Attention
Only use 1.5 V alkaline batteries of the same type; do not use rechargeable 1.2 V batteries. Lower voltage may cause both units to not function.
Getting Started
- Insert batteries first into the weather station (2× 1.5 V AAA). Connect the micro USB cable (included) to a USB power adapter (not included) and the station, then plug the adapter into a socket.
- Then insert batteries into the wireless sensor (2× 1.5 V AAA). Make sure the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries to avoid damaging the weather station or sensor.
- Place the two units next to each other. The [wireless] icon will be flashing on the screen; the weather station will detect the remote sensor signal within 3 minutes. If sensor signal is not detected, proceed again from step 1 or use a thin object (e.g. a pencil or a paper clip) to press the [RESET] button on the back of the sensor.
- If the outdoor temperature reading disappears from the screen, long-press the [SET] button on the station. The station will start searching for the sensor signal. If the station loses the signal from the sensor for a period longer than 1 hour, the outdoor temperature and humidity value will start flashing on the screen. Long-press the [SET] button on the station so that the station starts searching for the sensor signal again.
- We recommend placing the sensor on the north side of the house. The range of the sensor may decrease substantially in areas with a large number of obstacles. The sensor is resistant to dripping water; however, it should not be exposed to sustained rain. Do not place the sensor on metal objects as these would reduce transmission range. Use the sensor in vertical position only. If the weather station screen shows the [low-battery-sensor] icon in the outdoor temperature field, replace the batteries in the sensor.
- If the weather station screen shows the [low-battery-station] icon in the indoor temperature field, replace the batteries in the station.
Manual Time Setting
- Long-press the [SET] button.
- Use the ▼/▲ buttons to set the following parameters: 12 h/24 h time format - hours - minutes. Confirm each set value by pressing the [SET] button; holding buttons speeds up value adjustment.
- If no button is pressed within 20 seconds, the unit will return to the main screen.
Setting °C/°F Temperature Unit
Repeatedly pressing the [SET] button will switch temperature units between °C/°F.
Screen Illumination
Always power the station using the micro USB cable. Otherwise, screen illumination will not function!
Setting an Alarm
- Short-press the [SET] button; AL will appear on the screen.
- Then, long-press the [SET] button again; the time setting will start flashing.
- Use ▼/▲ to set the hours and minutes for the alarm; holding the arrow buttons speeds up adjustment.
- Confirm set values by pressing the [SET] button.
- To activate the alarm, short-press the [SET] button; AL will appear on the screen.
- Pressing the [SNZ/LIGHT] button activates [alarm-active] on the screen) or deactivates ([alarm-inactive] disappears) the alarm.
Snooze Function
You can postpone an active alarm by 5 minutes by pressing the [SNZ/LIGHT] button located on the top of the station. Press the [SNZ/LIGHT] button when the alarm starts ringing. The [snooze] icon will be displayed and Zz will be flashing. To cancel the SNOOZE function, press any other button while the alarm is ringing - the Zz icon will stop flashing and the [snooze] icon will remain on the screen. The alarm will trigger again the next day. If you do not press any button while the alarm is ringing, the ringing will stop automatically after 2 minutes.
Displaying Maximum and Minimum Temperature and Humidity Readings
Press the [SET] button repeatedly to gradually display the maximum and minimum readings of indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity. The memory of measured values is automatically erased every day at 00:00. To manually erase the memory of measured values, long-press the [SET] button while in the max/min value display mode.
Weather Forecast
The station uses changes in temperature and humidity to forecast weather for the next 12-24 hours for an area within the range of 15-20 km. The accuracy of the weather forecast is approximately 50%. As the weather forecast may not be 100% accurate, neither the manufacturer nor the seller can be held responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. When you first set or reset the weather station, it takes approximately 12 hours before the weather station begins forecasting correctly. The weather station shows 5 weather forecast icons:
- [sunny]
- [cloudy]
- [overcast]
- [rain]
- [snow]
Note: The currently displayed icon indicates the forecast for the next 12-24 hours. It may not reflect the current state of the weather.
