2 INITIAL OPERATION AND NOTES2.1 Initial Operation

• Open the weather station battery compartment, insert 2 x AA batteries observing polarity [ “+” and ” ­” marks]
• Remove the battery compartment on the Wireless Remote Sensor, insert 2 x AA batteries observing the correct polarity (+ and – marks) and close the battery compartment.
• When the power is connected all the icons on the LCD display will light up for 3 seconds, you will hear a beep tone and the weather station will start to detect the indoor temperature and humidity
• The weather station will start to make a connection to the outdoor remote sensor. This operation takes about 3 minutes and is displayed by a flashing reception RF icon “” in the “Remote Sensor” display area on the receiver.
• Once the weather station has created a connection to the outdoor sensor the clock will start automatically searching for the WWVB Signal to set the time and date. The radio mast icon “” will flash showing it is searching for signal, it may take up to 7 minutes to search.
