QUICK SETUP Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temp/humidity sensor 3 to 5 feet apart. 2. Batteries should be out of all units for 10 minutes. 3. Place the batteries into the remote temp/humidity sensor first, then into the indoor weather station. (All remote temp/humidity sensors must be started before the indoor weather station) 4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES. 5

In this time the indoor weather station and remote temp/humidity sensor will start to talk to each other and the displays will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature and humidity. If the indoor weather station do not display both the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature and humidity after the 15 minutes please retry the set up as shown on page five. After both indoor temperature and outdoor temperature and humidity are displayed for 10 minutes you ca

Notes on Outdoor Sensor Placement The remote temp/humidity sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. Fog and mist will not harm your remote temp/humidity sensor but direct rain must be avoided. The remote temp/humidity sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window can have up to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall can have up to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance

C. WEATHER FORECAST The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-7213U 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 n

1. Weather Icons There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the FORECAST LCD: 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). 15

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 reverse. It will not change from “sunny” directly to “rainy”, although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual. 2. Weather Tendency Arrows Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2 weather tendency arrows, one th

pointing down indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or remain poor. No arrow means the pressure is stable and the weather should remain relatively the same D. ADDING ADDITIONAL REMOTE TEMP/HUMIDITY SENSORS (OPTIONAL) The WS-7213U is able to receive signals from 3 different remote temperature, temperature/humidity sensors. Following are some brief instructions for the basic set-up of remote sensor units with the WS-7213U. These

Note: When setting up multiple units it is important to remove the batteries from all existing units in operation, then to insert batteries first into all the remote sensor units, and in numeric sequence. Second, install batteries into the indoor weather station. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly and if the total time for set-up exceeds
