Taylor WeatherGuide Deluxe Weather Forecaster with Barometer Instruction Manual

Welcome to the Taylor® WeatherGuide™ System. Simple, reliable, accurate…it allows you to monitor indoor or outdoor locations from one room. The base unit reads indoor conditions, while the remote sensor wirelessly reports outdoor weather conditions back to the base unit for an all-in-one weather display.

NOTE: Some units have a static cling label over the digital display. Please remove before use.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The base unit operates on 2 AA batteries (not included). The remote sensor operates on 2 AA batteries (not included). Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.

IMPORTANT: Power the base unit first, and then the remote sensor, otherwise the units’ transmissions may not properly connect. Place the base unit as close as possible to the remote sensor during set up

TIP: When the temperature falls below freezing point, alkaline batteries used in outdoor units may freeze, lowering their voltage supply and effective range. Use of Lithium batteries is recommended in extremely cold or hot locations.

Base Unit

The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit. Remove the battery compartment door. Install (2) AA size batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity markings. Replace the battery compartment door.

Remote Sensor

The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit. Remove the battery compartment cover. Install (2) AA size batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity markings. Replace the battery compartment door.

After Powering Up the Units:

When the units are powered up, the LCD screens will light up for 3 seconds and the base unit will beep. The base unit will begin to display indoor temperature and humidity. The outdoor temperature and humidity displays will show dashes “(–)”.

Allow at least 3 minutes for the base unit to connect with the remote sensor and analyze current outdoor temperature conditions. A transmission signal icon flashes next to the channel icon on the base unit during this time. The icon will disappear after 3 minutes when analysis is complete. (Outdoor temperature and humidity readings may appear while the icon is still flashing, as it takes the unit longer to analyze other forecasting conditions.)

If after 3 minutes the transmission signal icon Signal
icon stops flashing and dashes remain, press and hold the “CH” button on the back of the base unit for 2 seconds to send another signal to the remote sensor.Alternately, press and hold the “TX” button in the remote sensor’s battery compartment for 2 seconds to cause the sensor to search for the base unit again during its next transmission. The transmission signal icon Signal
icon will flash as the base unit searches for the remote sensor’s signal. For best setup connection, keep the base unit and remote close to each other while trying to connect. Keep away from other electronic equipment that may interfere with the connections, such as mobile phones, appliances, computers, refrigerators, TVs, etc.

Indoor temperature and humidity readings update on the base unit every 60 seconds. The first remote registered transmits outdoor temperature and humidity readings every 69 seconds.

If a second remote is registered, it will transmit every 73 seconds.
If a third remote is registered, it will transmit every 77 seconds

A red light and an “ ” icon on the remote sensor flash when a signal is sent. The transmission signal icon flashes on the base unit when the signal is received.

Notes: While the base unit is in the 3 minute “analyzing” mode, only the Snooze/Backlight and “-” buttons are operational. Some functions may not be operational, or using the functions will interrupt the transmission reception. Once the “analyzing” mode is complete, the other functions will become operational. (Pressing Snooze/Backlight will activate a 5 second backlight. Pressing “-” will stop the “analyzing” mode.) Depending on when the units are powered up, there may be a delay between when the remote sensor’s LCD screen updates and those readings appear on the base unit.

ADDITIONAL REMOTE SENSORS

A maximum of 3 remote sensor units can be used with the base unit; one is included. Should you purchase one or two additional remote units (Model 1739, sold separately), first install batteries in the remote, and then slide the CH switch inside the remote’s battery compartment to select Channel 2 or Channel 3. The Channel number assigned will appear on the remote’s LCD screen

When the base unit is powered up, it will go into “analyzing” mode for 3 minutes, indicated by a flashing Signal icon icon by the “OUT” temperature display. If batteries are installed in all the remotes during this time, the base unit will connect with all the sensors. If you choose to add a second or third remote later, first install batteries in the remote, slide the CH switch in the battery compartment to select Channel 2 or Channel 3, then press and hold the “CH” button on the back of the base unit for 2 seconds. This will start the 3 minute “analyzing” mode, during which the base unit searches for remote sensors again and will connect with the new sensor.

Press the “CH” button on the back of the base unit to switch between Channel 1, 2, or 3 displays. Or select the auto scroll option to automatically view each remote sensor’s readings for 5 seconds.

Notes: if the base unit is in Radio Clock Signal Search mode, the Remote Sensor Search mode is not available. (A flashing radio antenna icon in in the top right by the clock display indicates the base unit is in Radio Clock Signal Search mode.) Wait for the Radio Clock Signal Search to end, or press the “DOWN” button to cancel the Radio Clock Signal Search. Press and hold the “CH” button for 2 seconds to search for the remote sensor(s). Once the base and remote sensor(s) are connected, press and hold the “DOWN” button for 2 seconds if you wish to search for the Radio Clock Signal again.

If a Channel is not assigned to a remote sensor, the base unit will display dashes “( -)” instead of Outdoor Temperature and Humidity readings.

