Mode: C8366-PD13138M PANTONE: 445C SIZE:A4 RADIO CONTROLLED PROJECTOR CLOCK WITH WEATHER FORECAST Users instructions Thank you for your purchase of this Radio Controlled weather station clock. The utmost care has gone into the design and manufacture of your clock. This instruction is used for DCF &
MSF & WWVB versions, and the LCD display and temperature used US version for reference. So please read the instruction carefully according to the version you purchased and keep the manual well for future reference. The multifunctional weather station is equipped with many functions providing thorough weather information to you. The receiver unit has a clear, easy-to-read display that shows weather forecast, minimum/maximum indoor and outdoor temperature, as well as time and date. It is able to receive and display readings from up to 3 remote sensors. The 433 MHz technology means no wire installation is required and you can place the sensors anywhere you like. With radio controlled function, the current time and date are automatically synchronized with the time signal transmitted from Germany (DCF77) / UK (MSF) / USA (WWVB) (It depends on which version you purchase).

Arrow indicator Pressure trend Rising Steady Falling WEATHER FORECAST INDICATOR The built-in barometer can notice atmospheric pressure changes. Based on the data collected, it can predict the weather condition in the forthcoming 24 hours. Rainy/Stormy Slightly Cloudy Sunny Cloudy Snowy Note:
1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather forecast is about 70% to 75%. 2. The weather forecast is meant for next 24 hours, it may not necessarily reflect the current situation. 3. The Snowy weather forecast is not based on the atmosphere pressure, but based on the outdoor temperature. When the outdoor temperature is below -3C (26F), the Snowy weather indicator will be displayed on the LCD. 4. The Rainy and Stormy icons are different only in the dropping frequency of the rain. The rain dropping frequency in the Stormy icon is faster than that in the Rainy icon.

Try out where your multifunctional alarm clock receives the signals best. CHECKING AND DELETING MAX/MIN TEMPERATURE RECORDS 1. 2. Press MAX/MIN key once to check the maximum temperature records. Press it twice to check the minimum records. Press it again to exit. Press and hold MAX/MIN for 3 seconds to delete the maximum and minimum temperature records, with beep tone. MAX temperature record MIN temperature record VIEWING THE CHANNEL The default channel is Channel 1. In normal time mode, press UP key to view the channels from 1 to 3. Besides, the channels can automatically switch by pressing and holding the UP key for 2 seconds, with beep tone. TEMPERATURE TREND The temperature-trend indicator shows the trends of changes Press the SNOOZE/LIGHT key to turn the projector on, rotate the projector to project the light beam to a dark background within 1-3 meters, the projected data will be displayed on the dark background as following diagram. Note:
1. Press the SNOOZE/LIGHT key once, back light and the key will projection last for 5 seconds, then press the reverse the projected data. 2. If power the unit with batteries and adaptor togother, the projector will be continuous on. 3. The rotate angle of the projector is 90. 4. Adjust & tune the focus of the projection by adjusting the FOCUS knob. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR When the LCD becomes dim, replace with 3 x AA size batteries at once; while if the low battery indicator displays in the outdoor temperature window, it indicates that the battery power of the transmitter is not enough, and you should replace with 2 x AA size batteries at once.
