QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Hint: Use good quality alkaline batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1. Place the projection alarm and remote temperature sensor 3-5 feet apart. 2. Batteries should not be installed into either unit for 15 minutes. 3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first and then into the projection alarm. 4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES. In this time the display and the sensor will begin to communicate with each other. The

3. The indoor temperature will take time to adjust to the surrounding temperature as the sensor is inside the case. 4. If the remote temperature is placed next to the projection alarm, more often than not the temperatures will not be exact with one another. This is not a defect, but simply reflects the difference in measuring methods. The remote temperature is designed for changing temperature at a wider range. E. INDOOR HUMIDITY 1. The projection alarm measures indoor humidity with an

NOTE: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the projection alarm clock to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying

3. WEATHER BOY FORECASTING ICONS: A total of 15 Weather Boy icons combinations can be displayed depending on outdoor temperature and air pressure recorded from the remote temperature sensor only. Once the temperature and air pressure are recorded, the projection alarm clock automatically display the appropriate Weather Boy icon as an indication of current weather and suggestion for dressing up accordingly. The icon will remain permanently visualized on the LCD once it registered a chan
