What is the maximum distance I can have the remote sensor from the display?
The maximum open-air distance is 100 metres in a straight line although you should take into account the environment, distance and interferences. Subtract 6 to 10 metres for an exterior wall or any other similar obstruction, in width or composition. Subtract 3 to 10 metres per interior wall or any obstruction that is similar in width or composition. (An obstruction would include anything that is between the line of sight like a roof, walls, floors, ceilings, trees, etc.) Also keep your units away from electronic appliances like TVs, microwaves, computers, refrigerators and speakers.
Does the remote transmitter have any trouble transmitting through specific materials?
Yes and No We have trouble maintaining a signal through metal siding, stucco walls and UV glass. You can get the remote sensor to transmit through these materials, but it will take a little bit of trial and error. Reset the weather station as mentioned above and change the angle that the remote transmits through the siding or glass until an outdoor temperature remains on the display for an extended period of time. Keep in mind that the signal from the remote must travel through some space (10 cm of air minimum) before reaching a wall or glass window.
Where can I mount the remote sensor?
In order to get an accurate reading and to prolong the life of your sensor we recommend that you have it in a sheltered area out of the sun and direct rain. Fog and Mist will not affect the sensor, but a soaking in water may. You can mount it outside under an eve of your house or any other suitable place that will keep it out of the sun and rain. Do not wrap the sensor in plastic or seal it in a plastic bag. This transmitter is a dual channel transmitter with optional 3-meters external probe for channel 2 temperature data.

How can I get outdoor temperature to show on the display for the first time or after loss of information (i.e. power blackout)
Bring 3 units (station + transmitter + probe) inside your house and have the units 1 to 2 meters apart with nothing in-between them. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove the batteries from both units, display and remote sensor. Wait until the display is blank to clear all memory (we recommend one minute). Plug the external probe (optional) Put the batteries back into the transmitter. Taking care NOT to press any keys, reinstall the batteries into the base station
Be careful, batteries must be inserted as mentionned hereabove (transmitter first, then in the base station) to ensure a good functioning.
6. Do not press any keys for at least 10 minutes after installing the batteries. (Let them establish a good connection. Pressing a button during this stage would be enough to stop the search for the sensor which is being now carried out by the station). 7. An outdoor temperature and humidity should be showing on your display. You can now put your outdoor sensor back outside. Note :There are an internal channel and an external probe channel in the transmitter.The data measured by the internal sensor and the measuring probe will be shown on the transmitter's display as Channel "1" and "2" respectively.
How can I read and reset the MIN/MAX temperatures and humidity ?
To read the tempratures and humidity MIN/MAX data : 1. Press the MIN/MAX/+ key : minimum values will be displayed (indoor temperature and humidity, outdoor temperature) 2. Press again the MIN/MAX/+ key : maximum values will be displayed (indoor temperature and humidity, outdoor temperature) To reset the temperatures and humidity MIN/MAX data : Once one MIN or MAX value is displayed (as mentionned hereabove), you will be able to reset all Min/Max indoor and outdoor values by pressing the MIN/MAX/+ key during 3 seconds. The MINI and MAXI values that appear then on the screen are the current ones.
What do I do if my display is blank ?
Check the polarity on your batteries to make sure they are installed according to the diagram in the battery compartment. Also make sure that you are using a quality alkaline battery. We advised against reloading batteries.
How do I manually set my time and choose the 12/24 hour time ?
1. Press and hold the SET/CH button for 3 seconds. 2. 12h or 24h will now appear on the second line. To toggle between 12h and 24h, press and release the MIN/MAX/+ button. Press then and release the SET/CH button once. 3. The hour will now be flashing: press and release the MIN/MAX button until correct hour is displayed. Press and release the SET/CH button once. 4. The minutes will now be flashing. Press and release the OUT/+ button until the correct value is displayed. Press and release the SET/CH button once.
When the time display is in 12-hour mode, the temperature unit will be set to F; when the time mode is in 24-hour, the temperature unit will be set to C.

What means when OFL instead of data is displayed ?
OFL is displayed when in- or outdoor temperature or humidity data are out of range. NOTA : - indoor temperature measurement range : from -9.9 C to 59.9C - outdoor temperature measurement range : from -39.9 C to 59.9 C - indoor humidity measurement range: from 1 to 99 % (stations provided with new Swiss high definition sensor). In the case of outdoor temperature, OFL can also be displayed when any interference occurs. Correct data transmission is usually restored during the next data collection. If that is not the case, you should restart your station (see above).

