Desktop Weather Station

Introduction

This desktop weather station comes with weather forecasting capabil-

ities, clock, calendar, day, temperature and humidity display. It is pow-

ered by the supplied AC/DC adapter. Optional it can be powered by

batteries. It is recommended to use the AC/DC adapter at all times.

Getting started

It is recommended to set up the remote temperature sensor before

setting up the weather station / clock. See "Configuring Remote Tem-

perature Sensor(s)" below for more information.

Installing the AC/DC adapter

Remove all "AAA" batteries before plugging in AC/DC adapter if

necessary. See instructions below.

Plug in AC/DC adapter to the AC-DC input jack (11).

Connect AC/DC adapter to the mains. Ensure access to the

power adapter plug is not obstructed by furniture or such. For

safety reasons, only use the power adapter plug supplied.

Batteries installation (optional)

Open battery compartment (10) on the back of the unit.

Install / replace with 3x "AAA" size batteries in the compartment. lt

is recommended that only alkaline batteries are used.

Replace the battery compartment cover (10) on the back of the unit.

A short beep will be heard to confirm proper installation of batteries.

Batteries safety warnings

Please read all instructions carefully before use.

Install batteries correctly by matching the polarities (+/-).

Always replace a complete set of batteries.

Never mix used and new batteries.

Remove exhausted batteries immediately.

Remove batteries when not in use.

Do not recharge and do not dispose of batteries in fire as the bat-

teries may explode.

Ensure batteries are stored away from metal objects as contact

may cause a short circuit.

Avoid exposing batteries to temperature or humidity extremes or

direct sunlight.

10. Keep all batteries out of reach from children. They are a choking

hazard.

11. Please retain packaging for future reference.

Setting up the weather station

The weather station will beep once when batteries are installed or the

AC/DC adapter is plugged in.

The double digits will flash showing the level of your location above

sea level at the bottom right hand corner of the display.

Press [ +/C/F ] button (4) or [ -/RCC ] button (8) to change your unit

location level above sea level. The sea level units are in meters (1

meter equals approximately 3.28 feet). Contact your local weather

bureau or authorities for more information if required.

Press [ HISTORY ] button (5) to confirm location of the unit above

sea level.

Press [ +/C/F ] button (4) or [ -/RCC ] button (8) to change the cur-

rent weather situation of your location. See figure below for the

weather pattern that best resembles your immediate area.

Press [ HISTORY ] button (5) to confirm weather pattern.

Interpreting the weather forecast symbols

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 deter-

mine the future weather. The predicted weather forecast may not

accurately reflect the actual weather for your immediate area till 24

hours have elapsed.

The weather station will display the symbols (see above) 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:

The weather forecast is only for reference and only for domes-

tic 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 plan-

ning. And certainly NOT for life and death situations.

The weather forecast does not display the current weather. It

displays future weather situation.

Adjusting the weather station

Press [ HISTORY ] button (5) for 3 seconds until a beep is heard.

Press [ +/C/F ] button (4) or [ -/RCC ] button (8) to select between

atmospheric pressure units of pascal (hPa) to inch of mercury

(inHg).

Press [ HISTORY ] button (5) to confinn.

Press [ +/C/F ] button (4) or [ -/RCC ] button (8) to select between

absolute and relative atmospheric pressure.

Press [ HISTORY ] button (5) to confinn.

Press [ +/C/F ] button (4) or [ -/RCC ] button (8) to change your unit

location level above sea level.

Press [ HISTORY ] button (5) to confirm unit location level above

sea level.

Press [ +/C/F ] button (4) or [ -/RCC ] button (8) to change the cur-

rent weather situation for your location. See above for the weather

pattern that best resembles your immediate area.

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 prop-

erly when the unit remains at the same altitude location. When moving

around at different 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.

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 synchronize clock with RCC

Where available, this clock will automatically synchronize with

the radio control towers at the following time: 02:03, 03:03,

04:03, 05:03.

User may also manually synchronize the clock by following the

instructions below.

Hold down the [ -/RCC ] button (8) for approximately 3 seconds

until

is flashing.

When this signal is flashing, the clock is attempting to synchro-

nize with the radio control tower. The symbol

will flash when a

strong signal is received and the clock will synchronize 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 synchronization.

The symbol

will not be displayed if the clock is not able to syn-

chronize within this period of time. User may manually synchro-

nize again at a later time or the clock will automatically attempts

to synchronize at the above mentioned time.

Please note all other clock / weather station settings cease to

function when the clock is in RCC synchronization mode. Wait

until the clock is no longer attempting to synchronize or it is syn-

chronizing to set other clock and weather station functions.

lf the alarm goes off during synchronization mode, RCC synchro-

nization will cease immediately. Follow the above instructions

again to set synchronization.

RCC Zone Offset

This clock is equipped with radio controlled time adjustment. The user

will need to work out the time zone signal they receive at their current

location and make (any) adjustment as required.

This function also allows for daylight saving adjustment. Contact your

local weather bureau or authorities for more information.

Press the [ -/RCC ] button (8) once for +1 time zone.

Press the [ -/RCC ] button (8) once again for +2 time zone.

Press the [ -/RCC ] button (8) once again for -1 time zone.

Press the [ -/RCC ] button (8) once again for same time zone.

To set time manually

Hold down the [ ALM SET ] button (3) for approximately 3 sec-

onds until the display is flashing.

Press [ +/C/F ] button (4) or [ -/RCC ] button (8) to change the

hour setting. Press [ ALM SET ] button (3) to confirm.
