Introduction
Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, or Rechargeable Batteries
The Wireless Color Atomic Weather Station offers radio-controlled time, weather
forecast, indoor and outdoor temperature/humidity and heat index with dew point,
on one easy to read display.
If the weather station does not display indoor temperature after 60 seconds,
remove adapter and batteries, and wait for at least 60 seconds before powering up
the weather station again.

after 3 minutes hold the SEARCH button on the main unit to search for
outdoor sensor. Then press the TX button again on the sensor to send
signal. If that doesn’t work, remove power from both units and start again
from the beginning.
To ensure sufficient 434 MHz transmission, the outdoor transmitter should be
placed a distance of no more than 200 feet (60 meters, open air) from the
Color Weather station.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
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
atomic weather station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere,
reception is very limited during daylight hours. The atomic weather station will
search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station
derives its signal from the NIST atomic weather station in Boulder, Colorado. A
team of atomic physicists continually measures every second of every day to an
accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day. These physicists have created an
international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a
Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum. This atomic weather station regulates the WWVB
transmitter.

STATION:

WWVB RECEPTION icon with full signal strength will appear on screen if the
reception of atomic time is successful. The atomic weather station will have a daily
synchronization at 02:03 and 03:03 everyday. Each reception cycle is minimum
2.5 minutes and maximum 10 minutes.

Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall within
transmission
range of the weather station, leaving approximately 3/16 of
an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging

To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can
reach the outdoor temperature sensor. It is recommended to mount the outdoor
temperature sensor on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The
maximum transmitting range in open air is 200-feet (60 meters) obstacles such as
walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
The complete instruction manual is available at:

Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before
permanently mounting the sensor to ensure that there is proper reception. The
outdoor temperature sensor is not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere
it will become submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow.
