INTERPRETING THE WEA THER FORECAST SYMBOLS:
1. The weather station requires at least 24 hours to acclimatise to
local weather conditions. The weather station will process and
analyse the weather patterns of the past 24 hours in order to
determine the future weather . The predicted weather forecast
may not accurately reflect the actual weather for your immediate
area till 24 hours have elapsed.
2. The weather station will display the symbols (see figure 3) to
indicate the predicted weather forecast for the next 12 to 24
hours for an area within a radius of approximately 30-50 km.
Note:
1. The weather forecasting is approximately 70% accurate.
Accuracy rate might be lower in extreme weather conditions.
The weather forecast is only for reference and only for domestic
use. Do NOT rely on the weather station for a forecast for any
serious matter including but not limited to: personal health, any
business or financial decisions, and/or agricultural planning. And
certainly NOT for life and death situations.
2. The weather forecast does not display the current weather . It
displays future weather situation.
ADJUS TING THE WEA T HER ST A TION:
1. Pre ss “HIST OR Y” butto n (5) for 3 secon ds until a bleep i s heard.
2. Pre ss “+ / C / F” butt on (4) or “- / RCC” button ( 8) to se lect

BAROMETER:
The unit takes approximately 24 hours to process and analyse the
recorded barometric pressure data. Prior to 24 hours, the pressure
trend and weather forecasts may not reflect actual weather
forecast for your area.
READING PRESSURE TREND:
Recorded memory of the barometric pressure changes are
displayed with 3 arrows to show pressure trend.
Note: It is only possible to measure the barometric pressure
trend properly when the unit remains at the same altitude
location. When moving around at dif ferent altitudes within
a short period of time, the air pressure and the barometric
pressure will change. The pressure trend will only be correct
and regular if the unit remains at a constant location altitude
for 24 hours or more.
F R O N T
B A C K
TO RECALL RECORDED PRESSURE HISTORY READING:
The barometric pressure reading is recorded in hourly intervals
and can be recalled and displayed for the previous 12 hours.
Press “History” button (5) repeatedly to view pressure recorded
for the past hours. “-1 HR ” indicates the pressure of the previous
hour . The pressure reading history will appear for 20 seconds
before the current pressure reading returns.
TO SYNCHRONISE CLOCK WITH RCC:
1. Where available, the clock will automatically synchronise with
the radio control towers at the following time: 02:03, 03:03,
04:03, 05:03.
2. User may also manually synchronise the clock by following the
instructions below .
3. Hold down the “- / RCC” button (8) for approximately 3 seconds
until symbol is flashing.
4. When this signal is flashing, the clock is attempting to
synchronise with the radio control tower . The symbol will flash
when a strong signal is received and the clock will synchronise
with the radio control tower . This process can take up to 7
minutes. The symbol will stop flashing and will be displayed
once the signal is received and is in synchronisation.
5. The symbol will not be displayed if the clock is not able to
synchronise within this period of time. User may manually
synchronise again at a later time or , the clock will automatically
attempts to synchronise at the above mentioned times.
6. Please note all other clock / weather station settings cease to
function when the clock is in RCC synchronisation mode. Wait
until the clock is no longer attempting to synchronise or it is
synchronising to set other clock and weather station function.
7. If the alarm goes off during synchronisation mode, RCC
synchronisation will cease immediately . Follow the above
instructions again to set synchronisation.

CONFIGURING THE THERMOMETER:
The weather station is equipped to synchronise up to 3 remote
temperature sensors. One remote temperature sensor is included.
Additional remote temperature sensors are available for purchase
separately . Please contact your local distributor to purchase these
sensors.
BA TTERIES INST ALLA TION:
1. Open battery compartment at the back of the unit by removing
the two small screws (RTS 2) with a Philips head screwdriver .
(see figure 4)
2. Install / replace with 2x “AAA” size batteries in the compartment.
It is recommended that only alkaline batteries are used. Do not
use rechargeable batteries.
3. The weather station is capable of receiving up to 3 different
channels. Select the channel number (1, 2, or 3) by sliding the
“Channel 1 2 3” switch (RTS 5). If you only have 1 remote
temperature sensor , select 1.
4. Press the “reset” button (RTS 4) once and the red light will flash
once.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover at the back of the unit
by tightening the two screws (RTS 2).
INST ALLA TION
1. Place the remote temperature sensor at a desired place by
mounting the unit on a screw (screw not included) using the
hole for hanging (RTS 1). Alternatively , the unit can be place on
a flat horizontal surface.
2. The unit can be placed indoor or outdoor . The unit is weather-
proof. Do not submerge unit in water . Do not expose unit to
water for prolonged periods. Avoid accumulation of water and
or snow on unit. Avoid exposing unit to direct sunlight. Remove
unit from the exterior location in extreme or harsh weather
conditions, including but not limited to hurricane, typhoon, and
cyclones seasons. Do not place the unit in area of high winds.
3. Do not place the remote temperature sensor more than 30
meters (98 feet) from the receiving weather station unit. The
remote temperature sensor is more effective if there are no
obstructions and interference between the remote temperature
sensor and the weather station. The remote temperature sensor
might have to be closer than 30 meters if the weather station is
not able to receive signals. This may be due to obstructions
and or interference. The user might need to experiment with
various locations to get the best reception.
4. If there is a change in power source in the main unit (i.e. from
batteries to AC-DC adapter or vice versa), press "TX" button
(RTS 3) on the remote temperature sensors to reconfigure
remote temperature sensors. See figure 5.
CONFIGURING WEA THER ST A TION UNIT T O RECEIVE
REMOTE TEMPERA TURE SIGNALS:
1. Follow the above instructions to set up remote temperature
sensor .
2. Press “Channel” button (7) on weather station for 3 seconds.
The symbol will flash. This will reset all temperature
memories.
3. The weather station will begin scanning for signals for channel 1.
As soo n as signa ls are rec eived fro m channe l 1, the te mperatur e
will be displayed. The weather station will automatically scan for
other channels. It will scan each channel for approximately 3
seconds before skipping to the next channel.
4. Once all your channels are received by the unit, press “Channel”
button (7) once to confirm the channel. The symbol will no
longer be displayed.
5. The weather station will receive a new signal automatically
every 30 seconds to update the remote temperature.
6. Press “Channel” button (7) on weather station repeatedly to
select between channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3.
7. The symbol will be displayed on the weather station unit if any
of the remote temperature sensor's batteries need replacing.
T EM P ER ATU R E ME M ORY:
Press “Max / Min” button (4) to display maximum recorded
temperature, minimum recorded temperature and current
temperature. “max” indicates maximum temperature. “min”
indicates minimum temperature
T EM P ER ATU R E DI S PL A Y:
1. The “IN” temperature displays the indoor temperature. It is the
temperature of the actual location of the weather station.
2. The “OUT” temperature displays the temperature of the remote
temperature sensors.
3. Press “Channel” button (7) on weather station repeatedly to
display the temperature of channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3.
