ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT (not included)

1. Two fresh AA 1.5V batteries for the remote temperature/humidity sensor.

(The remote temperature/humidity sensor powers the wind speed sensor and the rainfall sensor so no batteries are required.)

2. One Philips screwdriver for mounting.

Important Notes on Set-up and Operation

The remote temperature/humidity sensor is both the source of power for both outdoor sensors and source of transmission for all remote sensor data.

The remote temperature/humidity sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area.

Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature/humidity sensor but direct rain must be avoided.

The remote temperature/humidity sensor has a range of 330 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window can have up to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall can have up to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 330 ft. in a straight line.

The remote temperature/humidity sensor transmits a signal every minute. After the batteries have been installed, the indoor weather station will search for the signal for a duration of 15 minutes. If there is no temperature or humidity reading in the OUTDOOR LCD or wind speed in the WIND SPEED LCD after 15 minutes, make sure the units are within range of each other, or repeat the battery installation procedure.

If a button is pressed before the indoor weather station receives the signal from the remote temperature/humidity sensor, you will need to follow the battery installation procedure again.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The first step to powering up the weather station is to insert the connector (RJ11) at the end of the wire attached to the wind speed sensor to the remote temperature/humidity sensor. Please ensure when doing this that the connector is inserted with the proper orientation. When seated properly you will hear the connector ‘click’ in place.

A.REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY

1.Remove the mounting bracket and humidity hood.

2.Remove the battery cover by sliding the cover down.

3.Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure they do not spring free).

4.Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure battery cover is on securely.

5.Replace the humidity hood.
