QUICK SETUP Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1. Have the indoor temperature station and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5 feet apart. 2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes. 3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the indoor temperature station. (All remote temperature sensors must be started before the indoor temperature station) 4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES. In this t

display will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the indoor temperature station does not display both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can place your remote temperature sensor outdoors and set your time. The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote temperature sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any wal

while viewing the minimum or maximum temperatures. Resetting Min and Max Temperatures To reset both the minimum and maximum temperatures—press and hold the “MIN/MAX” button for 5 seconds. Adding Additional Remote Temperature Sensors (optional) The WS-7208U is able to receive signals from 3 different remote temperature sensors. Following are some brief instructions for the basic set-up of remote temperature sensor units with the WS-7208U. These extra remote temperature senso

When setting up multiple remote temperature sensors, it is important to remove the batteries from all existing units in operation, then to insert batteries first into all the remote temperature sensors. Second install batteries into the indoor weather station and do not press any buttons for ten minutes. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly. To view the temperature of

over time. The WS-7208UF averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast, creating a necessity to disregard all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to another (i.e. from one floor of a building to another floor). In areas where the weather is not affected by the change of air pressure, this feature will be less accurate. Weather Icons There are 3 possible weather icons that will

Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny). Sun with Clouds— indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be sunny with clouds). Clouds with Rain— indicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that the weather will be rainy). The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in order, from “sunny” to “partly sunny” to “cloudy” or the rever

occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual. Weather Tendency Arrows Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up (on the left side of the LCD) and one that points down (on the right side of the LCD). These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to i

straight-line signal is not passing through more than two or three walls. Problem: Temperatures do not match if units are placed next to each other. Solution: Each temperature sensor is manufactured to be accurate to within 1 degree plus or minus and under normal conditions, so two sensors could be as much as 2 degrees different. However, the difference can be exaggerated further because the sensors are designed for different working environments. The indoor sensor is less responsiv
