6II. Start Up SequenceA. Initial Start1. Immediately after the batteries have been installed, the indoorweather station will sound a “beep”, and the LCD will completelylight up for a brief moment.2. All information will then appear in normal mode, with “12:00” asthe default time and “TH.1” as the default date (2004 as the year).3. The indoor temperature and humidity, and barometric air pressure(as 29.91 inHg relative RH) will also be displayed.4. There is a “satellite” icon that appears in the bottom portion of theLCD, between the outdoor temperature and humidity — this iconinforms the user that the indoor weather station is looking forsignals from the remote thermo/hygro sensor. Within five minutesthe remote temperature and humidity should be displayed—if not,remove batteries from all units and repeat battery installation, theremote temperature sensor first, then the indoor weather station.B. WWVB Reception1. Once the batteries are installed in the Weather Center, it willautomatically search for the WWVB signal. If it receives a goodsignal (which is unlikely during daylight hours in most locations),the WWVB reception indicator (looks like a tower icon) will flash.The indoor weather station requires five full minutes of goodreception to successfully capture the signal and set to the correcthour, minute, second, month, day and year. If the signal receptionis not successful within ten minutes, the signal search will becancelled and will automatically resume every two hours until thesignal is successfully captured.2. The signal is sent from Ft. Collins, Colorado only and is similar toan AM radio signal. Atmospheric interferences such as storms,sunspots, and even sunlight will cause the signal to not travel asfar.3. To maximize reception, place the indoor weather station in awindow facing Colorado, at least six feet from any electricalsource (computers, televisions, refrigerators, etc.). Do not movethe indoor weather station while it is searching for the signal.4. The time and date can be manually set. Once the signal is captured,it will override any time and date set to the time zone selected.5. Once the time and date are set, the indoor weather station willconduct a search every night at midnight and correct to theaccurate time and date (Daylight Saving Time is automatic). If thesignal has been received in the past 24 hours, the receptionindicator will be displayed.
