[. . . ] WIRELESS 868 MHz WEATHER STATION Instruction Manual INTRODUCTION: Congratulations on purchasing this Weather station with wireless 868MHz transmission. It not only displays the indoor temperature and humdity but also receives the outdoor data. It is further acting as a DCF-77 radio controlled clock. With the totally 15 different weather forecast icons featured by "weather man", users can easily observe the forecast weather condition and will no longer worry the sudden weather change. This innovative product is ideal for use in the home or office. 43 « Instant Transmission+» is the up and coming state-of-the-art new wireless transmission technology, exclusively designed and developed by LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY. [. . . ] The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock. Hours (flashing) Minutes (flashing) 80 To set the clock: 1. The hour digits start flashing in the time display section. Use the + key to adjust the hours and then press SET key to go to the minute setting. Confirm with the SET key and enter the "Calendar Setting" or exit the setting mode by pressing the CH key 81 CALENDAR SETTING Year 82 "Date. Month. " (for 24h time display) "Month. Date. " (for 12h time display) The date default of the Weather station is 1. of the year 2006 after initial set-up. 83 Once the radio-controlled time signals are received, the date is automatically updated. However, if the signals are not received, the date can also be set manually. The range runs from 2003 to 2029 (default is 2006). Press the SET key to enter the month setting mode. Press the + key to set the month and then press the SET key to go to the date setting. Press the + key to set the date. 84 5. Confirm with the SET key and enter the "°C/°F TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING" or exit the setting mode by pressing the CH key. °C/°F TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING flashing 85 The default temperature reading is set to °C (degree Celsius). To select °F (degree Fahrenheit): 1. The "°C" will be flashing, use the + key to toggle between "°C" and "°F". Once the desired temperature unit has been chosen, confirm with the SET key and enter the "Weather Forecast Icon Sensitivity setting" or exit the setting mode by pressing the CH key. WEATHER FORECASTING ICON SENSITIVITY SETTING For locations with rapid changes of weather conditions, the threshold can be set to a different level for faster display of changing weather conditions. 86 Sensitivity level (flashing) 1. Using the + key to set the weather sensitivity level. There are 3 levels of setting: 2, 3 and 4 (hPa). It is the threshold value of pressure change that 87 2. will activate a change in weather icon. For example, when "2" is selected, it means that a change in 2 hPa will make the weather icon change. So '2" is the most sensitive setting, "4" is the least sensitive setting (default setting is "2"). Confirm with the SET key and exit the Manual settings. WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY: The weather forecast icons (Weather man): One of the 15 different weather icons (featured by Weather man with different clothing) is displayed in the centre of LCD, which indicate the different forecast 88 weather condition due to air pressure level (Sunny, Sunny + Cloudy or Cloudy + Rainy) and the current outdoor temperature (Temperature value detected by Transmitter channel 1) : 78. 8°F (26°C) 50 to 66°F 66. 2 to 78. 6°F (19 to 25. 9°C) (10 to 18. 9°C) 32 to 49. 8°F (0 to 9. 9°C) < 32°F (0°C) Sunny 89 78. 8°F (26°C) 66. 2 to 78. 6°F (19 to 25. 9°C) 50 to 66°F (10 to 18. 9°C) 32 to 49. 8°F (0 to 9. 9°C) < 32°F (0°C) Sunny + Cloudy 90 78. 8°F (26°C) 66. 2 to 78. 6°F (19 to 25. 9°C) 50 to 66°F (10 to 18. 9°C) 32 to 49. 8°F (0 to 9. 9°C) < 32°F (0°C) Cloudy + Rainy 91 Note : After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. [. . . ] The Transmitter can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the Transmitter. 113 To wall mount: 1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. Clip the remote temperature/humidity sensor onto the bracket. 114 Note: Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the transmitters or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: · · Extreme temperatures, vibrations and shocks should be avoided as these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings. [. . . ]
