Setup and Installation

1. Battery Installation:

• Indoor Display Unit: Insert 2x AAA 1.5V alkaline batteries into the battery compartment.
• Outdoor Sensor Array: Insert 2x AA 1.5V alkaline batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure correct polarity.

Note: Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately.

2. Sensor Placement:

• Mount the outdoor sensor array in an open area, away from obstructions like buildings, trees, or fences, to ensure accurate wind and temperature readings.
• Ensure the wind vane and anemometer can rotate freely.
• The sensor array should be mounted securely using the provided bracket.
• The transmission range is up to 100 meters (330 feet) in open air. Position the indoor display unit within this range.

3. Initial Synchronization:

• After installing batteries in both units, the indoor display unit will automatically search for the outdoor sensor signal. This may take a few minutes.
• Once connected, outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction will appear on the display.

Operation

Display Unit Controls:

The indoor display unit features several buttons for navigation and settings:

• MODE: Cycles through display modes and enters setting menus.
• SET: Confirms selections in setting menus.
• CR/+ (Channel/Plus): Changes display channels or increases values during settings.
• CLEAR/- (Clear/Minus): Clears recorded data or decreases values during settings.
• MAX/MIN: Displays maximum and minimum recorded values.

Time and Date Setting:

The unit supports radio-controlled time synchronization (DCF, WWVB). If automatic synchronization is not available or desired, you can set the time and date manually:

1. Press and hold the MODE button to enter time setting mode.
2. Use the CR/+ and CLEAR/- buttons to adjust values.
3. Press SET to confirm each setting and move to the next parameter (e.g., hour, minute, year, month, day, time zone).

Unit Selection:

To change temperature units (°F/°C) or wind speed units (mph, km/h, m/s, knots, Bft):

• Press the relevant button (e.g., a dedicated button for °F/°C or cycle through options using MODE and SET). Refer to the on-screen prompts.

Weather Alarms:

The device supports temperature alarm modes. Consult the full manual for detailed instructions on setting specific alarms.

Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in both the indoor display unit and outdoor sensor array when the low battery indicator appears.
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the outdoor sensor array to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may affect readings. Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Obstruction Check: Ensure the wind cups and wind vane on the outdoor sensor array are free from obstructions and can rotate smoothly.
• Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent leakage.