DISPLAYING YOUR WEATHERGUIDE™

Base unit

Place the base unit indoors in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight.
Table top – pull the bottom of the Table Stand located on the back of the base unit to set it on a flat surface. Wall – use the keyhole on the back of the base unit to hang on a wall using a screw or nail (not included).

Remote sensor

Table top – place the sensor on a flat surface.
Wall – use the keyhole on the back of the remote to hang on a wall using a nail or screw (not included).

The transmission range of the remote sensor is 200 feet. The effective transmission range is vastly affected by obstacles such as walls, sheds, trees, etc. Try various set ups for the best results. Shorten the distance between the base and remote units when necessary. To get the most accurate readings and to prolong the life of your sensor, we recommend that you mount it out of direct sunlight and rain. Direct sunlight will heat the casing and inflate temperatures readings. Place the sensor in a dry, shaded area. Fog and mist will not affect the sensor, but large volumes of soaking rain may. To guard against this, we recommend that you mount it under the eve of your house, your garage or any other suitable place that will keep it out of direct sun and rain.

Important: Though the remote unit is weather resistant, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and should never be submerged in water.

TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY READINGS

The base unit displays the indoor temperature and humidity readings from its location. These readings appear next to the “IN” icon in the lower part of the screen.

The remote sensor transmits outdoor temperature and humidity readings from its location back to the base unit. These readings appear next to the “OUT” icon in the lower part of the screen.

If using more than one remote sensor, press the “CH” button on the back of the base unit to switch between remote sensor readings. A Channel icon indicates which sensor’s readings are displayed.

Auto Scroll option: The icon indicates the auto scroll option is on. The base unit will automatically scroll between remote sensor readings and display each for 8 seconds. To turn on the auto scroll, press the “CH” until an icon appears between the “OUT” and channel icons. To turn off the auto scroll, press “CH” to switch to another channel. The icon disappear and auto scroll is off.
Notes: If only one remote sensor is in use, the auto scroll option is not available. If two remote sensors are in use, the channel not assigned a remote will show dashes (“–”) as it is not receiving any data.

To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature displays:

Base unit – Press the “°C/°F” button on the back of the unit to change the temperature display on the base unit.
Remote sensor – Press the “°C/°F” button inside the battery compartment of the remote sensor to change the temperature display on the remote sensor.

Notes: The base unit will display the temperature scale selected for it, regardless of the remote sensor’s setting. If the temperature or humidity is higher than the range of the unit, the display will show “HH.H”. If the temperature or humidity is lower, the display will show “LL.L”.

CLOCK FEATURES

A) WWVB Radio Control Clock Setting

The Clock display is located at the top of the base unit’s screen. In North America, the signals received by radio controlled clocks originate from NIST Radio Station WWVB, which is located near Fort Collins, Colorado. The base unit will automatically start searching for the WWVB Radio Clock Signal for 7 minutes after the batteries are installed and the 3 minute analyzing time is up. (If this does not occur, press and hold the “DOWN” button on the back of the unit for 2 seconds to force a search for the Radio Clock Signal. The radio antenna icon flashes while the unit is searching for the Radio Clock Signal.) Once the base unit has picked up the Radio Clock Signal, it will synchronize the clock to the WWVB time. The icon will remain steady on the screen when clock synchronization is successful.

The radio-controlled clock will have a daily synchronization at 1:00 am, 2:00 am and 3:00 am every day. If these attempts are unsuccessful, the base unit will automatically attempt to synchronization at the next full hour. This attempt is automatically repeated up to 5 times that day.

Please note: If the signal is weak, it may take 24-48 hours for the clock to acquire the Radio Clock Signal and update the time. In the meantime, the clock may be manually set. Once the radio signal is found, it will override the manually programmed time and date.

If the clock does not update after 48 hours, follow the suggestions below. Then press and hold the “DOWN” button on the back of the unit for 2 seconds to send a search for the radio signal again. Check back again 24-48 hours later to see if the clock has synchronized.

a). Try another location later away from possible sources of interference, such as mobile phones, appliances, computers, refrigerators, TVs, etc.
b). Radio reception can be weaker in rooms with metal or concrete walls (such as basements) and in offices. Try placing the base unit close to a window for reception.
c). Daytime conditions such as sunlight and other atmospheric interference can affect synchronization; try setting the clock during evening hours.

Note: While searching for the radio signal, only the “SNOOZE/LIGHT” and “DOWN” buttons function. All other button are inactive until the icon either remains steady (synchronization complete) or stops blinking (synchronization not yet complete). To stop the radio signal search to use other functions, press the “DOWN” button to exit radio signal search mode. To start the search again, press and hold the “DOWN” button for 2 seconds.

Icy conditions may begin to occur when the current temperature falls below 39.2°F (4°C). A snowflake icon will automatically appear in the center of the screen when the current temperature at a remote sensor’s location is below 39.2°F (4°C) to warn of possible icy conditions. The icon will disappear when the temperature rises above that temperature.

