If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45
seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another
45 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on
910MHz. This will also be done for re-synchronization.
II. Start Up Sequence
A. Initial Start
1. Immediately after the batteries have been installed, the Wireless
Weather Station will sound a “beep”, and the LCD will completely
light up for a brief moment.
2. All information will then appear in normal mode, with “12:00” as
the default time and “SA.1” as the default date (2006 as the year).
3. The indoor temperature and humidity, and barometric air pressure
(as 29.92 inHg) will also be displayed.
4. There is a “satellite” icon that appears in the bottom portion of the
LCD, between the outdoor temperature and humidity — this icon
informs the user that the indoor weather station is looking for
signals from the remote thermo/hygro sensor. Within five minutes
the remote temperature and humidity should be displayed—if not,
remove batteries from all units and repeat battery installation, the
remote thermo/hygro sensor first, then the Wireless Weather
Station.
B. WWVB Reception
1. Once the batteries are installed in the Weather Station, it will
automatically search for the WWVB signal. If it receives a good
signal (which is unlikely during daylight hours in most locations),
the WWVB reception indicator (looks like a tower icon) will flash.
The Wireless Weather Station requires five full minutes of good
reception to successfully capture the signal and set to the correct
hour, minute, second, month, day and year. If the signal reception
is not successful within ten minutes, the signal search will be
cancelled and will automatically resume every hour until the signal
is successfully captured.
2. The signal is sent from Ft. Collins, Colorado only and is similar to
an AM radio signal. Atmospheric interferences such as storms,
sunspots, and even sunlight will cause the signal to not travel as
far.
3. To maximize reception, place the Wireless Weather Station in a
window facing Colorado, at least six feet from any electrical
source (computers, televisions, refrigerators, etc.). Do not move
the Wireless Weather Station while it is searching for the signal.
4. The time and date can be manually set. Once the signal is captured,
it will override any time and date set to the time zone selected.
5. Once the time and date are set, the indoor weather station will
conduct a search every night between midnight and 6:00 a.m and
