2. Use OUT/+ key to view the MIN/MAX temperature and humidity
data for the selected transmitter.
3. To reset the minimum and maximum temperature and humidity
data, and the times at which they were recorded, press the SET
key continuously for about 3 seconds. This will reset the MIN/MAX
data recorded to the current time, date, temperature and humidity.
The current time taken is the normal displayed time and does not
regard the time zone set for the unit.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the batteries in the
weather station require changing.
ABOUT THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
The range of the Thermo-hygro transmitter may be affected by the
temperature. At cold temperatures, the transmitting distance may be
decreased. Please keep this in mind when positioning the transmitters.
42
Battery power may be reduced for the Thermo-hygro transmitter at cold
temperatures.
CHECKING FOR 915MHz RECEPTION
If the outdoor temperature and humidity data are not being received
within three minutes after setting up (or outdoor display always show “-
-. -” in the outdoor section of the Weather station during normal
operation), please check the following points:
1. The distance of the Weather station or transmitters should be at
least 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 to 2 meters) away from any interfering
sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid placing the transmitters onto or in the immediate proximity of
metal window frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers
operating on the 915MHz signal frequency may prevent correct
signal transmission or reception. Neighbors using electrical devices
operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also cause
interference.
43
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, reset all units (see “Setting up” above), or
transmission problems may occur.
The transmission range is around 330 feet from the Thermo-hygro
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” above).
POSITIONING THE THERMO/HYGRO TRANSMITTER:
The remote thermo/hygro transmitter can be placed onto
any flat surface or wall mounted using the bracket which
doubles as a stand or wall mount base.
44
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION
The Weather station provides the option of table standing or wall
mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor
data can be received from the desired locations.
TO WALL MOUNT:
1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall,
leaving the head extended out by about 0.2”
(
5mm).
2. Place the weather station onto the screw, using the
hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the
weather station down to lock the screw into place.
FOLDOUT TABLE STANDS:
The foldout table stands legs are located on the backside. Simply unfold
the stands on the back. Once the foldout table stands are extended,
place the weather station in an appropriate location.
