[. . . ] 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 the outdoor temperature and humidity. It is further acting as a DCF-77 radio controlled clock. With the totally 15 different weather forecast icons featured by "weather girl", users can easily observe the forecast weather condition and will no longer worry the sudden weather change. [. . . ] 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 CALENDAR SETTING Year 69 "Day. Month. " (for 24h time display) "Month. Day. " (for 12h time display) The date default of the Weather station is 1. 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. Confirm with the SET key and enter the "°C/°F TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING" or exit the setting mode by pressing the CH key. 70 °C/°F TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING flashing The default temperature reading is set to °C (degree Celsius). To select °F (degree Fahrenheit): 1. The "°C or °F" 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. 71 Sensitivity level (flashing) 1. 2. 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 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 "3"). Confirm with the SET key and exit the Manual settings. WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY: The weather forecast icons (Weather girl): One of the 15 different weather icons (featured by Weather girl with different clothing) is displayed in the centre of LCD, which indicate the different forecast weather condition due to air pressure level (Sunny, Sunny + Cloudy or Cloudy + Rainy) and the current outdoor temperature 72 (Temperature value detected by Transmitter channel 1) : 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 73 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 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 74 For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather Projection Station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes. The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. [. . . ] The Transmitter can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the Transmitter. 87 To wall mount: 1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. Clip the remote thermo-hygro transmitter onto the bracket. 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. 88 · · · · · When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only.
