Programmable Weather Alarms

Each Selectable Weather Category features an alarm option. When an alarm sounds, the display unit emits audible beeping and flashes the affected category, its alarm settings, and any other relevant data.

Some alarms can be customized to alert you when your programmed value is reached. Alarms include: outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, wind speed, heat index, dew point, wind chill, indoor temperature and indoor humidity.

The rain alarm does not require a preset numerical value, but instead sounds as soon as rain is recorded. Similarly, the storm alarm sounds when a large atmospheric pressure drop occurs, which usually indicates an oncoming storm.

Note: The storm alarm is NOT intended to be a safety device or warning system.

Troubleshooting

	Problem			Possible Solution
				• Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-in-1 sensor.
				The units must be within 330ft (100m) of each
				other.
				• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet
				(.9m) away from electronics that may interfere
				with the wireless communication (such as TVs,
				microwaves, computers, etc).
No outdoor sensor				• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium
	reception			batteries in sensor when temperature is below
				-4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy duty or
			no bars	rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take up to
				20 minutes for display unit and sensor to
				synchronize after batteries are replaced.
				• Synchronize the units:
				1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors
				and remove at least one battery from each.
				2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.
				3. Reinstall battery into the display unit.
				4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other
				for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.
		Outdoor		Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an
				indication of wireless interference.
temperature				• Make sure the A-B-C switch in the battery
is flashing or				compartments of both the display unit and sensor
showing dashes				are switched to the same letter. You may choose
				A, B or C; but both units must match to sync up.
Weather Ticker				• Slow down the speed of the ticker (see page 16)
Hard to Read
				• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the
				next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.
				• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the
				display unit? Learning Mode must complete
Inaccurate forecast				before forecast and pressure will be accurate.
				• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days.
				Battery removal or resetting the display unit will
				restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast
				should be fairly accurate, however Learning
				Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.