Optional external probe

This socket is only for the external probe. Do not apply power plug to it.
*DUAL CHANNEL TRANSMITTER There are an internal channel and an external probe channel in the transmitter. The data measured by the internal sensor and the measuring probe will be shown on the transmitter's display as Channel "1" and "2" respectively. The two readings will be automatically toggled to display. However, if the probe is unplugged, the transmitter' s display will only show the reading from the inner sensor. Once the transmitter is successfully recognized by the temperature station, Channel 1 of the Temperature station will display the temperature data measured by internal sensor and Channel 2 will display the temperature estimated by the probe. If the measuring probe is unplugged, the "probe channel" on Temperature station will show "---", yet the data from the internal sensor will still be shown on Channel 1. The probe can be connected to the remote temperature sensor anytime after initial setup. There is no need to reset the units, should the probe be
unplugged or re-plugged again. The Temperature Station will automatically detect the temperature probe data and will display the temperature data on Channel 2 after the probe is plugged.

SETTING UP:

When one transmitter is used: 1. First, insert the batteries into the transmitter (see How to install and replace batteries in the Temperature transmitter below). 2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries to the Temperature Station (see How to install and replace batteries in the Temperature Station below). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown on LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed, user may proceed to the next step.
After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start receiving data signal from the transmitter. If the optional probe has been plugged to the dual channel transmitter, the outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the Temperature Station on channel 1 and 2. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
Note: Channel 1 will show the reading from the internal sensor of the dual channel transmitter; Channel 2 will show the reading sensed by the probe. If the probe is not plugged to the transmitter, " - -" will be shown on Channel 2. 5. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission, the final position between the Temperature Station and the transmitter should not be more than 100 meters (see notes on Positioning and 868 MHz Reception).

When two transmitters are used 1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Temperature Station and transmitters and wait 60 seconds (if setting has been done with one transmitter before). 2. Insert the batteries into the first transmitter. 3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries into the Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. 4. The outdoor temperature readings from the first transmitter (Channel 1 and 2) should then be displayed on the Temperature Station (if probe sensor has been installed onto the first transmitter). If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
Insert the batteries into the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperatures from the first transmitter are displayed on the Temperature Station. Note: User must insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 30 seconds of reception of the first transmitter. 6. The outdoor temperature reading from the second transmitter will be shown on the LCD and the Channel No. will shift back to "1", indicating that all three channels are running successfully. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1. Note: After the Temperature Station has successfully received the second transmitter, Channel 3 will display the data measured by the internal sensor of the second dual channel transmitter. Yet the probe data from the second transmitter will not be displayed on the Temperature Station.
HOW TO INSTALL AND TEMPERATURE STATION

REPLACE

BATTERIES
The Temperature Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. When batteries will need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1. Lift up the battery compartment cover. 2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking). 3.

TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:

The outdoor temperature is measured and transmitted to the Temperature Station every 4.5 seconds approximately. The range of the Temperature Transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures, the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when placing the transmitter.

868 MHz RECEPTION CHECK

The Temperature Station should receive the outdoor temperature data within a few minutes after setup. If the temperature data are not received about 2 minutes after setup (the signal reception icon does not appear), please check the following points: 1. The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitter should be at least 1.5 to 2 meters away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. 2. Avoid positioning the Temperature Station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames. 3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency (868MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception. 4. Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the 868MHz signal frequency can also cause interference.
Note: When the 868MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or the Temperature Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. If this happens accidentally, all units must be reset (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is about 100 m from the transmitter to the Temperature Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up above).
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
The Temperature Station comes attached with foldout table stand, which provides the option of table standing the unit in addition to wall mounting.
Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values can be received from the desired locations. To wall mount: 1. 2. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out by about 5mm. Hang the Temperature Station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. Before securing the transmitter, ensure that the 868MHz signal is properly received by the Temperature Station. To attach to the wall, please follow the steps below: 1. Mark the wall using a pen through the holes in the holder to obtain the exact drilling position. 2. Drill holes in the wall at the marked points. 3. Screw the holder onto wall. 4. Install the transmitter onto the holder.

The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If, for instance, the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not to place the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate vicinity (garage doors, double glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the Temperature Station can receive the 868MHz signal from the temperature transmitter at the positions that you wish to place them.

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.
When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings. Do not submerge the units in water. Furthermore, fix all parts in place where the units are adequately protected against moisture and rain. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries of the recommended type. Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their guarantee. Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
