3. Do not press any buttons for at least ten minutes. If a button is pressed before the
indoor weather station has received information from the TX4U sensor, no data
will be received from that sensor until reset.
4. Replace the battery cover.
II. Start Up Sequence
A. Initial Start
1. Immediately after the batteries have been installed, the indoor 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 "TH.1" as the default date (2004 as the year).
3. The indoor temperature and humidity, and barometric air pressure (as 29.91 inHg
relative RH) 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 tem-
perature sensor first, then the indoor weather station.
B. WWVB Reception
1. Once the batteries are installed in the Weather Center, 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 indoor 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 two hours
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 indoor weather station in a window facing
Colorado, at least six feet from any electrical source (computers, televisions,
refrigerators, etc.). Do not move the indoor 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 over-
ride 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 at midnight and correct to the accurate time and date (Daylight Sav-
ing Time is automatic). If the signal has been received in the past 24 hours, the
reception indicator will be displayed.

IV. Function Key Layout
A. The below picture shows the five function keys used in programming and opera-
tion of your indoor weather station
V. Program Mode
The program mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each function
separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program the indoor weather
center. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up, and will require
you to skip step 1,2 and 3 of each programming section. The programming mode
can be exited at any time by either pressing the "Snooze/CH" button, or waiting for
the 15-second time-out to take effect.
