READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the main unit. There are three possible forms:
The Unit is in searching mode
Temperature readings are securely registered
No signals. | ˚F |
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the continental United States at 60KHz. Wireless Weather Forecaster can receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna from the distance up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daytime. The radio control clock will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station receives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the main unit's display will flash indicating radio signal reception from the WWVB station. When the time signal is received, the WWVB tower icon turns on and the time of the selected time zone will be displayed. If only the part of the WWVB tower icon turns on or the WWVB tower does not appear at all and the time is not set, please consider the following:
*Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet distance from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitors, microwave ovens, etc
*Within concrete rooms (basements, superstructures, office buildings), the received signal will be weakened, and the main unit should be placed close to a window.
*The successful reception of the atomic time signal depends on the positioning and location of the main unit. Always place the main unit by the window for better reception.
*During the
A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the
accuracy reading within 1 second.

CARE OF YOUR WIRELESS WEATHER FORECASTER
This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if you handle it carefully. Here are a few precautions:
1.Do not immerse the units in water.
2.Do not use any corrosive cleanser or chemical solution
on the units. They may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuit.
3.Do not subject the units to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity, which may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged batteries and distorted parts.
4.Do not tamper with the units internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty on the units and may cause unnecessary damage. The units contains no user- serviceable parts.
5.Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user’s manual. Do not mix new and old batteries as the old ones may leak. Always replace both batteries at the same time.
6.Always read the user’s manual thoroughly before operating the units.
