Extended periods of cold temperatures (below -4ºF / -20ºC) can cause  
alkaline batteries to function improperly. This causes the outdoor sensor  
to stop transmitting data. Use lithium batteries in low temperature  
conditions to ensure continuous operation of the outdoor sensor.

Weather Station Placement  
Precision Forecasting  
Once setup is complete, choose a suitable location to place the indoor  
Initial Learning Mode  
display console and outdoor sensor:  
The forecast will not display predicted high or low temperatures for  
the first few hours after powering on. During this initial learning  
mode, the weather station will observe changes in your weather  
patterns and gather the data needed to generate your precision  
forecast.  
Placement of Display Console  
Place the display console in a dry area free of dirt and dust.  
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of  
direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. Console  
stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. Adjust  
display tilt to your preferred viewing angle.  
Forecast Display  
Precision Forecasting provides the weather forecast for the next  
4-hour, 4 to 8-hour, and 8 to 12-hour time periods. Precision  
Forecasting continuously analyzes your sensor data and updates the  
forecast icons and high/low temperatures accordingly.  
Placement of Sensor  
The sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe outdoor  
temperatures. Sensor must be placed less than 330 ft (100 m)  
from the display console. Sensor is water resistant and is  
designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its life  
place the sensor in an area protected from direct weather  
elements. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place  
out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.  
The weather forecast icon will display one of 18 different weather  
conditions. The moon will show (as a simplified Moon Phase) instead  
of the sun when the forecast time period occurs overnight.  
Below is an example of a few forecast icons:  
There are 2 placement options for the sensor: Hang using the  
integrated hang holes, or use string (not included) to hang  
from a suitable location, like a well-covered tree branch.  
Prevent Wireless Interference  
This weather station uses wireless radio frequency for data  
communication, which is susceptible to interference from electronics,  
large metallic items and thick walls. To prevent interference, place both  
the display console and the sensor at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from  
appliances (TV, microwave, radios, etc.), large metal surfaces, thick  
stone walls, etc.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Problem  
Barometric Pressure  
Possible Solution(s)  
Barometric pressure, also called atmospheric pressure, is defined as  
the pressure at any location on the Earth, caused by the weight of  
the column of air above it. At sea level, atmospheric pressure has an  
average value of one atmosphere, and gradually decreases as  
altitude increases.  
Relocate the display console and/or the outdoor  
sensor. The units must be within 330 feet (100  
meters) of each other. Make sure both units are  
placed at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from electronics  
that may interfere with the wireless communication  
(such as TVʼs, microwaves, computers, etc).  
NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes for the display  
console to re-synchronize with the sensor when  
batteries are replaced. Use lithium batteries in  
sensor when temperature is below -4ºF (-20ºC).  
Make sure the A-B-C switch selection in the battery  
compartments of both the display unit and sensor  
match each other.  
Bad  
Wireless Sensor  
Reception  
The weight of the air mass, or atmosphere, that envelopes Earth  
exerts pressure on all points of the planet's surface. Meteorologists  
use a tool called a barometer to measure atmospheric pressure. At  
sea level the atmospheric pressure is approximately 1 kilogram per  
square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch), which will cause a  
column of mercury in a mercury barometer to rise 760 millimeters  
(30.4 in).  
no bars  
Batteries may need to be replaced.  
Check that batteries are correctly installed.  
Display Console  
Subtle variations in atmospheric pressure greatly affect the weather.  
Low pressure generally brings rain. In areas of low air pressure, the  
air is less dense and relatively warm, which causes it to rise. The  
expanding and rising air naturally cools, and the water vapor in the  
air condenses, forming clouds and the drops that fall as rain. In high  
pressure areas, conversely, the air is dense and relatively cool, which  
causes it to sink. The water vapor in the sinking air does not  
condense, leaving the skies sunny and clear.  
Press the reset button located on the back of the  
display unit to reset the entire unit. Please note that  
all of the date and time information will need to be  
entered manually after a reset.  
Screen Not Working  
The Precision Forecast will not display predicted  
high or low temperatures for the first few hours  
after powering on or resetting. During this initial  
learning mode, the weather forecast will collect  
data to learn your weather patterns.  
Precision Forecast  
displaying “- -”  
for high/low  
This weather station displays the current barometric pressure, as well  
as a pressure indicator arrow of the trend (rising, falling or steady),  
pictured below. The multi-variable history chart also tracks and  
display the changes in pressure for the last 12 hours (-12, -6, -3, -2,  
-1, 0). The chart allows you to monitor the rate of change over time.  
These features can assist you in forecasting changes in the weather.  
If the forecast seems wildly inaccurate, make  
certain that your geographic region is selected  
properly. The geographic region selection can  
drastically affect the accuracy of the forecast. See  
“FORECAST CALIBRATION” to learn how you  
may fine tune and improve the accuracy of the  
forecasting feature.

FORECAST CALIBRATION  
REFERENCE  
Forecast Calibration Mode  
Precision Forecast Geographic Regions  
This weather stationʼs forecasting feature can be calibrated. If you  
feel that your personal forecast could be fine-tuned to be more  
accurate you can calibrate the forecast to be less or more “wet.”  
Essentially, calibrating the forecast will either reduce or increase how  
much moisture is present within the forecast software algorithm.  
For example, if you feel the forecast is showing rain too often, you  
can remove 10% of the moisture from the forecast equation. To  
calibrate the forecast, you must enter into calibration mode.

TIP: if you are on the border of two geographic regions, choose the  
region that most fits your geographic region and weather type. You  
may want to try both regions (try for a minimum time frame of a few  
days for each region selection) to see which region selection  
provides the best forecast for you.
