The indicator will also be displayed on the bottom left corner of the remote sensors screen. When the main units LCD display becomes dim, it indicates that the batteries are low and need to be changed. Note: if the sensor is exposed to very low temperatures for an extended period of time, the batteries may lose power which may cause the transmission range to be limited. High temperatures also reduce the battery performance. Notes: · The SM1760 comes with one receiver and one remote sensor. If you wish to buy additional sensors please refer to the section ACCESSORIES at the end of this manual. · Use a different house code if your weather station detects other signals from neighbouring sources. Else, use default settings: house code = 01 and channel = 01 English English SETUP Automatic Learning Function 1. Learn function executes automatically and runs for approximately 3 minutes when the batteries are first installed in the receiver. 2. Within these 3 minutes, the receiver picks up the temperature & humidity signals from the remote sensor and displays the readings. GETTING STARTED Setting the remote sensor 1 2 Unscrew the battery cover and insert batteries to begin the settings. The house code will flash for 8 seconds. Select a house code (1-15) by pressing °C/°F [8] and then press SET [7]. The house code is the frequency signal sent by the remote sensor to the receiver. The remote sensors for each receiver must be set to the same house code, and remember to press SET. The channel will flash for 8 seconds. Select a channel (1-3) by pressing °C/°F [8] and then press SET [7]. The channel function allows the receiver to identify each remote sensor. Each receiver can receive up to 3 different remote channels. The preferred channel number (1, 2 or 3) for each individual remote sensor can be assigned. However, channel 1 is used for collecting data from outdoor and activating the weather forecast symbols. If you only have one remote sensor, please set it at channel 1 and place it outdoors. Humidity and temperature will be displayed. Toggle between °C or °F temperature display by pressing °C/°F key [8]. Insert 3 x AA batteries at the back of the main unit. 3 Manual-Learning (Searching for Remote Signals) If a new remote sensor is added or if the signal is lost (outdoor display blinking), the learning function must be executed again. 1. Press and hold CHN [4] for 3 seconds to start. 2. A beep sound indicates that the learning function has started. 3. The 'Channel' symbol will flash and unit will beep as each remote sensor is detected. 4. Temperature & humidity readings of remote sensor are displayed on the receiver. Note: Auto/Manual Learn will not operate while the radio controlled clock is receiving DCF77 or MSF signals. 4 5 6 7 8 Copyright © Lexibook 2006 5 6 Copyright © Lexibook 2006 SM1760IM0036 GB7 SM1760IM0036 GB8 English Fixing your remote sensor and receiver The remote sensor has a detachable cover with both a wall mount holder and a stand [12]. To fix it on a wall, make sure the stand is not pulled out and fix the holder on a hook or nail. To fix the stand on a shelf or table, simply pull it out and make sure it is well secured. The remote sensor should be fixed on a smooth surface to prevent altering the range of the date transmission. To ensure a good transmission, the remote sensor should not installed on or near a large metal surface. Before choosing the location of the remote sensor, test that the receiver can receive the signals. It is also recommended that the remote sensor is placed as close as possible to the receiver to eliminate any interference. The receiver also has a wall mount holder and a stand. To place it, use the same precautions as for the remote sensor. Backlight The default state of the Backlight is ON. To turn the backlight on, press either Mode [1] or Snooze [5]. It will stay on for about 10 seconds. To disable it: at year setting mode (see section on manual clock setting), press the SNOOZE [5] key once, press another time to switch it on again. 2. When the reception is complete, the Radio Tower symbol will stop blinking and remain solid. The clock automatically scans the time signal at 02:07 everyday to maintain accurate timing. 3. If the clock is within the range of both the DCF77 and MSF radio signals, you can toggle between the 2 signals by sliding the DCF/MSF RCC key [10]. Notes: · For an optimal reception, place the clock away from metal objects and electrical appliances (i.e. television, computer, monitor, etc.) to minimize interference. · If the user sets the time (year/month/date/hour/minute) manually, the unit will stop receiving the radio control clock signals. MANUAL CLOCK SETTING Clock 1 setting 1. Press and hold mode [1] for 3 seconds to enter the clock setting mode (the CLOCK 1 symbol will appear, and the time will flash). 2.

Press MODE [1] to set the date and month. Note: · If you do not press any key for one minute, the clock will accept the last settings entered. · February will have either 28 or 29 days. Your weather station will display the 29th day on bissextile years. English CLOCK AND DATE SETTINGS RADIO CONTROL CLOCK The SM1760 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar clock once it is brought within the reception range of a radio signal. There are 2 different radio signals: - DCF77 signal, for GMT +1 (France, Spain, Italy, Germany); 2 - MSF signal, for GMT (UK, Ireland, Portugal). The DCF77 signal will be received if the main unit is within 1500 km of the Frankfurt atomic clock. Your main unit will be automatically synchronised with the MSF signal if located within the UK radio signal range. 1. The clock automatically starts scanning the RF 433MHz signal after new batteries are inserted in the main unit. When receiving radio signal, the Radio Tower symbol starts to blink. A complete reception generally takes several minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal. The scan can also be triggered manually by holding the Min/- key [3] for 3 seconds.
