QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.
1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor 3 to 5 feet apart.
2. Batteries should be out of both the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor units for 10
minutes.
3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature/humidity sensor first then into the indoor weather station.
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.
In this time the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will
show the indoor temperature/humidity, outdoor temperature/humidity, heat index and dew point. If the indoor weather station
does not display all information after the 15 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After all information has been
displayed for 15 minutes you can place your sensors outdoors and set your time.
Important Notes on Set-up and Operation
• The remote temperature/humidity sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area.
• Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature/humidity sensor but direct rain must be avoided.
• The remote temperature/humidity sensor has a range of 330 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through will
reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window can have up to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall can have up to 20 feet of
resistance. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 330 ft. in a straight line.
• The remote temperature/humidity sensor transmits a signal every minute. After the batteries have been installed, the indoor
weather station will search for the signal for a duration of 4 minutes. If there is no temperature or humidity reading in the
OUTDOOR LCD after 4 minutes, make sure the units are within range of each other, or repeat the battery installation
procedure.
• If a button is pressed before the indoor weather station receives the signal from the remote temperature/humidity sensor, you
will need to follow the battery installation procedure again.
To complete the set up of your new wireless weather station after the 15 minutes have passed please follow the steps that follow in
the Detailed Set-Up Guide.
