5. Plug the wall charger into a standard AC outlet.
6. The remote sensor will light up red.
7. Charge the remote sensor until the light changes from red to green which indicates charging is completed.

Low Battery Warning
If the battery power in the base station or remote sensor is low, a low battery icon will display on the base station. If the low battery icon for base station appears, please replace the batteries. If the low battery icon for remote sensor appears, please charge the remote sensor.

Synchronize Remote Sensors with The Base Station

• Place the remote sensor near the base station.
• Once the batteries are installed in the base station, the RF indicator (located in the upper left of the outdoor temperature display section) will flash for 3 minutes, indicating that the base station is in Synchronization Mode and waiting for remote sensors to be synced.
• Set the CHANNEL selector (on the back of the remote sensor) to position 1 or 2 or 3.
• The unit is pre-set to Channel 1 and you can always leave it unchanged unless you have purchased more than 1 remote sensor.
• Press and hold the ON/OFF button on the back of the remote sensor for 2 seconds to turn on the remote sensor, then wait for a moment until the remote sensor displays on the base station.
• If the synchronization is unsuccessful after 3 minutes after the batteries.were installed in the base station and the RF indicator is no longer flashing, press and hold the CHANNEL button on the back of the base station for 3-4 seconds until the RF indicator begins to flash again indicating it’s back in Synchronization Mode.
• If you have additional remote sensors, repeat the above steps to synchronize the additional remote sensors up to 3 remote sensors can be synced to one base station.
• Please note the additional sensors should be set to a different channel.
• If you have registered the base station to select the remote sensor you want displayed permanently  than one sensor, press the CHANNEL button on on the base station.
• Press CHANNEL button until you observe a circular arrow Con the base station LCD display next to the channel number, then the unit will uto scrol, changing from channel to channel every 5 seconds.

• The graph will scroll continually.
• This cannot be turned off.
• Press HISTORY button on the back of the base station to show the actual barometric pressure value in the past 1 to 12 hours.

Weather Forecast

The initial current weather condition should be set before the weather station can accurately forecast the weather for the next 12-24 hours. Press the WEATHER button on the back of the base station and the weather symbols on the top of the screen will change. Choose one of six weather symbols (sunny, partially cloudy,cloudy, rainy, thunderstorms, snow) that best reflects the current weather conditions.

 Interpreting the weather forecast symbols

The weather station requires at least 24 hours for it to acclimatize to local weather conditions. The weather station process and analyze the weather patterns including temperature and barometric pressure change for the past 24hours in order to determine. the forecast onlv then the Predictad weatherforecast will reflect the actual weather for your immediate area. Until that time has elapsed, the predicted weather forecast may not accurately reflect the actual weather tor your immediate area. The weather station will display the symbols to Indicate the predicted weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours for an area within a radius of approximately 20-30 miles or 30-50 km.

Note
The weather forecasting is approximately 70% accurate. The accuracy rate might be lower in extreme weather conditions. The weather forecasting is for reference and for domestic use only. Do NOT rely on the weather station for weather forecast for any serious matters such as health, business and financial decisions and/or agricultural planning and certainly not for life and death situations. b. The weather forecast does not display the current weather. It displays the weather for the next 12-24 hours.

Place the Base Station and Remote Sensor

The indoor base station (receiver) should always be placed in a well ventilated indoor area and located away from vents, heating or cooling elements, direct sunlight, windows, doors, or any other openings. The remote sensor transmitter can be placed on a flat surface indoor or outdoor. Make sure the sensor is within the wireless distance from the base station and with minimal obstructions. Although the remote sensors designed to be rain proof, it still must be always put in a dry place to avoid direct rainfall.

Purchasing Additional Remote Sensors
