2.Press ALARM key once to return to the normal display mode. The "BUZZER OFF" icon will still be shown.

BUZZER OFF icon

To re-enable the buzzer:

1.When the BUZZER OFF icon is shown on LCD, press and hold the SET key until the BUZZER OFF icon disappears.

2.Press ALARM key once to return to the normal display mode. The "BUZZER OFF" icon will no longer be shown. Then the alarm will sound normally.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

The low battery indicator of the weather station and the transmitter will be displayed at the top and bottom portion of the LCD respectively when the battery power is low. It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of the system.

Note:

After battery change, both the Weather Station and the transmitters need to be reset (see note ”Setting up”)

The History data record will be clear after the battery change.

To reset the rainfall reading, press the + key once when the Rainfall value and "Reset" icon is shown. Then the total rainfall amount will be reset to 0, and the time updated to current time.

Note:

After power up, the time and date and total rainfall are displayed as "- - -

". After time is adjusted manually, the set time will be shown.

SWITCHING ON/OFF THE BUZZER

User may choose to turn off the buzzer so that when the time alarm is switched on and activated, the buzzer will not sound but we can still see the alarm icon (((y))) flashing on the LCD for time alarm.

On the other hand, when the buzzer is turned off and any weather alarm is activated, the particular weather digits will flash to show user that the weather condition is being out of the preset threshold value, yet the buzzer will not sound.

To switch off the buzzer:

1.In normal display mode, press and hold the SET key until the icon "BUZZER OFF" is shown at the right side above the Wind direction scale. The LCD will change to setting mode.

3.Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency (915 MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.

4.Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915 MHz signal frequency can also cause interference.

5.“Visibility” of weather center and transmitters increases the range.

Note:

When the 915 MHz signal is received, do not re-open the battery compartment cover of either the transmitter/ rain sensor or Weather Center, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. During normal operation, after the outdoor display shows "- - -", the weather center will change to receive the outdoor data every 15 minutes, until the data is read. Then the reception period for thermo- hygro transmitter will return to 4.5 seconds (6.25 seconds for rain sensor).

If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).

POSITIONING:

Prior to permanently affixing any of the units, please ensure the following points are considered:

Cable lengths of the units meet with your distance requirements at the point of fixing

Signals from the sensors can be received by the base station at points of mounting

La Crosse Technology Sensor Extension Cable

When you require additional length to properly mount your sensor, you can use La Crosse Technology extension cable. The extension cable is 32 feet in length and comes with the appropriate connecter attached.

Please visit your local retailer or www.greatbigoutlet.com to purchase.

OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER 915 MHz RECEPTION CHECK

The outdoor temperature, humidity, wind data are transmitted from thermo-hygro transmitter every 4.5 seconds; the rainfall data are transmitted from the rain sensor every 6.25 seconds. The receiver will be synchronized to the thermo-hygro transmitter and rain sensor then. The transmission range (supposedly up to about 330 feet /100 meters) of the thermo-hygro transmitter/ rain sensor may be affected by the ambient temperature. At cold temperatures, the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please keep this in mind when placing the transmitter and the rain sensor.

If (1) the outdoor data are not being received within first several minutes after setting up; (2) the outdoor display always show “- - -“ on the outdoor display; or (3) the reception icon of thermo-hygro transmitter (Mode 1) and rain sensor (Mode 2) is not displayed on the display, user shall check the following points:

1.The distance of the Weather Center or transmitter/ rain sensor should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 to 2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.

2.Avoid positioning the Weather Center onto or in the immediate proximity of metal doors or window frames.

The Weather Center

The Weather Center has been designed to be hung onto wall or free standing.

To wall mount

Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine.

Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor values can be received from the desired locations. To wall mount:

1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out the by about 5mm.

2. Hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.

The Thermo-hygro Sensor

Rain Cover

Main nit

An ideal mounting place for the thermo-hygro sensor would be the outer wall beneath the extension of a roof,WallasBracketthis will protect the sensor from direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions.

To wall mount, use the 2 screws to affix the wall bracket to the desired wall, plug in the thermo-hygro sensor to the bracket and secure both parts by the use of the supplied screw and ensure that the cables from the wind and rain sensors are correctly plugged in otherwise data transmission errors could occur.

Phone cables and connections have much more resistance than our extension cable and are not recommended for use. Using phone cable/connection may damage your sensors.

Note: Using extension cables will shorten battery life.

Warning: Never cut, splice, shorten or modify your sensor cables or extension cables. Doing so may damage your sensors and will void your warranty.
