[. . . ] INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE TRANSMITTER: C/F Selection TX Button Channel Selection Battery Cover Battery Compartment Remove the screws and the battery cover from the back of the transmitter with a small screwdriver. NOTE: if using more than one transmitter, set each to a different channel to be displayed on the weather station. Insert two fresh AAA alkaline batteries into the transmitter, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment). Select Fahrenheit or Celsius for the sensor display. 3 INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION: Wall mount hole Function buttons Battery compartment Battery cover Foldout stands Remove the battery cover from the weather station: Insert a finger in the rounded depression at the bottom of the battery cover. [. . . ] Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the atomic weather station, the WWVB tower icon in the weather station display will start flashing in the top center of the LCD. This indicates that the weather station has detected a radio signal and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the WWVB tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed. If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the WWVB tower does not appear at all, then please take note of the following: Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters). Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Fort Collins, Colorado, transmitter. During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second. NOTE: In case the atomic weather station is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc. ), the time can be manually set (please refer to notes SET TIME). WWVB RECEPTION icon with full signal strength will appear on screen if the reception of atomic time is successful. The atomic weather station will have a daily synchronization at 02:03 and 03:03 everyday. Each reception cycle is minimum 2. 5 minutes and maximum 10 minutes. 5 FUNCTION BUTTONS Press and Release Functions MEM CHANNEL SET/ZONE ALARM +/ View MAX/MIN temperatures Change channels if multiple transmitters Select Time Zone Time View Alarm 1 step advance in program mode Alarm on/off 1 step backward in program mode Select C/ F Trigger snooze alarm Hold 3-5 seconds Cancel current sensor Calendar/Time set Alarm set Fast advance -/ SNOOZE Fast backward WWVB signal search BARO UP ARROW Hold 3 seconds to enter the elevation of current location Elevation numbers increase in barometer mode. The varying height of bars in other columns on the graph indicates a relative change in air pressure up or down from the previous measurement. New pressure measurements are compared to previously recorded pressure measurements. The pressure change is expressed by the difference between the current ("0h") and the past readings in divisions of ±0. 06 inHg or ±2 hPa. If the bars are rising from left to right, this indicates that the weather is improving due to an increase in air pressure. If the bars are falling from left to right, this indicates that the weather is expected to get worse due to a drop in air pressure. WEATHER FORECAST ICONS: The unit predicts weather condition of the next 12 ­ 24 hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure. The weather forecast is based on atmospheric pressure change and is about 70-75% correct. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted, we cannot be responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. SUNNY PARTLY CLOUDY CLOUDY RAINY STORMY NOTE: Any cloud icon may blink. The difference in the Rainy and Stormy icon is that the stormy icon will blink every second indicating more severe weather. 9 LOW BATTERY: It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units every 12 months to ensure optimum accuracy of these units. A low battery icon will display next to the outdoor temperature when the transmitter batteries are low and next to the indoor temperature then the batteries in the weather station are low. POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION: There are two possible ways to mount the atomic weather station: Foldout leg stands or wall mount.
