WEATHER FORECAST ICONS:
The Forecast Station predicts weather condition for the next 12-hours based on the change of
atmospheric pressure. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we cannot be
responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. When first set up allow the clock 48-hours to
acclimate to the environment and correctly Forecast Station forecast icons.
The icons forecast the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as
each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does
not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has
dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.
Note: After initial set-up, readings for Weather Forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48 hours.
This will allow sufficient time for the Forecast Station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and
therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
For every sudden or significant change in the Air Pressure, the Forecast Icons will update accordingly to
represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not
changed or the change has been too slow for the Forecast Station to register.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting
feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Forecast Station
has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny
to rain), the Forecast Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is
stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
If the Forecast Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing
point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), disregard the weather forecast for
the next 48-60 hours. By doing this, the Forecast Station will not mistake the new location as being a
possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.

LCD SCREEN:
The LCD screen is split into 5 sections displaying the information for time, calendar, weather forecast,
indoor data, and outdoor data.
MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE/HUMIDTY DATA: This Forecast Station features daily minimum and
maximum temperatures each day starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The clock automatically resets the
min/max temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).
VIEW MIN/MAX:
 MAX: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button once to view maximum
temperature and humidity values for Indoor and Outdoor data. The word MAX will appear next to the
indoor and outdoor temperature.
 MIN: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button twice to view minimum temperature
and humidity values for Indoor or Outdoor data. The word MIN will appear next to the indoor and
outdoor temperature.
 RESET MIN/MAX: Hold the MIN/MAX button for 5 seconds to reset all indoor and outdoor minimum
and maximum values. (The clock automatically resets the min/max temperatures at midnight: 12:00
AM).
Note: If you are using multiple transmitters connected to the clock, all channels will reset at the same
time.

HEAT INDEX:
Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. It is the apparent temperature of how hot it feels to
a human being. When relative humidity increases, the air feels warmer than it actually is because your
body is less able to cool effectively by evaporation of perspiration.
Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the temperature is above 80 degrees
°F (26.7°C).
View Heat Index: From a normal display press the HEAT/DEW button once and the Heat Index will show
(indoor/outdoor) instead of the ambient temperature. The words Heat Index will show near the indoor and
outdoor temperatures.
DEW POINT:
Dew point is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which the air has to be cooled in order to
create condensation. The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given
temperature. Dew Point Temperature is the absolute measure of the moisture in the air at a given
temperature. Relative humidity is the relative measure of moisture in the air at a certain temperature.
Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.
View Dew Point: From a normal display press the HEAT/DEW button twice and the Dew Point
temperature will show (indoor/outdoor) instead of the ambient temperature. The words Dew Point will
show near the indoor and outdoor temperatures.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY FLASHING:
 Low battery icon
present: Change batteries in the transmitter, and then hold the CH button until
the station beeps to search for the outdoor transmitter again.
 End of Transmission Range: Move the transmitter closer to the Forecast Station. Avoid
obstructions in the signal path. Keep transmitter and Forecast Station away from electronics.
LOW BATTERY ICON:
 When this icon appears in the indoor (IN) data reading section, replace the batteries in the Forecast
Station.
 When this icon
appears in the outdoor (OUT) data readings section, replace the batteries in the
outdoor transmitter.

USE MULTIPLE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTERS:
The Forecast Station will accommodate up to three remote outdoor transmitters (TX14TH). The channel
selection button allows you to easily see the temperature in various locations: outdoors, baby’s room,
greenhouse, basement, etc.
To connect multiple remote transmitters to the Forecast Station:
1. Remove the battery cover from all the transmitters (Leave battery covers
off until all transmitters are received by the Forecast Station).
2. Set the first outdoor transmitter to Channel 1 and insert 2-AA batteries.
3. Set the second outdoor transmitter to Channel 2 and insert 2-AA
batteries.
4. Set the third outdoor transmitter to Channel 3 and insert 2-AA batteries.
5. Press and hold CH button on Forecast Station until a beep sounds. The
Forecast Station will search for all outdoor transmitters.
6. Press the TX button on the back of each outdoor transmitter to transmit
RF signal.
7. When RF connection is established, the respective temperature &
humidity for each of the selected channels will appear on the main unit.
8. Allow the transmitters and the Forecast Station to stay 5-10 feet apart for 15 minutes to establish a
solid connection.
9. Install the battery covers on each sensor.
10. After 15 minutes place the remote transmitters in appropriate locations (see “position the outdoor
transmitter”).
Press and release the 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.
CHANNEL SCROLL: Press and release the CH button until you see the word AUTO appear in the
outdoor data area. The Forecast Station will automatically rotate through the channels for all connected
transmitters.
Press and release the CH button to lock the Forecast Station into one channel. Then view channels
individually with a press of the CH button.
