PLACEMENT
For best Weather Radio reception place the main unit where it can receive
NWS signals and you can hear the weather broadcast – do not place it near
18
any large obstructions or surfaces such as refrigerators, metal cabinets, etc
For best Weather Station reception make sure that the main unit is locating
within the operating range of all remote weather sensors
Ideally the remote weather sensors should be mounted within the line of sight
from the main unit
Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic
appliances
Test reception before permanently mounting all remote weather sensors
Avoid placing the main unit in the following areas:
Direct sunlight and surfaces emitting and radiating heat, such as heating ducts
or air conditioners
Areas with interference from the wireless devices (such as cordless phones,
radio headsets, baby listening devices) and electronic appliances
OPERATION
Once the main unit is powered, the Weather Station display will show all available LCD
segments for 2 seconds.
The Weather Radio display line will remain blank for 2 seconds, then SIGNAL LOSS
statement with RF reception symbol will appear and radio will start scanning through all 7
NOAA channels. If the reception is successful, it will detect and lock on the available
channel.
IMPORTANT:
All of the Weather Station display functions will be locked, allowing setting
pressure parameters and local altitude. The locked display will show the pressure icon
and abbreviation “inHg” flashing in Pressure Window, indoor temperature and humidity
readings in Temperature/Humidity Window, default time in Time Window and a default
sunset/sunrise time in the Sunrise/Sunset Window.
If pressure and altitude are not configured during this time, the Weather Station will
self-calibrate in a few minutes and show the default settings for the pressure and altitude
(sea level) and then all remote weather sensors readings.
To set the pressure & altitude units and program your altitude, use the main unit control
panel, located on the back.
NOTE: When adjusting altitude in feet or meters, be noted that the last small
digit is not a decimal but a whole number.
Example: “
350” feet means 350 feet (three hundred fifty feet).
