Installing Batteries

1. Base station: open the battery compartment of the base station and insert Three “AAA” batteries(for backup, not included) with the correct polarity.
2. A built-in rechargeable lithium battery is installed in the remote sensor. There could be some power in the rechargeable battery before the unit leaves our manufacturing facility, we always recommend to fully recharging the remote sensor before use by following the steps below:
   a. Connect the charging cable (provided in the packaging) to your wall charger and the other plug into the charging socket located on the back of the remote sensor;
   b. Plug the wall charger into a standard AC outlet;
   c. The remote sensor will light up red;
   d. Charge the remote sensor for at least 4 hours until the light changes from red to green which indicates charging is complete.

Low Battery Warning

If the battery power (base station or remote sensor) is low, there will be a low battery icon showing on the base station display.
If the low battery icon for the base station shows up, please replace the batteries with a new one.
If the low battery icon for the remote sensor shows up, please charge the remote sensor as soon as you can.

Display Unit Selection

1. Press the °C/°F button on the back of the base station to change the temperature display unit to °C or °F.
2. Press the inHg/MB button on the back of the base station to change the barometric pressure display unit in inHg or MB (hPa).

Synchronize Remote Sensors with The Base Station

1. Place the remote sensor near the base station.

2. Once the batteries are installed in the base station, the RF indicator (located on the upper left of the outdoor temperature display section) will flash for 3 minutes, indicating that the base station is in synchronization mode: it is waiting for remote sensors to be registered.

3. Set the CHANNEL selector (on the back of the remote sensor unit) to position 1 or 2 or 3. The unit is pre-set Channel 1 and you can always leave it unchanged unless you have purchased more than 1 remote sensor.

4. 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 temperature of the remote sensor display on the base station indicates the synchronization is complete.

5. If the synchronization is not successful after 3 minutes when the batteries are installed in the base station and the RF indicator no longer flashes,
   press and hold the CHANNEL button on the back of the base station for 3-4 seconds until the RF indicator flashes again to set it back in synchronization mode;

6. If you have additional remote sensors, repeat the above steps to synchronize the additional remote sensors (up to 3 remote sensors can be registered with one base station). Please note the additional sensors should be set to a different channel.

7. If you have registered more than one sensor, press the CHANNEL button on the base station to select the remote channel you want to be displayed permanently on the base station. Press the CHANNEL button until you observe a circular arrow on the base station LCD display under the channel number, then the unit will auto-scroll, changing from channel to channel every 5

Thermometer

1. Once the remote sensor and the base station are synchronized, the indoor temperature/humidity and outdoor temperature will be both shown the base station display.

2. Maximum & Minimum Recorded Temperature & Humidity
   • Press MAX/MIN button once to display the highest indoor temperatures/ humidity and outdoor temperatures recorded. MAX is shown on the display.
   • Press MAX/MIN button again to display the lowest indoor temperatures/ humidity and outdoor temperatures recorded. MIN is shown on the display.
   • To clear and reset the max/min records, press and hold MAX/MIN for 3

3. Temperature and Humidity Trend: there are 3 types of icons on the base station display:
   • indicates the temperature and humidity are in an increasing trend.
   • indicates the temperature and humidity are in a no change trend.
   • indicates the temperature and humidity are in a decreasing trend.

Barometer

Your station provides Relative Barometric Pressure in:

• Numbers-current pressure
• History Graph- provides pressure trend for the past 24 hours

Pressure number:

• Your station will acclimate to the correct pressure without setting it yourself.
• Press the inHg/MB button on the back you can select the pressure unit of Inches of Mercury (inHg default) or Hecto Pascal (hPa).

History Graph:

• Read from left to right, your Pressure History Graph indicates the rise and fall in air pressure over the past 24 hours.
• The numbers below represent the hour in which the reading was taken. The “Oh” is the current pressure level. 0-3h” was the reading taken three hours ago, compared to the current pressure.
• The graph will scroll continually. This cannot be turned off.

Press the 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 better forecast weather in 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 five weather symbols (sunny, partially cloudy, cloudy, rainy, snow) that can best reflect the current weather condition.

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 24 hours in order to determine the forecast, only then the predicted weather forecast 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 for 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:

1. 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 the 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.
2. 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

1. 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.
2. The remote sensor (transmitter) can be placed on a flat surface indoors Make sure the sensor is within the wireless distance from the base station and with minimal obstructions. Although the remote sensor is designed to be rain-proof, it still must be always put in a dry place to avoid direct rainfall.
