ENVIRONMENTAL RECEPTION EFFECTS
The weather station obtains the accurate time and outdoor transmitter data with wireless technology.
Same as all wireless devices, the reception is maybe affected by the following circumstances:
•
long transmitting distance
•
nearby mountains and valleys
•
near freeway, railway, airports, high voltage cable etc.
•
near construction site
•
among tall buildings
•
inside concrete buildings
•
near electrical appliances (computers, TV's, etc) and metallic structures
•
inside moving vehicles
Place the weather station at a location with optimal signal, i.e. close to a window and away from metal
surfaces or electrical appliances.
QUICK SETUP
Step 1 Plug in the AC/DC adaptor to any AC household outlet. Then plug in the power jack to the back
of the weather station.
Step 2 Slide open the battery cover at the back of the weather station and insert 3 x AAA batteries
(not included) into the battery compartment by observation the correct +/- polarity. Replace the battery
cover.
Step 3 Keep the weather station and outdoor transmitter next to each other. Slide opens the battery
cover at the back of the outdoor transmitter. Make sure the channel selector on the back of the
outdoor transmitter is set at position 1 (right position) and insert 2 x AAA batteries (not
included) into the battery compartment by observation the correct +/- polarity. Replace
the battery cover. The weather station will receive data signal from the outdoor transmitter
in few seconds.
Keep in mind that the outdoor transmitter has a maximum open-area transmission of 30
meter with no obstructions. Actual transmission range will depend on any obstruction in
the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will
effectively cut signal range in half.
Note:
•
After the weather station has received the outdoor temperature from outdoor transmitter, it will
start to search for the DCF-time-signal. This may take overnight. In case the weather station does
not receive the DCF-time-signal, set the clock manually.
•
During any reception of DCF-time-signal, the thermometer does not take temperature
measurement. After first time installation, the temperature readings will get stable and become
more accurate in around 30 minutes.
Using further outdoor transmitters
Note: Up to 3 outdoor transmitters are receivable by the weather station.
Press CHANNEL button to choose the outdoor transmitter channel. The sequence is CH1 – CH2 – CH3.
Press and hold CHANNEL button for 3 seconds to clear the channel and search for an outdoor
transmitter.
While using more than one outdoor transmitter, the data from each outdoor transmitter can be
received separately.
Make sure for each outdoor transmitter a different channel number is set:
Open the battery compartments of the outdoor transmitters and slide the channel selector to a desired
channel position (1,2 or 3). Press TX button to send a signal to the weather station.
