Comfort Level Indicators, Weather Forecast

COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS

This product is capable of detecting and displaying the current indoor comfort levels of surrounding environment. The comfort level is displayed on the weather station portion of the main unit’s display. It is based on the combination of the current indoor temperature and humidity readings. There are following comfort levels may be displayed: COMFORT (comfortable); WET (wet) and DRY (dry)

Indicator	Temperature	Humidity	Shows current
displayed	Range	Range	condition

	20˚C to 25˚C	40%RH-	Ideal for
COMFORT	20˚C to 25˚C	40%RH-	both relative
	(68˚F to 77˚F)	70%RH	humidity and
			temperature

WET	-5˚C to 50˚C	OVER	Contains excess
WET	(23˚F to 122˚F)	70%RH	moisture
	(23˚F to 122˚F)	70%RH	moisture

DRY	-5˚C to 50˚C	Below	Contains
	-5˚C to 50˚C	Below	inadequate

WEATHER FORECAST

This unit is capable of detecting the atmospheric pressure changes. Based on collected weather data, it forecasts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.

When the display shows...

Forecast	Sunny	Partly	Cloudy	Rainy	Snowy
is...		Cloudy

NOTE: The weather forecast accuracy is approximately 70%. The main unit display shows forecasted (predicted) not current conditions. The SUNNY icon indicates clear weather, even when displayed during the night-time.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM READINGS

The maximum and minimum record of the indoor and remote temperature and humidity will be automatically stored in the memory of the main unit (receiver).

To display the minimum, maximum or the current reading press MEM button.

If no button is pressed for the next 15 seconds, the unit will return to the current temperature and humidity display.

To clear the memory, press and hold MEM button for two seconds and all previously stored readings will be erased.

LOST COMMUNICATION

If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading goes blank, press and hold DOWN ( ) button for 2 seconds to begin a new signal search. If the signal still isn’t received, please make sure that:

•The remote sensor is in its proper location.

•The distance between main unit and remote sensor(s) is not over 328 feet (100 meters)

•The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the distance if necessary.

•Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor and main unit.

If there is no reception, please perform the following steps:

•Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.

•Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the remote sensor with small Phillips screwdriver, and open the battery compartment.

•Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal.

•Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in the same manner.

•On the main unit select the same channel number using CHANNEL button as set on the remote sensor. The remote temperature and humidity appeared on the main unit’s display will show that transmission is being received successfully.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

Signals from the other household devices such as wireless doorbells, home security systems, and entry control, may interfere with this product or cause temporary reception interruption. This is normal and will not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of the temperature and humidity readings will resume once the interference subsides.

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station (WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal continuously throughout the most of the continental United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Long-Range Weather Forecaster can receive this WWVB signal through the internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station that receives the atomic time signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.

The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio signal reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and date are not set automatically, please consider the following:

•During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.

•Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.

•Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always place the Weather Forecaster near the window for better reception.

ATOMIC CLOCK

Immediately after establishing communication between the main unit and remote sensor, the atomic time signal receiver will open and start to search for the atomic time signal.

The search usually takes between 5-8 minutes.

NOTE: Do not press any buttons on the main unit during auto search as it may interrupt product’s operation, and you will need to start set up procedure again. Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set automatically, and the [] icon will appear.

NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, having in mind that the default zone is a US Pacific Standard Time (PST). (Refer to MANUAL SETTINGS section) If the time signal has not been received in 8 minutes, you may use the MODE button to set the time and date manually. (Refer to the MANUAL SETTINGS section). After the clock is set manually, place the Weather Forecaster by the window for the better reception. The atomic clock receiver is programmed that it will continue to search for the atomic time signal daily for every hour between 1:00 am and 4:30 am.

Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and date will be updated automatically.

TIME AND CALENDAR DISPLAY MODES

The Long-Range Weather Forecaster displays current time in two display modes – in hour-minutes-seconds format and in hour-minutes-day.

The date is displayed in month-date format.
