ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time) The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station 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 weather station. However, due to the nature of the earth’s ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The weather stat

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5 apart. 2. Batteries should be out of both units. 3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the indoor weather station. (All remote temperature sensors must be started before the indoor weather station) 4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES. In this time the indoor weather station

MOUNTING Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor weather station is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the indoor weather station and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting wher
