User manual OREGON SCIENTIFIC BAR686A

LCD DISPLAY CLOCK CLOCK RECEPTION This product is designed to synchronize its date and time automatically once it is within range of the WWVB-60 signal from the atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. The sensor collects the radio signals whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal. NOTE Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes for first set up or when RESET is pressed. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. If the signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to get a valid signal.

To disable the signal reception: Press and hold for 2 seconds. flashes when it is disabled. For best results: · Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture. · Do not place the sensor more than 30 m (100 ft) from the main (indoor) unit. · Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture. · Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects. · Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures may affect battery performance and signal transmission. The transmission range may vary depending on many factors. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results. SET CLOCK To manually set the clock make sure the clock signal reception is disabled. 1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds. 2. Select the US time zone (Pacific (P), Eastern (E), Central (C) and Mountain (M)), hour, minute, year, month/day format, month, day and language. Press or to change the setting. 3. Press MODE to confirm. NOTE The language options are (E) English, (D) German, (F) French, (I) Italian, and (S) Spanish.

Wall mount hole 2. RESET hole 3. CHANNEL switch 4. Battery compartment Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of approximately -12°C (10°F). Disposable Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature with an estimated freezing range of below -30°C (-22°F). Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base station. If the unit's performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures). SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds. The sensor reception icon in the remote sensor area shows the status. ICON DESCRIPTION Main unit is searching for the sensor(s) A channel has been found Sensor 1 is sending data and "- - . -" (Outdoor temperature area) The sensor cannot be found.
