TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:

The range of the Temperature transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when placing the transmitter.

915 MHz RECEPTION

If the outdoor temperature data is not being received within 5 minutes after setting up (the display shows ‘’ - -. - °F’’ on the outdoor section for a long time during normal operation) please

check the following items:

1.The distance of the Weather Station or transmitter should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.

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

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

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

Note: When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or Weather Station, 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.

THE MOON PHASE

The Moon icon of the Weather Station will also display 12 different Moon phases according to the set calendar.

Note: In the southern hemisphere, the phases of the moon are same but the shape of the moon is mirror inverted.

Full Moon	Large Waning	Small Waning	Last Quarter	Large Waning	Small Waning
	Gibbous	Gibbous		Crescent	Crescent
New Moon	Small Waxing	Large Waxing	First Quarter	Small Waxing	Large Waxing
	Crescent	Crescent		Gibbous	Gibbous

LED BACK-LIGHT

The LED back-light will be automatically switched ON when any key is pressed. The LED back-light will be switched on for approximately 9 seconds before automatically switching OFF.

The transmission range is about 330 feet (100 m) from the transmitter to the Weather Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).

Note: Sensor must be outside to transmit outdoor temperature. The sensor reads data from the environment it is currently in.

POSITIONING

TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:

The Transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The Transmitter can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the Transmitter.
