WWVB RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME SIGNAL
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 forecast station. However, due to
the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during
daylight hours. The forecast station will search for a signal every night
when reception is best.
Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the forecast station, the
WWVB tower icon in the station will start flashing in the top center of
the LCD. This indicates that the forecast station has detected a radio
signal and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the
WWVB tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed.
If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the
WWVB tower does not appear at all, then please take note of
the following:
•
Recommended distance to 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 naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please
place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back
towards the Fort Collins, Colorado.
•
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.
Note: In case the forecast station is not able to detect the WWVB-
signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be
manually set (please refer to notes SET TIME).
SET TIME ALARM
Press and hold the ALM/DATE button for five
seconds. The alarm hour will flash to the

station needs fresh batteries.
MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE READINGS
This forecast station will show the min/max temperatures from setup,
until you reset the min/max temperatures or remove the batteries from
the forecast station.
Note: To view a 24-hour min/max reading, reset the min/max
temperatures at the same time each day.
VIEW INDOOR MIN/MAX RECORDS: Press and release the IN
button to display Indoor Max, Min and Current records.
RESET INDOOR MIN/MAX RECORDS: Press and release the IN
button to select the record you wish to reset, either MAX or
MIN. Press and hold the SET button for five seconds. The record is
now reset to the Current Date, Temperature and Humidity.
Note: Each Min or Max value will need to be reset separately.
VIEW OUTDOOR MIN/MAX RECORDS: Press and release the
OUT/+ button to display the Outdoor Max, Min and Current records.
RESET OUTDOOR MIN/MAX RECORDS: Press and release the
OUT/+ button to select the record you wish to reset. Press and hold
the SET button for five seconds. The record is now reset to the Current
Date, Temperature and Humidity.
Note: Each Min or Max value will need to be reset separately.
Note: Press the SNOOZE/CH to view outdoor minimum/maximum
reading when using multiple transmitters.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE CHANNEL INDICATOR
When using multiple transmitters, the
channel indicator will show between the
outdoor temperature and humidity reading.
Press and release the SNOOZE/CH button to view channel 1, 2 or 3
on the forecast station when multiple transmitters are used.
Note: You cannot change channels if only one transmitter is
connected.
Note: The channel indicator only shows when more than one
transmitter is received.
MOON PHASE
The moon phase is based on the year, month and date, set manually
or set by the WWVB signal.
COMFORT LEVEL ICON FOR INDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
The comfort level indicator appears in between the indoor temperature
and humidity.
Happy Face will display when the temperature is between 68 and 79
degrees Fahrenheit (20 and 25.9 degrees Celsius) and the humidity is
between 45% and 64% Rh.
Sad Face will be displayed when the temperature and humidity are
outside the above mentioned ranges.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE READINGS
NUMERIC AIR PRESSURE READING: The actual barometric air
pressure is displayed directly under the weather forecast icon. You
can set this to your local reporting station through the program menu.
AIR PRESSURE HISTORY BAR CHART:
The bar graph shows the recorded air
pressure over the past 24-hours in hPa.
The horizontal axis shows the hours at
increments of -24 hours, -18 hours, -12
