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.
