On the back of the unit, remove the battery compartment cover. Insert 2 AA alkaline (or lithium See NOTES below) batteries. Replace the cover. Wireless Sensor: After batteries have been put into the main unit, remove the 4 screws to remove the back cover of the wireless sensor. Insert 2 AA alkaline (or lithium) batteries. Press the "TX" button and replace the back cover and the 4 screws on the sensor. Put the sensor aside for now, and continue to learn about the main unit. Later, in part 5 of this manual you'll learn more about the wireless sensor. NOTE: When replacing the batteries for the wireless sensor, remove the batteries from the sensor and clear the sensor's channel on the main unit by pressing and holding the CHANNEL button when the corresponding channel is displayed. Reinstall the batteries into the wireless sensor and press and release the TX button to synchronize the units. Operating Range of Batteries LITHIUM BATTERIES -22ºF (-30ºC) ALKALINE BATTERIES -4ºF (-20ºC) (70ºC) 158ºF (70ºC) 158ºF Severe cold (below -4º F/-20º C) can cause alkaline batteries to freeze and function improperly. Use lithium batteries in extremely low temperature conditions to ensure continued operation. Low Battery Indicator: When the battery level is low for the main unit or the wireless sensor, the low battery level icons will illuminate. 4 CHOOSE WHERE TO PLACE THE MAIN UNIT and WIRELESS SENSOR Main Unit: Choose wall mount or table-top placement. · Choose a location for each unit that is at least 10 feet away from other electronic devices that may interfere with the wireless signal. · Wall mounting: Use the mounting slot on the back of the unit to hang it from one of the supplied screws. · Table-top placement: Fold out the integrated table-top stands to place the main unit on a table-top surface. Wireless Sensor: When placing the sensor, consider these things: · Although the sensor is designed for outdoor use, placement in a protected area will prolong its life. · Mounting: Use the mounting slot on the back of the unit to hang it from one of the supplied screws. · The sensor must be within 100 feet (30 meters) of the main unit. · The sensor is resistant to weather and to water. It is NOT WATERPROOF. · Prolonged exposure to cold weather may cause damage to the LCD panel. · Wireless sensor can be placed outdoors to observe outdoor temperatures and humidity. 2 Main Unit BACK 1 Remove Battery Compartment Cover 2 AA AA Wireless Sensor BACK AA 2 1 REMOVE 4 SCREWS TO OPEN BATTERY COMPARTMENT , , , C} AA ~----,------- A A TX C/F MODE 1 2 3 AA · Placement I I I I 110feet RF WIRELESS 100 feet maximum 3 Using the included LOW TEMPERATURE ADAPTOR The wireless sensor will operate normally down to -4 ºF. Below -4 ºF, the electronics may operate erratically or become non-functional until the temperature raises again. In case temperatures fall below -4ºF, bring the wireless sensor indoors and use the included low temperature adaptor by running the wire out through a soft seal opening such as a window or door. When routing the wire for the low temperature adaptor, make certain that the wire will not be severed or damaged.

