Taylor 24 Hour Forecaster 1380 - Manual (Page 8)

Temperature/Forecast Updates
The sensor probe sends temperature and weather condition infor-
mation to the base unit.
After battery installation, allow 6 hours for the unit to analyze
weather conditions and report forecasts.
Weather readings will update as follows:
• Current temperature updates approximately every 30 seconds.
• Temperature and weather forecasts update every 6 hours during
the first 24 hours of operation after battery installation.
• After 24 hours, updates occur every 1 hour.
After an extreme temperature changes (ex. relocating the sensor
from a warm indoor location to snowy outdoors), allow a few min-
utes for the temperature reading to stabilize.
Precautions
1. Always read the instruction manual before operating this product.
2. Do not immerse the base unit in water. If you spill liquid on it, dry
immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
3. The sensor probe is weather resistant but not waterproof and
should never be submerged in water. It should be placed away
from direct sunlight, rain, and snow.
4. Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive materials. This may
scratch plastic parts and corrode electronic circuits.
5. Do not subject unit to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature
or humidity. This may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life
span, damaged battery or distorted parts.
6. Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing so will
invalidate the warranty on this product and may cause damage.
The unit contains no user-serviceable parts.
7. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, Lithium,
carbon zinc (standard) or Nickel-Cadmium (rechargeable) bat-
teries. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or
leak. Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for a long
period of time.
8. The base unit is intended for indoor use only. It is not sealed
against moisture and could be damaged if used outdoors or in
humid indoor conditions.
9. Due to continuous product improvements, the illustrations shown
in this manual may differ from the actual displays.
10. If you choose to locate the sensor probe indoors (in a basement,
attic, child’s room, etc.), the sensor will not be tracking outdoor
conditions and the base unit will not be able to receive an ac-
curate weather forecast.
