INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the BAR888 Weather Fore-
cast Multi-Channel In-Out Thermometer with 433MHz cable
free sensor and radio-controlled calendar clock.
The basic package comes with a main unit (which is the barom-
eter, temperature and calendar clock station), and a remote unit
(the thermo sensor).
The main unit has large read-outs for weather forecast, indoors
temperature, calendar clock and temperatures collected and
transmitted by the remote unit. The main unit can support up to three
remote units.
The main unit is capable of keeping track of the maximum and
minimum temperature of different sites. And no wire installation is
required. As the BAR888 operates at 433MHz, it can be used in the
U.S. and most places in Continental Europe.
As for the calendar clock, it is radio-controlled. It automatically
synchronizes its current time and date when it is brought within an
approximate 1500km radius of the radio signal generated from
Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77).
You can also set the calendar clock manually when it is off range.
Other features include four-language display, four-step crescendo
dual alarms and interchangeable display modes.
