LOST COMMUNICATION If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading goes blank, press and hold DOWN ( ) button for 2 seconds to begin a new signal search. If the signal still isn't received, please make sure that: • The remote sensor is in its proper location. • The distance between main unit and remote sensor(s) is not over 100 feet (30 meters) • The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the distance if necessary. • Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor and main unit. If there is no reception, please perform the following steps: • Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together. • Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the remote sensor with small Phillips screwdriver, and open the battery compartment. • Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal. • Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in the same manner. • On the main unit select the same channel number using CHANNEL button as set on the remote sensor. The remote temperature appeared on the main unit's display will show that transmission is being received successfully. TRANSMISSION COLLISION Signals from the other household devices such as wireless doorbells, home security systems, and entry control, may interfere with this product or cause temporary reception interruption. This is normal and will not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of the temperature readings will resume once the interference subsides. WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station (WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal continuously throughout the most of the continental United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Weather Forecaster can receive this WWVB signal through the internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth's ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station that receives the atomic time signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. The WWVB tower icon on the unit's display will flash indicating a radio signal reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and date are not set automatically, please consider the following: • During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second. • Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc. • Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always place the Projection Clock near the window for better reception. 13 14 ATOMIC CLOCK Immediately after establishing communication between the main unit and remote sensor, the atomic time signal receiver will open and start to search for the atomic time signal. The search usually takes between 5-8 minutes. NOTE: Do not press any buttons on the main unit during auto search as it may interrupt product's operation, and you will need to start set up procedure again. Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set automatically, and the [ ] icon will appear. NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, having in mind that the default zone is a US Pacific Standard Time (PST). (Refer to MANUAL SETTINGS section) If the time signal has not been received in 8 minutes, you may use the MODE button to set the time and date manually. (Refer to the MANUAL SETTINGS section). After the clock is set manually, place the Weather Station by the window for the better reception. The atomic clock receiver is programmed that it will continue to search for the atomic time signal daily for every hour between 1:00 am and 4:30 am. Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and date will be updated automatically. CLOCK AND CALENDAR DISPLAY WINDOW The Weather Forecaster with Dual Projection displays current time in two display modes - in hour-minutesseconds format and in hour-minutes-day. The date is displayed in month-date format below the current time with the day of the week and US map. 15 MANUAL SETTINGS It is necessary to set the desired US TIME ZONE. TIME ZONE • Press MODE button so that the Day of the Week abbreviation is displayed to the right of the time; for example: pm 2:37tu • Select the Time Zone by pressing and holding UP ( ) button for 3 seconds • Keep holding UP ( ) button until the desired US Time Zone (Pacific, Mountain, Central or Eastern) is highlighted on the display's US map, located to the right of the time display and above the day of the week • Release the UP ( ) button. The Time Zone is set CLOCK • Press and hold MODE button for 3 seconds: the year will flash. Press UP ( ) or DOWN ( ) to change flashing digits. • After the year is set, press MODE button to confirm and move to the next parameter. • Continue setting month, date, hour, minutes, language for the day of the week and temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius • Press MODE for the last time to return to the time of day with seconds, after the last parameter is set. CLOCK ALARMS The Weather Forecaster with Dual Projection has two time alarms - Weekday alarm (W) and Single day alarm(S) - and one Ice Warning Alarm (PRE-AL). • If Weekday alarm is activated, it will sound at the set time and the alarm icon will flash Mondays through Fridays • If Single day alarm is activated, it will sound at the set time and the alarm icon will flash only for this specific day and will not activate on subsequent days • If Ice Warning Alarm is activated, in will sound at the set time and alarm icon will flash once the remote temperature for Channel One (1) will reach 32°F(0°C) and below NOTE: Ice Warning Alarm can be set only if one or both - Weekday or Single alarm are programmed. 16
