Channels
Explanation: The forecast station will accommodate up to three remote
outdoor
transmitters. The channel selection ▲ button on the forecast station allows you to see the
temperature in various locations: outdoors, baby’s room, greenhouse, basement, etc.
Press and release the ▲ button to view channel 1, 2 or 3 on the display when multiple
transmitters are used.
Note: You cannot change channels if only one transmitter is connected.
Multiple Outdoor Transmitters
To connect multiple remote transmitters to the forecast station:
Remove the battery cover from all the transmitters (leave off for setup).
Set the first outdoor transmitter to channel 1 and insert 2 AA batteries.
Set the second outdoor transmitter to channel 2 and insert 2 AA batteries.
Set the third outdoor transmitter to channel 3 and insert 2 AA batteries.
Press and hold ▲ button on forecast station for 5-10 seconds.
The forecast station will search for all outdoor transmitters.
Press the TX button on the back of each outdoor transmitter to transmit RF signal.
When RF (radio frequency) connection is established, the respective temperature &
humidity of the selected channels will appear on the main unit.
Allow the transmitters and the forecast station to stay 5-10 feet apart for 15 minutes to
establish a solid connection.
Install the battery covers on each sensor.
After 15 minutes, place the remote transmitters in appropriate locations within range of
the display.
Press and release the ▲ button to view channel 1, 2 or 3 on the display when multiple
transmitters are used.
Mounting/Positioning Outdoor sensor
First: Place the outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the weather station in
the home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the outdoor sensor to
ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
Protect the outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun,
which can cause it to read incorrectly.
Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.
If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the outdoor sensor. Be sure a
box has vents.
Mount the outdoor sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing incorrect
readings.
Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range
.
Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
Mount outdoor temperature sensor vertically.
Avoid more than one wall between the outdoor sensor and the weather station.
The HIimum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters).
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce
the range.
