HEAT INDEX:
Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. It is the apparent temperature
of how hot it feels to a human being. When relative humidity increases, the air feels
warmer than it actually is because your body is less able to cool effectively by
evaporation of perspiration.
Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the temperature
is above 80 degrees °F (26.7°C).
View Heat Index: From a normal display press the HEAT/DEW button once and the
Heat Index will show (indoor/outdoor) instead of the ambient temperature. The
words Heat Index will show near the indoor and outdoor temperatures.
DEW POINT:
Dew point is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which the air has to be cooled in order to
create condensation. The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the
air at a given temperature. Dew Point Temperature is the absolute measure of the
moisture in the air at a given temperature. Relative humidity is the relative measure of
moisture in the air at a certain temperature.
Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.
View Dew Point: From a normal display press the HEAT/DEW button twice and the
Dew Point temperature will show (indoor/outdoor) instead of the ambient temperature.
The words Dew Point will show near the indoor and outdoor temperatures.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY FLASHING:
Low battery icon present: Change batteries in the transmitter, and then hold the CH button until
the station beeps to search for the outdoor transmitter again.
End of Transmission Range: Move the transmitter closer to the Weather Station. Avoid obstructions
in the signal path. Keep transmitter and Weather Station away from electronics.
LOW BATTERY ICON:
When this icon appears in the indoor (IN) data reading section, replace the batteries in the Weather
Station.
When this icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) data readings section, replace the batteries in the
outdoor transmitter.
USE MULTIPLE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTERS:
The Weather Station will accommodate up to three remote outdoor transmitters (TX14TH-LCD-B). The
channel selection button allows you to easily see the temperature in various locations: outdoors, baby’s
room, greenhouse, basement, etc.
To connect multiple remote transmitters to the Weather Station:
1. Remove the battery cover from all the transmitters (Leave battery covers
off until all transmitters are received by the Weather Station).
2. Set the first outdoor transmitter to Channel 1 and insert 2-AA batteries.
3. Set the second outdoor transmitter to Channel 2 and insert 2-AA batteries.
4. Set the third outdoor transmitter to Channel 3 and insert 2-AA batteries.
5. Press and hold CH button on the Weather Station until a beep sounds.
The Weather Station will search for all outdoor transmitters.
6. Press the TX button on the back of each outdoor transmitter to transmit RF
signal.
