INITIAL SET UP

∙Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries

∙Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, or Rechargeable Batteries

1.Insert the batteries into the thermohygro transmitter. Keep the transmitter 5-10 feet from the Weather Station during set up.

2.Within 45 seconds, insert batteries into the Weather Station. Once the batteries are in place all segments will light up briefly. The time will be displayed as 12:00. If this is not displayed within 80 seconds, remove the batteries from both units for 2 minutes and start again from step 1.

3.The weather station will start receiving data from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and signal reception icon will be displayed. If this is not displayed within 80 seconds, remove the batteries from both units for 2 minutes and start again from step 1.

4.Allow the weather station and the transmitter to remain 5-10 feet apart for 15 minutes after set up to establish a strong connection.

5.To ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission after set up, the distance between the transmitter mounted outside and the weather station inside should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters) distance (open air, no obstructions).

6.Test the weather station and the transmitter in the positions they will be located for one hour before permanently mounting. If the outdoor temperature signal goes to dashes restart from step 1 and try a new location.

WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS

 

 

Weather icons display in any of the following combinations:

 

SUN

SUN/CLOUDS

CLOUDS/RAIN

For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.

Note: After set up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.

WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR

Working together with the weather icons is the weather tendency indicator (located on the left of the weather icons). When the arrow points upwards, it means that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when arrow points downwards, the air pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse.

AIR PRESSURE HISTORY

The bottom right section of the LCD shows the air pressure history bar graph.