(This is called registration.) The built-in antenna receives the official time signal from the US Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology. A microchip translates the time signal and adjusts the time display for the correct time, and date. Manually Setting the Time and Date: 1) Press and hold the "SET" button, and the year display will flash on the screen. Using the "+" and " " buttons set the year. When the correct year is entered, press and release the "SET" button to confirm the setting. 2) Once you have confirmed the year, follow the same procedure to set the month, date, hour, minute, 12 or 24-hour time preference, and DST (Daylight Saving Time). NOTE: You cannot change any settings manually if the clock is attempting to synchronize. Allow the clock to finish the cycle, and then manual changes can be made if the clock has not automatically acquired the signal and set itself to the correct time. Time Zone: Note: Default setting is Pacific Time. If you live outside of the Pacific Time Zone, you will need to set your Time Zone using the following procedure: 1) Press and hold the " / C/F" button on the front of the clock for three seconds. The area of the clock where the seconds are usually displayed will be replaced with the letter for the time zone it is currently set in. 2) If set to the default setting, you will see a flashing letter "P" on the screen after pressing and holding the " / C/F" button. Press and release the " / C/F" button until the letter shown corresponds to your time zone: P = Pacific M = Mountain C = Central E = Eastern Once your zone is displayed, there is nothing more you need to do. After about 3 seconds, the seconds will once again be displayed on your clock. The antenna icon ( ) will flash on and off during synchronization. If the icon disappears, this indicates that the radio signal is not available. If you are unable to obtain a signal after a long period of time, try placing the base unit away from sources of interference such as computers, televisions, cordless phone bases, and other electronic items. Note: The synchronization process can take 24-72 hours. Celsius/Fahrenheit: Press and release the "" (minus) button. A beep sounds, and the display will change to either Fahrenheit or Celsius. 7 Moon Phase: The moon phase will automatically display based on the calender date. The moon phase display will scroll from left to right, and pause for about 5 seconds to display the current moon phase. NOTE: the moon phase will not be correct unless the date and year are programmed correctly. OTHER ADJUSTMENTS Trend Indicators: Arrow icons in the upper display will indicate the following trends: Rising Steady Falling t·· The arrow icons will indicate rising, steady or falling if the temperature or humidity change is more than 1 unit (degree/percent) within an hour. SETTING THE ALARM: 1) Hold "ALARM" for 3 seconds. 2) The hour number(s) flash. Press "+" or "-" to enter the desired hour. Press "ALARM" to confirm the hour setting. 3) The minute number(s) flash. Press "+" or "-" to enter the desired minute. Press "ALARM" to confirm the minute setting. To view the alarm time, press the "ALARM" button during the normal operating mode. Alarm time will display for five seconds. Then, the current time is displayed. To Turn the Alarm On and Off: Press the "+" button during the normal operating mode. The bell (alarm) icon will show if the alarm is set and activated. To Turn off the Alarm for One Day: To turn the alarm off for one day, press the "ALARM" button when the alarm sounds Snooze/Light: When the alarm sounds, press the "SNOOZE/LIGHT" button to trigger the snooze feature. The alarm is silenced for five minutes. Then, it will sound an alarm again. The "SNOOOZE/LIGHT" button also activates the built-in backlight for 5 seconds. MIN / MAX MEMORY: Press the "MEMORY" button to view the maximum values (Inside/Outside Temperature and Humidity) for 5 seconds. Press the "MEMORY" button again to view the minimum memory. The memory will automatically refresh every 24 hours. 8 MULTIPLE WIRELESS SENSORS The main unit supports up to three wireless sensors. Each additional wireless sensor must be designated a different channel number. Assigning different channel numbers differentiate each sensors temperature and hygrometer readings for the main units' display. Additional wireless sensors are sold separately. Call 1-800-556-2548 to order. WIRELESS SENSOR MODEL # 01022 1) Open each sensor by removing the 4 screws and the cover. 2) Install batteries, see section 3. 3) Use the interior slide switch to select a channel 1, 2, or 3. 4) Choose Celsius or Fahrenheit with the C/F button, for the sensor display. 5) With the "MODE" button choose what you want the sensor display to show: Temperature only, Humidity only, or Temperature and humidity, alternating. 6) Press the "TX" button to send a signal to the base station. 7) Replace the cover and the 4 screws. 8) Mount the sensor. See section 4 for placement of the wireless sensor unit. 9 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS MEASUREMENT RANGE: Indoor main unit : Outdoor/Indoor humidity : Wireless sensor : with low-temp adaptor : Barometer Channel : Transmission : Resolution : mb for Clock : Batteries : for MODEL#00592W 0º C to + 50º C (+32º F to +122º F) 20% - 99% RH -20º C to +70º C (-4º F to +158º F) -30º C to +70º C (-22ºF to +158º F) : 900 to 1050 mb/hPa maximum of three wireless sensors up to 30M (100 ft.) open area, RF434 MHz 0.1º for temperature, 1% for humidity, 1 hPa pressure WWVB radio-controlled, quartz back-up AA x 2 alkaline for main unit; AA x 2 alkaline wireless sensor 8 9
