NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing, the  
batteries in the outdoor remote sensor may have  
reduced voltage supply and a shorter effective range.  
We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures  
of 32°F (0°C) and below.  
GETTING STARTED  
DIGITAL WEATHER DISPLAY  
After batteries are installed; remote sensor will transmit  
temperature and humidity data at 45 second intervals.  
The main unit may take up to two minutes to receive the  
initial readings. Upon successful reception, remote  
temperature and humidity will appear under the weather  
forecast section of the main unit’s display (the default  
remote channel is channel one). The main unit will  
automatically update readings at 45-second intervals.  
After communication between the main unit and  
remote sensor has been established, secure the remote  
sensor in the desired location.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION  
REMOTE SENSOR  
NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and  
temperature in °C or °F before mounting the remote  
sensor.  
Remove the screws from the battery compartment with  
a small Phillips screwdriver.  
• Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery  
compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only  
one remote sensor is being used.  
If no signal is received from the remote sensor within two  
minutes, dashes [- - -] will be displayed. Press and hold  
the DOWN (  
) button on the main unit for two seconds  
• Install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included)  
matching the polarities shown in the battery compartment.  
• Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.  
• Secure the remote sensor in the desired location.  
to initiate another signal search.  
PLACEMENT OF THE UNITS

REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURE &  
HUMIDITY  
PROGRAMMABLE TEMPERATURE ALARM  
This product allows manual programming of a HIGH and  
LOW temperature alarms for all three remote channels.  
Once the actual remote temperature will reach the pre-set  
high or low limits, the alarm will sound. The alarm can be  
set for temperature readings between -58 °F and 158°F.  
The remote temperature and humidity information line is  
located right below the weather forecast line of the main  
unit’s display.  
The wave icon is located above the remote channel number  
indicates the reception status from the corresponding  
remote sensor.  
To program the temperature alarm for all remote channels,  
• Press the TEMPALARM button once to enter into the  
Temperature Alarm Programming mode – the  
abbreviation "OF" will be displayed on the remote  
temperature line  
There are three following types of the reception status  
may be displayed:  
The unit is in a searching mode.  
• Press and hold TEMPALARM button until the lower  
temperature limit value (-58) will flash  
• Set the desired lower temperature limit using  
DOWN ( ) arrow button  
Temperature and humidity  
readings are securely registered.  
• Press TEMPALARM button once confirming the  
lower temperature limit value  
No signals detected.  
- - -  
• Press and hold TEMPALARM button until the HIGH  
temperature limit value ( 158) will flash

information line.  
• Press TEMPALARM button once confirming the  
higher temperature limit value  
NOTE: If the indoor or remote temperature or humidity  
goes above or below operating range stated in specifications,  
the main unit’s display ( weather station portion) will show  
dashes "- - -" on the corresponding line.  
AUTO-SCANNING  
Press and hold the CHANNEL button for 2 seconds – the

COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS  
WEATHER FORECAST  
This product is capable of detecting and displaying the  
current indoor comfort levels of surrounding environment.  
The comfort level is displayed on the weather station  
portion of the main unit’s display. It is based on the  
combination of the current indoor temperature and  
humidity readings. There are following comfort levels  
may be displayed: COMFORT (comfortable); WET (wet)  
and DRY (dry)  
This unit is capable of detecting the atmospheric pressure  
changes. Based on collected weather data, it forecasts the  
weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.

LOST COMMUNICATION  
TRANSMISSION COLLISION  
If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading  
goes blank, press and hold DOWN ( ) button for  
2 seconds to begin a new signal search. If the signal still  
isn’t received, please make sure that:  
Signals from the other household devices such as wireless  
doorbells, home security systems, and entry control, may  
interfere with this product or cause temporary reception  
interruption. This is normal and will not affect the general  
performance of the product. The transmission and  
reception of the temperature and humidity readings will  
resume once the interference subsides.  
• The remote sensor is in its proper location.  
• The distance between main unit and remote sensor(s) is  
not over 200 feet (60meters).  
• The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the  
distance if necessary.  
ANALOG CLOCK DISPLAY  
Immediately after the battery installation, the clock’s hour  
and minutes “hands” will start moving and stop at 4:00,  
8:00 or 12:00 position.  
• Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote  
sensor and main unit.  
To program the desired time,  
If there is no reception, please perform the following steps:  
• Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.  
• Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the  
remote sensor with small Phillips screwdriver, and open  
the battery compartment.  
• Press and hold the CLOCK SET button, located inside  
the battery compartment – the MINUTE and HOUR  
hands will start moving clockwise  
• Release the CLOCK SET button, once the MINUTE  
and HOUR hands have reached the desired time  
position. Immediately after releasing the CLOCK SET  
button, the SECONDS hand will start moving,  
confirming that clock is started.  
• Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and  
reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED  
indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal.  
• Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall  
them in the same manner.  
ALARM  
• On the main unit select the same channel number using  
CHANNEL button as set on the remote sensor. The  
remote temperature and humidity appeared on the main  
unit’s display will show that transmission is being  
received successfully.  
To set the time alarm,  
• Turn the ALARM knob, moving the ALARM hand  
(smallest from three) to the desired alarm time  
• Release the ALARM knob  
• Slide ON/OFF switch to the ON position  
DISABLING THE ALARM  
Slide the ON/OFF switch on the main unit to the OFF  
position disabling the clock’s alarm.  
SNOOZE  
When the time alarm sounds, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT  
button to temporarily stop it. After the SNOOZE/LIGHT is  
depressed, the time alarm sound will resume in four minutes.  
If the alarm is not disabled after that, it will sound for two  
more minutes and then will stop by itself.
