SET UP:
IMPORTANT: Do not mix old and new batteries. Alkaline batteries
are recommended.
INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE TRANSMITTER:
Remove the screws and the battery cover from the back of the
TX186 transmitter with a small screwdriver.
Select the channel to transmit the outdoor temperature to the display.
NOTE: if using more than one transmitter, set each to a different
channel to be displayed on the weather station.
Insert two fresh AAA alkaline batteries into the transmitter,
observing the correct polarity (see markings in battery compartment).
Keep transmitter 5-10 feet from the weather station.
Select Fahrenheit or Celsius for the sensor display.
The transmitter display should be showing a temperature reading.
If not please check battery polarity or try a new set of batteries.
INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION:
Remove the battery cover from the weather station:
Insert a finger in the rounded depression at the bottom of
the battery cover.
Lift up and pull out to remove battery cover.
Install two fresh AA alkaline batteries according to the polarity
markings.
Replace battery cover.
Within 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter, insert
batteries into the Weather station. Once the batteries are in
place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the
indoor temperature will be displayed. If the indoor temperature is
not shown in the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries
and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.
FAHRENHEIT/CELSIUS:
Weather station: Press and release the -/
button once to switch from
Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Transmitter: Remove the battery cover then press and release the C/F
button on the transmitter to select Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Channels: If more than one transmitter is used, set each transmitter to a
different channel. To view channels on the display: press the CH button to
select Ch1, Ch2, Ch3 and auto-channel scrolling display modes.
Auto-channel will show a circling arrow above the channel number and
will rotate through each channel approximately every 5-8 seconds.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and
transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at
60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the
internal antenna in the atomic weather station. However, due to the nature
of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours.
The atomic weather station will search for a signal every night when
reception is best.
If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the WWVB tower does
not appear at all, then check the following:
Recommended distance from any interfering sources like computer
monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters).
Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the
received signal is weakened. In extreme cases, please place
the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the
Fort Collins, Colorado, transmitter.
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe
and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is
adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
WWVB RECEPTION icon with full signal strength will appear on
screen if the reception of atomic time is successful. The atomic weather
station will have a daily synchronization at 02:03 and 03:03 everyday. Each
reception cycle is minimum 2.5 minutes and maximum 10 minutes.
LOW BATTERY:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units every 12 months to
ensure optimum accuracy of these units. A low battery icon will display next
to the outdoor temperature when the transmitter batteries are low and next
to the indoor temperature then the batteries in the weather station are low.
FUNCTION BUTTONS: SNOOZE (on top), MEM, CH, SET/ZONE, AL,
+/

, BARO, UP ARROW, and DOWN ARROW.
PROGRAM MENU: The Program menu involves several sections controlled
by different buttons. Buttons are located at the top and the back of the
weather station.
NOTE: The time cannot be manually set while the weather station is actively
searching for a WWVB signal. Please wait 3 minutes if signal search is in
progress.
