AC Power
The design of this forecast station is to use AC power (5-volt) as primary power source.
When operating with the AC power cord, the backlight can be on continually.
When operating on AC power, batteries are optional and are not required in the forecast station.
The backlight will turn off or operate at high or low intensity at your discretion.
Batteries
Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. Many items
sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries manufactured this year will have
an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will
maintain voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can
deplete the power.
We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for indoor displays.
Use Alkaline or Lithium batteries in the outdoor sensors.
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six
years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio frequency)
interference from the battery compartment.
Forecast Station Factory Restart
Explanation: The factory restart returns the forecast station and outdoor sensor to an “out-of-the-box”
state and often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1. Remove all power (batteries and AC) from outdoor sensor and forecast station.
2. Press one of the buttons on the forecast station at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3. Verify that the forecast station is blank before proceeding (there are some painted lines that will not
disappear).
4. Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).
5. Insert the AC power cord into the wall outlet then into the forecast station.
6. Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
7. Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.
8. Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the forecast station.
9. When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the outdoor
sensor and forecast station to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a strong connection.
10. Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
