I. WEATHER FORECAST The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate and is for the next 12 to 24 hours. The weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-9075U 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

IV. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY RECORDS The WS-9075U keeps a record of the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM and date of their occurrence, for both the indoor and outdoor modes. A. VIEWING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE RECORDS 1. Press and release the MIN/MAX/+ button once. “min” temperature appears with the outdoor temperature, indicating that the minimum temperature and the time and date of occurrence are displayed.

V. OUTDOOR CHANNEL RE-LEARN MODE In case the temperature data in a particular outdoor channel often shows “--.-“ due to low battery level or false reset of a transmitter, that transmitter can be set up again individually and the “lost” channel can be re-learned again by entering the channel re-learn mode. To do this, after the individual temperature sensor is set: 1. Press and hold the CHANNEL key for 6 seconds until the channel identification number flashes. 2. Press and release the MI

VII. ADDING REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSORS (OPTIONAL) The WS-9075U is able to receive signals from 3 different remote temperature sensors. The remote temperature sensor model(s) that you choose will come with their own set of instructions—follow these instructions for a complete guide to setting up. Following are some brief instructions for the basic set-up of remote temperature sensor units with the WS-9075U. These extra sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit, or by con

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 where direc
