[. . . ] WEATHERFX 7 D AY W I R E L E S S F O R E C A S T E R Instruction Manual with Quick Start Guide Model# 960900C Lit. #: 98-1352/03-09 Thank you for purchasing the Bushnell Weather FXi, an Internet based 7-day weather forecaster. Designed and engineered with state-of-art wireless technology, this instrument will provide accurate and reliable weather forecast information for today and the next six days, in any of over 20, 000 cities worldwide. No external sensors or subscriptions are required, and the Wireless Receiver may be placed anywhere in your home. [. . . ] The LED light on the USB Transmitter will glow red when you click "Send To Receiver", then blink while the data is being transmitted (if this does not happen, the Transmitter is not getting power via USB- 6 INSTALLATION and SETUP INSTRUCTIONS try connecting it to a different USB port). The message on the Receiver changes to "PC FOUND-PLS WAIT 5 MINS" as the data is transmitted-it may take several minutes for all the data to be transmitted the first time, but is typically fairly fast. When the Transmitter's light stops flashing, the Receiver unit should now display the same weather forecast data as the Weather FXi software screen. If the temperature or other data does not match, press the UNITS button on the back of the Receiver and then use the + / - buttons on the front of the Receiver to make sure the temperature and other units are set to your preference (for example, if you set the temperature units on the software Settings screen to "F", but the Receiver temperature units are set to "C", the numbers will not match). If all the data display areas on the Receiver are blank, you may have a "Favorite Location" selected that has not yet been setup in the Weather FXi software application. If that's the case, either follow the procedure in Step 3 to set the "blank" location on your PC, or press the + or - button on the Receiver to select a Favorite Location # which already has a corresponding location box in the PC software. Receiver/Transmitter BUTTONS AND PARTS (see table on next page) 1 3 Stand Keyhole Fig. The numbers 1-5 shown here correspond to the location boxes (from left to right) across the top of the screen in the Weather FXi application. "Favorite #1" is your home or current location, same as the first box on the left in the Weather FXi software screen. Use the + or buttons on the left side of the Receiver to change the Receiver's display to show the weather forecast for the other cities (you will see the names of locations 2-5). Note: if you select an "empty" location on the Receiver, which does not have a location set for it in the corresponding box in the software (the box is blank in the Weather FXi application), no data will be displayed on the Receiver. F) HI / LO TEMPERATURE FORECAST (Today) Indicates the forecasted high and low temperatures for the current day. G) CURRENT TEMPERATURE WITH RealFeel® The current temperature at the selected location, and the Exclusive AccuWeather RealFeel Temperature®, an index that evaluates everything that affects how warm or cold a person feels, measuring the combined effects of temperature, wind, humidity, sunshine intensity, cloudiness, precipitation and elevation. Press UNITS on the back of the Receiver until you see "Temperature Unit Setting" and use the + / - buttons to select oF or oC (this affects all displayed temperature data). H) WEATHER MESSAGE Updated text messages regarding upcoming weather conditions, including any storm alerts or other warnings. I) RELATIVE HUMIDITY FORECAST The relative humidity forecast for the current day. J) CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION The chance of precipitation is displayed (as a percentage). K) WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION The average wind speed & direction forecast. Press UNITS on the back of the Receiver until you see "Wind Unit Setting" and use the + / - buttons to select your preferred wind units (km/h, mph, m/s or knots). 10 L) MAXIMUM UV INDEX FORECAST The maximum UV (ultraviolet radiation) index forecast is shown here. The displayed index levels indicate: UVI 1 to 2: Maximum UV level is low. There is only a low level of danger to the average person. UVI 3 to 5: Maximum UV level is moderate. There is a moderate risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. [. . . ] If the forecast reading of the Weather FXi software does not match with the Receiver, click "SEND TO RECEIVER" to re-transmit the signal again and wait for at least 10 minutes. If your time on the Weather FXi software window and Receiver display is off by half an hour or more, click "SETTINGS" in the Weather FXi application and set the hour offset until the proper time is set. If your city does not appear in the location list, select the one nearest to your home location. Heavy internet traffic may slow down the response time of the weather data server temporary. [. . . ]
