Arrow  
Indicator  
Note: When the temperature falls below the freezing point  
the batteries in the remote sensor(s) will freeze  
lowering their voltage output and effective range.  
During prolonged periods of extreme cold it is  
advisable to bring the remote sensor indoors, if  
alkaline batteries are being used. We recommend  
to use lithium ion batteries at temperatures below 32˚F.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURE  
The maximum and minimum records of the indoor and  
remote temperature will be automatically stored in the  
memory.  
TRANSMISSION COLLISION  
Signals from other household devices, such as door bells,  
home security systems and entry controls, may interfere  
with this product and cause temporary reception failure.  
This is normal and does not affect the general performance  
of the product. The transmission and reception of the  
temperature readings will resume once the interference ends.  
The main unit will display the minimum, maximum and  
the current reading upon each press of the MEM button.  
If the MEM button is not pressed, the unit will return to  
the current temperature display in 15 seconds.  
To clear the memory, press and hold MEM for 3 seconds.  
The maximum and minimum readings will be erased.  
CHECKING REMOTE AND  
INDOOR TEMPERATURE  
The indoor temperature is shown on the third line of the  
main unit display. The remote temperature is shown below  
the top line of the display. The wave icon near the remote  
temperature reading indicates that there is a good signal  
reception from the remote sensor.

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME  
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)  
radio station, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits  
the exact time signal continuously throughout the continental  
United States at 60KHz. Wireless Weather Forecaster can  
receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna  
from the distance up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature  
of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during  
the daytime. The radio control clock will search for a signal  
every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio  
station receives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in  
Boulder, Colorado.

The barometric pressure arrows indicate if pressure is  
rising, steady or faling.

SPECIFICATIONS  
Temperature Measurement  
Main unit  
* Within concrete rooms (basements, superstructures,  
office buildings), the received signal will be weakened,  
and the main unit should be placed close to a window.  
* The successful reception of the atomic time signal depends  
on the positioning and location of the main unit. Always  
place the main unit by the window for better reception.  
* During the night-time, the atmospheric disturbances are  
usually less severe and reception may be improved.  
A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the  
accuracy reading within 1 second.
