QUICK SETUP OF THE WIRELESS WEATHER STATION
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. For best
performance and longest life we recommend using RadioShack alkaline batteries.
1. Have the indoor weather station, remote temperature sensor and remote rain sensor 3 to 5
feet apart.
2. Batteries should be out of all units for 10 minutes.
3.
Place the batteries into the remote rain sensor first then into the remote temperature
sensor and finally into the indoor weather station.
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
In this time the indoor weather station and remote sensors will start to talk to each other and the
display will show the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature and the rainfall. If the indoor
weather station does not display both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as
stated above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can
place your remote temperature sensor and remote rain sensor outdoors and set your time.
The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote rain sensor
should be placed in an area where it will receive direct rainfall from all directions. The remote
sensors have a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through will reduce
distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall
will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a
straight line.
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature sensor but direct rain must be
avoided.
To complete the set up of your indoor weather station after the 10 minutes have passed please
follow the steps on pages 4 to 6.
