[. . . ] WS-8017U ATOMIC CLOCK WITH OUTDOOR WIRELESS TEMPERATURE Instruction Manual INTRODUCTION: Congratulations on purchasing this state-of-the-art Atomic Clock as an example of superior design and engineering. Providing WWVB radio-controlled time, date, time zone, indoor and outdoor temperature display, this innovative clock is ideal for home or office use. By reading this operating manual, the user will however receive a better understanding of the Atomic Clock together with the optimum benefit of all its features. · Indoor temperature display · Outdoor temperature display via 433MHz transmission · Wall mount or freestanding OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER: Holder FEATURES: ATOMIC CLOCK: Hanging holes LCD1 display LCD2 display Function keys Foldable stand Battery cover · Remote transmission of outdoor temperature to the Atomic clock by 433 MHz signals · Wall mounting case TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE ATOMIC CLOCK The Atomic Clock uses 2 x AA, 1. 5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1. [. . . ] The characters "°C" or "°F" will start flashing on LCD1 (Default setting °F). By use of the + key select "°C" for temperature display in degrees Celsius or "°F" for degrees Fahrenheit. Press and release the SET key to exit the setting mode and switch back to the normal display mode . To return to the normal display mode from anywhere in manual setting mode simply press the SNZ key anytime. If no keys are pressed for at least 15 seconds in setting mode, the Atomic Clock will automatically switch back to normal display mode. To deactivate the alarm (OFF), press and release once the ALM key in normal mode display. The alarm icon will disappear, the alarm is now off 12/24 HOURS TIME DISPLAY SETTING SNOOZE SETTING The snooze can only be activated during alarm time for a snooze duration of 10 minutes by pressing the SNZ key on the back of the clock OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER: The temperature is measured and transmitted to the Atomic Clock every 1 minute. The range of the Outdoor Temperature Transmitter may be affected by the temperature. Also the batteries may be reduced in power. °C OR °F TEMPERATURE SETTING 433MHz RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER The Atomic Clock will receive the temperature data within 4 minutes. If the temperature data is not being received 4 minutes after setting up (the display shows "- - -"), then please check the following points: 1. The distance of the Atomic Clock or Outdoor Temperature Transmitter should be at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames. EXIT THE MANUAL SETTING MODES · · 3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause interference. Note: When the 433 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the Outdoor Temperature Transmitter or Atomic Clock, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the Atomic Clock, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate temperatures readings 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 direct sunlight can reach the OutdoorTemperature Transmitter. It is recommended to mount the Outdoor Temperature Transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range is 82 feet (25 meters) obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. [. . . ] Interferences from other electrical devices operating on the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception. "OFL" appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD. 1) Wait until the current surrounding temperature cools down or increases. Current temperature is outside of the measuring range of the transmitter. [. . . ]
