The maximum transmission range is 200 feet (60.96 m) from the outdoor transmitter to the Solar
Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference
levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to
be reset (see “TO REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION” and “INITIAL SETUP”).
TO REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION
The Weather Station uses either the included 2 x solar-rechargeable batteries (charged by solar
panel) or 2 x AA standard alkaline batteries (non-rechargeable; not included).
The Weather Station comes with special solar-rechargeable batteries that should provide many
years of service. If the batteries lose their ability to hold a charge, please dispose of them
responsibly. Do NOT attempt to recharge the included solar-rechargeable batteries outside of the
WS-8120U.Use standard alkaline batteries or contact customer support for more information.
*Once the solar-rechargeable batteries are removed from the Weather Station, slide the battery
switch to the left position before replacing the batteries.
REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF BATTERIES TO BE INSTALLED, THE BATTERY SWITCH
MUST BE IN THE LEFT POSITION WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE INSERTED.
If new solar rechargeable batteries are used, the battery switch should be moved to the right
SOLAR position AFTER they are inserted in the unit.
REPLACE INCLUDED SOLAR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES WITH STANDARD ALKALINE
BATTERIES
1.
Remove the included solar rechargeable batteries from the compartment.
2.
Slide the battery switch to the LEFT to select the alkaline battery.
3.
Insert new, 2 x standard alkaline batteries into the compartment, observing the correct
polarity (see marking inside battery compartment or on the case).

Note: For best performance, standard alkaline batteries should be replaced at least once every 2
years to maintain the best running accuracy. Ensure that the batteries used are new and the correct
size.
Please help in the preservation of the environment and return used batteries to an
authorized depot.
