temperatures after the 15 minutes, please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 15 minutes you can place your thermo-hygro sensor outdoors, and set your time.

The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote temperature sensor has a range of 330 feet. Keep in mind that the 330 feet is in open air with no obstructions and that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.

Example: A wireless weather station receiver with a 330 feet range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 foot width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range to 165 feet, and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet. Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal range.

This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic siding; however certain materials can reduce range even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by as much as ¾ or more, compared to the ½ reduction typical of most obstructions. It is possible to receive a signal through these materials, however maximum range will be much less due to their tendency to absorb or reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s signal.

NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your thermo-hygro sensor, but direct rain must be avoided.

DETAILED SET UP GUIDE

I.BATTERY INSTALLATION (When one Thermo-hygro sensor is being used)

1.First, insert the batteries to the Thermo-hygro sensor (see “A. Thermo-hygro sensor” below).

2.Within 2 minutes of powering up the sensor, insert the batteries to the Temperature Station (see “B. Wireless Weather station” below). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the

indoor temperature and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step.

3.After the batteries are inserted, the Weather Station will start receiving data signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity should then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1 and the signal reception icon is no longer shown.
