Arrow
Indicator
Note: When the temperature falls below the freezing point
the batteries in the remote sensor(s) will freeze
lowering their voltage output and effective range.
During prolonged periods of extreme cold it is
advisable to bring the remote sensor indoors, if
alkaline batteries are being used. We recommend
to use lithium ion batteries at temperatures below 32˚F.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURE
The maximum and minimum records of the indoor and
remote temperature will be automatically stored in the
memory.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as door bells,
home security systems and entry controls, may interfere
with this product and cause temporary reception failure.
This is normal and does not affect the general performance
of the product. The transmission and reception of the
temperature readings will resume once the interference ends.
The main unit will display the minimum, maximum and
the current reading upon each press of the MEM button.
If the MEM button is not pressed, the unit will return to
the current temperature display in 15 seconds.
To clear the memory, press and hold MEM for 3 seconds.
The maximum and minimum readings will be erased.
CHECKING REMOTE AND
INDOOR TEMPERATURE
The indoor temperature is shown on the third line of the
main unit display. The remote temperature is shown below
the top line of the display. The wave icon near the remote
temperature reading indicates that there is a good signal
reception from the remote sensor.

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
radio station, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits
the exact time signal continuously throughout the continental
United States at 60KHz. Wireless Weather Forecaster can
receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna
from the distance up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature
of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during
the daytime. The radio control clock will search for a signal
every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio
station receives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in
Boulder, Colorado.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
The barometric pressure arrows indicate if pressure is
rising, steady or faling.

SPECIFICATIONS
Temperature Measurement
Main unit
* Within concrete rooms (basements, superstructures,
office buildings), the received signal will be weakened,
and the main unit should be placed close to a window.
* The successful reception of the atomic time signal depends
on the positioning and location of the main unit. Always
place the main unit by the window for better reception.
* During the night-time, the atmospheric disturbances are
usually less severe and reception may be improved.
A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the
accuracy reading within 1 second.
