
3. Confirm the set value by pressing ; holding the arrow keys speeds up settings.

Alarm Activation/Deactivation/Snooze

Repeatedly pressing the button activates alarm 1 (AL1); alarm 2 (AL2); or both alarms at the same time (AL1, AL2); or deactivates the alarms. You can postpone (snooze) the alarm by 5 minutes by pressing the button. After pressing, the icons will start flashing. Turn off the alarm by pressing button. After pressing, the icons will stop flashing and will remain on the screen. The alarm will activate again the next day.

Setting Altitude and Atmospheric Pressure
The station shows atmospheric pressure in hPa or in Hg and keeps a history of pressure readings for the last 12 hours. To achieve a more accurate calculation of pressure values, it is advised to manually set the altitude for the place where the weather station is being used.

1. Short-press the button three times
2. Press the button for 3 seconds and use the arrows to set altitude between -90 m to +1,990 m (10m increments).
3. Pressing the button switches between M/hpa and Ft/in Hg units.
4. Short-press the button to quit settings.

Setting Temperature Limits for Max/Min Temps
Temperature limits can be set independently for up to 3 outdoor temperature wireless sensors. When minimum or maximum temperature limit is activated, the (min) or (max) icon will appear on the screen and disappear after deactivation.

Temperature limit ranges

Setting Temperature Limits for Max/Min Temps cont…
While on the main screen, repeatedly press the button to switch to sensor 1, 2 or 3 and proceed for each sensor as follows.

1. Short press the button four times.
2. Press the button for 3 seconds and set the minimum outdoor temperature.
3. Short press the button and activate (ON)/deactivate (OFF) the outdoor minimum temperature alert.
4.  Short press the button and set the maximum outdoor temperature.
5. Short press the button and activate (ON)/deactivate (OFF) the outdoor maximum temperature alert.
6. Short press the button and set the minimum indoor temperature.
7. Short press the button and activate (ON)/deactivate (OFF) the indoor minimum temperature alert.
8. Short press the button and set the maximum indoor temperature.
9. Short press the button and activate (ON)/deactivate (OFF) the indoor maximum temperature alert.

When the set temperature limit is exceeded, an audio alarm will sound for 1 minute and the value will begin flashing. Pressing any button on the screen cancels the alert sound, but the symbol of an active alert will continue flashing. Once temperature drops below the set limit, the symbol on the screen will stop flashing.

Displaying Max/Min Readings of Temp and Humidity
Press the button to cycle between the current, minimum and maximum temperature and humidity values measured. The memory of measured values is automatically erased every day at 00:00. Or long press the button to erase the memory automatically.

Station Display Backlight
When powered only by 3× 1.5 V AAA batteries: Display backlighting is off. Pressing the Snooze/Light button will turn the display backlight on for 5 seconds, then it turns off again. When the station is only powered by batteries, permanent backlighting of the display cannot be activated!

Note : The inserted batteries serve as backup for the measured/set data. If batteries are not inserted and you unplug the USB cable, all data will be erased.

When powered via USB to DC jack cable:

Permanent backlighting is set automatically. Repeatedly pressing the Snooze/Light button will allow you to set 4 different levels of permanent backlighting (off, maximum, medium, low).

Weather Forecast
The station forecasts weather on the basis of changes in atmospheric pressure for the next 12­24 hours for an area within the range of 15­20 km. The accuracy of weather forecast is 70­75 %. The forecast icon is displayed in field no. 7. As the weather forecast may not always be 100 % accurate, neither the manufacturer nor the seller can be held responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. After first setting or after resetting the weather station, a learning mode will be activated, indicated by LEARNING… appearing on the screen The station will evaluate measured data and continuously increase the accuracy of forecast. This mode continues for 14 days, then the LEARNING… icon automatically disappears.

1. Sunny;
2. Cloudy;
3. Overcast;
4. Raining/snowing;
5. Heavy rain/heavy snow