If using more than one remote sensor, the ice alert will automatically be set for all the sensors. If one or more sensor’s temperature falls within the icy range, the alert will trigger on the base unit. Press the “CH” button on the back of the base unit to scroll between channels to see at which remote sensor’s location the temperature is in the ice alert range.

MOON PHASE

The Moon Phase automatically displays in the bottom center of the base unit screen according to the current calendar. Tide levels will display as H, M or L (High, Medium, Low) based on the current Moon Phase

New Moon -The Moon’s dark side is facing the Earth. The moon is not visible (except during a solar eclipse).
Waxing Crescent – The Moon is partly lit by direct sunlight. The moon’s visibility is increasing.
First Quarter – One-half of the Moon is lit. The moon’s visibility is increasing.
Waxing Gibbous — The Moon is more than half-lit. The moon’s visibility is increasing.
Full Moon -The Moon’s lit side I is facing the Earth. The moon appears to be fully illuminated.
Waning Gibbous – The Moon is I more than half-lit. The moon’s visibility is decreasing.
Last Quarter – One-half of the I Moon is lit. The moon’s visibility is decreasing.
Waning Crescent -The Moon is partly lit by direct sunlight. The moon’s visibility is decreasing.
The cycle will repeat with a New Moon.

LOW BATTERY

Base unit: replace the batteries if readings grow dim or irregular.

Remote sensor: replace the batteries if the red light on the sensor stops flashing, or if transmission signals seem weak or irregular.

Always replace all batteries in each unit at the same time; do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries

NOTE: Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let children handle batteries. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the units will not be used for a long period of time.

PROBLEM SOLVING

If the base unit does not receive a transmission from the remote sensor for one hour, the outdoor temperature and humidity displays will show dashes (“- -”). Press and hold for 2 seconds the “CH” button on the back of the base unit to force a transmission signal from the base to the remote sensor. Press and hold the “TX” button in the remote sensor’s battery compartment for 2 seconds to cause the sensor to search for the base unit again during its next transmission. If the connection still fails:
- a) Check that the remote is properly positioned, within the appropriate transmission range (200 feet). Transmissions are vastly affected by building materials and where the receiver and remote units are positioned. Try various set ups for the best results. Shorten the distance between receiver and remote units when necessary.
- b) Check to make sure the transmission path is clear of obstacles and interference.
- c) Place the remote sensor closer to the base unit.
- d) Remove and reinstall all batteries. Try fresh batteries
. If the temperature or humidity is higher than the range of the unit, the display will show “HH.H”. If the temperature or
humidity is lower, the display will show “LL.L”.
- Indoor temperature range is 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C).
- Outdoor temperature range transmitted by remote sensor is -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) using alkaline batteries. (Use of Lithium batteries can extend the range to -40°F to 140°F / -40°C to 60°C.)
- Indoor and outdoor humidity range is 20-95% RH.
If the barometric pressure reading is higher than the range of the unit, the display will show “HHHH”. If the barometric pressure is lower, the display will show “LLLL”.
The temperature sensors are manufactured to the accurate within plus or minus 2°F (1°C) within a temperature range from 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C) and plus or minus 4°F (2°C) outside that range. Therefore, 2 units placed next to each other may report different readings. This is a normal occurrence with digital sensors and should not be considered a defect.
For maximum performance in normal conditions, good quality alkaline batteries are recommended. When temperatures are below 0°F, alkaline batteries can lose power resulting in a loss of remote transmission. If you reside in an area that experiences frequent temperatures near or below 0°F, lithium batteries are recommended to minimize the loss of transmission.
If no buttons are functioning, the base unit may be in the process of searching for the WWVB radio signal, indicated by the radio antenna icon icon blinking next to the clock display. Wait for the base unit to stop the radio signal search (this may take up to 7 minutes, or press “DOWN” on the back of the base unit to exit Radio Signal Search Mode

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

Signals from other household devices, such as doorbells, home security systems and entry controls, may interfere. This is normal and does not affect the general performance of this product. The transmission will resume once the interference recedes.

Important: Though the remote sensor is weather resistant, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and should never be submerged in water. Also please note that below 32ºF / 0ºC the LCD readout on the remote sensor may begin to fail to display. When this happens the remote will still transmit correct temperature readings to the receiver unit but cannot be viewed at the remote location. When the temperature rises above 32ºF / 0ºC the display will begin to function normally again.

PRECAUTIONS

The base unit is intended for indoor use only. It is not sealed against moisture and could be damaged if used outdoors. The remote sensor is weather-resistant but not weather-proof or waterproof. Do not immerse it in water or allow snow to accumulate on it. Do not leave it outdoors in extreme weather conditions. If these conditions become likely to occur, temporarily move the sensor to an indoor area. Otherwise, permanent damage to the sensor’s internal circuits may occur.
Do not immerse the units in water. If you spill liquid on one, dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not clean the units with abrasive or corrosive materials. This may scratch plastic parts and corrode electronic circuits.
Do not subject units to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity. This may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged batteries or distorted parts.
Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty on this product and may cause damage. The units contain no user-serviceable parts.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the units will not be used for a long period of time.
