General Warnings and advice

The units should not be exposed to direct sunlight, very high or low temperatures, strong magnetic fields, high frequencies and dusty environments.

The main weather station unit is for indoor use only, the sensor(s) can be positioned outside but should be sheltered from the rain and mounted vertically so that any moisture drains out they should be well ventilated and must not be immersed in water.

Never attempt to insert wires, pins or other such objects into the vents or openings of the unit.

Do not disassemble or modify the units, there are no user serviceable parts. If the units are damaged or malfunction do not use. Consult a qualified service engineer.

Introduction and Features

The i-Star weather station combines a full range of weather measurements and weather forecasting with a digital alarm clock with snooze function.

The main display unit is supplied with a wireless remote sensor which can transmit temperature and humidity readings from an outdoor location or elsewhere in the home from up to 100m away (in an open area). The main unit can also receive and display readings from a further two sensors not supplied. Both the sensor and main unit can be freestanding or wall mounted.

Powering, positioning and mounting the units

The MAIN UNIT can be powered either by connection to a powered USB socket using the cable provided A or insert 3 AAA batteries (not supplied) into the battery compartment B . Try to position the main unit and sensor so that there are as few solid walls/obstacles as possible between them.

Position out of direct sunlight.

Position 1.5-2m away from possible sources of interference such as TV or monitor screens.

Don’t place the main unit close to metal window frames.

You can hang the main unit from a hook or screw using the keyhole slot on the back of the unit C .

Alternatively unclip the 2 metal rests E from the battery compartment and screw them into the sockets D on the back of the unit.

Slide open the battery compartment of the SENSOR F and insert 2x AA batteries G . Set a channel number (1-3) H and replace the cover. You can now position the sensor vertically on a flat surface, or hanging from a hook or screw either using the keyhole slot I on the back of the unit or by threading a cord through the top hole J . Position 1.5-2m above the ground.

Sensor Setup

Place the sensor close to the main unit and insert 2x AA batteries (see page 3).

Use the slide switch on the sensor H to set a channel number 1, 2 or 3. Use the CHANNEL button 25 on the main unit to select the same Channel number on the display 9 . The red LED on the sensor will flash. The weather station will automatically receive the sensor signal once powered and after a short time a temperature 8 and humidity 11 reading will appear automatically on the display.

You can now position the sensor outdoors or elsewhere indoors.

If the sensor readings don’t appear, press and hold the CHANNEL button 25 for at least 2 seconds to manually restart the RF connection.

If the sensor signal is lost after 2 hours, “–.-” will be displayed in the corresponding CH. In normal operation the sensor LED will flash twice approximately every 2~2.5 minutes.

The weather station can support a total of 3 remote sensors which can be positioned out doors or around the home.

Setting the Alarm

You can set the alarm for all days of the week (MO-SU) or for weekdays only (MO-FR)

Confirm and exit

Once an alarm time has been set, short press the ALARM button 24 to switch it on or off when the alarm is on the alarm icon 8 will be displayed.

Stop Alarm / Snooze

When the alarm is Beeping press the SNOOZE Button 22 to stop the alarm for 5 minutes and the icon will be displayed. Press any other button to cancel the alarm sound.

Setting the Alerts

You can set an Alert to warn you when the selected sensor registers a particular high or low set temperature. (Max. High +70ºC (+158ºF), Min. Low – 40ºC (-40ºF)).

You can set different high and low temperatures for each sensor selected.

Press the button 26 to switch alerts On / Off

The ALERT icon appears below the Channel icons when alerts are switched on

When the alert high or low temperature set is reached the Alert will Beep for 60 seconds and the ALERT icon will flash.

Barometer and Weather Forecast

The weather icons displaying (Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rain, Snow) are based on the hourly calculation of indoor/outdoor temperature humidity and atmospheric pressure data. The forecast station uses changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather conditions for the next 12 hours with 70-75% accuracy.

Barometric (air) pressure range measured: 800hpa~1100hPa (600mmHg-832 mmHg). Barometric pressure units hPa/mB or mmHg can be set to display Air pressure varies according to location and altitude. To ensure the optimum accuracy of your weather forecasts you can reset the pressure to match local pressure once you have looked it up on line.

You can enter your postcode at sites like https://weather.com/ to find the current air pressure at your location.

To adjust relative air pressure, power off your weather station then press and hold the buttons simultaneously as the unit is powered on again, “ CAL” will be displayed in the calendar area and the atmospheric pressure reading will flash, press to change the value to match the value you have looked up, press to confirm, the atmospheric pressure digit area will display “God”, Full indicators will display for 1 second and then display will return to normal.

Temperature and Humidity

Current Outdoor temperature and humidity readings are displayed in white in the centre right of the screen. Current Indoor temperature and humidity readings are displayed in yellow at the bottom of the screen.

Press repeatedly to display MAX and MIN values recorded.

Troubleshooting

If there are no sensor readings or a poor signal showing please check if sensor:

Is out of range, the signal is blocked by obstacles, batteries are flat, there is interference from other electronic or wireless equipment.

To prevent please do not use other wireless products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency.
