WIRELESS 868 MHz WEATHER STATIONInstruction ManualINTRODUCTION:Congratulations on purchasing this fancy Weather station with wireless 868MHz transmission.It not only displays the indoor temperature and humdity but also receives the outdoor data. It isfurther acting as a DCF-77 radio controlled clock. With the totally 15 different weather forecast icons featured by "weather man", users can easily observe the forecast weather condition andwill no longer worry the sudden weather change. This innovative product is ideal for use in the home or office.« Instant Transmission+» is the up and coming state-of-the-art newwireless transmission technology, exclusively designed and developed byLA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY.“IT +” offers you an immediate update of all your outdoor data measuredfrom the transmitters: follow your climatic variations in real-time!FEATURES:The Weather station43• DCF-77 Radio controlled time with manual setting options• DCF Time reception ON/OFF• 12/24 hour displayRemovableStandBatterycompartmentcoverFunctionKeysLCDDisplay• Hour and minute display• Time zone option ±12 hours• Wireless transmission at 868 MHz• Display indoor temperature and humidity• Display outdoor temperature and humidity (3 channels)• Outdoor Signal reception intervals at 16-second• Weather forecasting with 15 easy-to-read weather forecast signs featured byweather man• Weather forecasting icon sensitivity setting• Temperature display in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) selectable• Outdoor temperature and humidity display with MIN/MAX recording• All MIN/MAX outdoor recordings show date and time received• All MIN/MAX recordings can be reset• Can take up to three outdoor transmitters• LCD contrast setting• Low battery indicator• Table standing/ Wall mountingSETTING UP:When one transmitter is to be used1. First, insert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro transmitter. (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Thermo-hygro transmitter“).2. Immediately after and within 2 minutes, insert the batteries into Weather station (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Weather station”). Once the batteries are in place, allsegments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as 0:00 and the "weather man" icon will be displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries andwait for at least 10 seconds before reinserting them.3. After inserting the batteries into the transmitter, the Weather station will start receiving data from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature/ humidity and the signal reception icon shouldthen be displayed on the Weather station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.4. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the TemperatureStation and the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception”).When more than one transmitter is to be used1. User shall remove all the batteries from the temperatuire station and transmitters and wait 60 seconds if setting has been done with one transmitter before.2. Insert the batteries to the first transmitter.3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries to the Weather Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Followingtime as 0:00 and the weather man icon will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.4. The outdoor temperature and humidity from the first transmitter (channel 1) should then be displayed on the Temperature station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If thisdoes not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.5. Insert the batteries to the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperature and humidity readings from the first transmitter are displayed on the temperature station.Note: User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 45 seconds of reception of the first transmitter.6. The outdoor temperature and humidity from the second transmitter and the "channel 2" icon should then be displayed on the weather station. If this does not happen after 2 minute, thebatteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.7. Insert the batteries to the third transmitter as soon as the "channel 2" icon and outdoor data are displayed on the weather station. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data fromthe third transmitter will be displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third transmitter is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting upfrom step 1.Note: User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 45 seconds of reception of the second transmitter.8. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the TemperatureStation and the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception”).IMPORTANT:Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from allunits and start again the set-up from step 1.9. Once the remote data has been received and displayed on the Weather station, the DCF-77 time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes ingood conditions.If after 10 minutes, the DCF time has not been received, press the SET key to manually enter a time initially.Daily DCF reception is done at 02:00 and 03:00. If the reception at 03:00 is not successful, then at 04:00 and 05:00 and 06:00 there are other tries, until one is successful. If the reception at06:00 is still not successful, then the next try takes place at 02:00 next day.When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time. (Please refer also to notes on “DCF-77 Radio controlled Time”and “Manual Time Setting”).The Outdoor Thermo-hygro Transmitter• Remote transmission of outdoor temperature and humidity to Weather Station by 868 MHz• Displays alternately the measured temperature and humidity readings on LCD• Shower proof casing• Wall mounting case
