Setup and Initial Use
Before placing and installing all components of the weather station at there final destina-
tion, please set up the weather station with all parts being nearby for testing the correct
function.
Setting up the base station and transmitter
Insert two pieces of LR6 (AA size) batteries into the transmitter, the LED located in the
middle front case of transmitter will be turned on for 4 seconds, then it will be off and start
to work normally. The transmitter will make a data transmission and then start radio cont-
rolled time reception routine. If time signal can be detected correctly, the LED will start to
flash 5 times, and then the LED will be on for 20s, indicating time signal has been found
correctly. When time signal is bad and reception is not possible, the transmitter will ter-
minate radio controlled time reception within one minute and resume normal mode. When
there is a data transmission happened, the LED will be on for 20s. During radio controlled
time reception period, there is no transmission and normal transmission will only resume
after time reception routine is complete. The longest time for radio controlled time recep-
tion is 5 minutes.
After inserting the batteries into the Weather Station, all LCD segments will be turned on for
a few seconds, all possible display segments are turned on for checking.
After this, the weather station will make initial measurement and start to register the trans-
mitter (the radio reception icon will be turned on). Do not press any key before outdoor
sensor data received, otherwise the outdoor sensor learning mode will be terminated. When
outdoor transmitter has been registered, the base station will automatically switch to the
normal display mode from which all further settings can be performed by the user.
If no RCC signal is detected in the initial setup, the transmitter will try once every 6 hours to
get an RCC signal until a signal is received. Once the transmitter receives the RCC signal it
will transmit the signal to the monitor. On the monitor the RCC icon will be displayed, if the
monitor doesn't receive the RCC signal or loses the signal the RCC icon will not be display.
Register transmitter
If no outdoor weather data is displayed or the signal to the sensors is lost during setting
up, mounting, hold the RESET button of outdoor sensor and re-insert the batteries of base
station to synchronize the base station to sensors. Without being synchronized, weather
data will not be received. Wait two minutes before re-insert the batteries of transmitter for
proper reset.
Note: The best condition for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00 AM,
when there is less atmospheric interference.
