GETTING STARTED
POWER SUPPLY
Batteries serve as a back-up power supply. For continuous
use of weather icon colour effect and backlight, adaptor must
be installed.
1 adaptor
Use the adaptor supplied to power the unit.
Make sure the adaptor is not obstructed and is easily
accessible to the unit.
NOTE The main unit and adaptor should not be exposed to
wet conditions. No objects filled with liquid, such as vases,
should be placed on the main unit and adaptor.
To completely disconnect from power, unplug adaptor from
the mains.
2 CR2032 batteries for memory backup
To insert batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarities (+/ -).
3. Press RESET after each battery change.
MEANING
Battery is low in power
No battery installed – only AC adaptor
SET UP REMOTE SENSOR
The main unit can be connected to only 1 remote sensor.
1. Slide open the battery door.
2. Insert battery, matching the polarities (+ / -).
3. Select channel then press RESET.
4. Close the battery door.

grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.
DATA TRANSMISSION
SENSOR
The main unit will automatically search for sensor.
To search for a sensor manually:
Press and hold
+ together.
For best results:
• Place the sensor within 30 m (100 ft) of the main unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main unit,
minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls and
furniture.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the
sky, away from metallic / electronic objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold
winter months as below-freezing temperatures may
affect battery performance and signal transmission.
The remote sensor reception icon will show the
following status:
ICON DESCRIPTION
Main unit is searching
for sensor(s).
A channel has been
found.

NOTE The main unit will search only for already registered
sensor or new sensor reset within the last 30 minutes. If unit
failed to synchronise with remote sensor, reset the sensor or
try selecting a different channel (and press RESET) before
manually forcing another search.
TIP The transmission range may vary depending on many
factors. You may need to experiment with various locations
to get the best results.

clock signal time. If you have deactivated the clock signal
reception, do not set a value for time zone.
NOTE If you enter +1 in the time zone setting, this will give
you your regional time plus 1 hour.
