GETTING STARTED  
1. Open the battery compartment with a small Phillips  
screwdriver and insert the batteries matching the  
polarity (+ and -) as shown below.  
BATTERIES  
Batteries are supplied with this product:

4 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V  
2 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V  
2 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V  
Remote control  
Remote sensor  
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity  
as shown in the battery compartment. For best results,  
install batteries in the remote sensor before the main  
unit. Press RESET after each battery change.  
2. Set the channel by pressing the CHANNEL button  
to the required number. If you are using more than  
one sensor, select a different channel for each  
sensor.  
To install the main unit batteries:  
3. Slide the EU / UK switch to the setting which best  
suits your location.  
4. Press RESET.  
5. Place the sensor near the main unit.  
6. Press SEARCH to manually initiate signal sending  
between the sensor and the main unit. The reception  
icon on the main unit will blink for approximately  
3 minutes while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer  
to the "Sensor Data Transmission" section for more  
information.)  
To install the remote control batteries:  
7. Press the °C / °F button to select the setting you want.  
8. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.  
9. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the  
wall mount or table stand.

Clock / Alarm / Calendar Area  
For best results:  
Remote Sensor Outdoor Temperature Area  
Insert the batteries and select the unit, channel, and  
radio signal format before you mount the sensor.  
NOTE It is recommended that you use alkaline  
batteries with this product for longer performance.  
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.  
Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres  
(100 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.  
Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)  
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,  
and furniture.  
REMOTE SENSOR (RTHR328N)  
This product is shipped with the RTHR328N Remote  
Sensor. The main unit can collect data from up to  
5 sensors.  
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 THGR328N and THR228N sensors are also  
compatible with this weather station. (Additional sensors  
are sold separately. Contact your local stockist for more  
information.)  
The transmission range may vary and is subject  
NOTE  
to the receiving range of the main unit.  
The RTHR328N sensor collects temperature readings  
and signals from official time-keeping organizations for  
the radio-controlled clock.  
You may need to experiment with various locations to  
get the best results.

CLOCK AND CALENDAR  
This product tracks the time and date based on radio-  
controlled signals from the RTHR328N remote sensor,  
or manual settings that you enter.  
1. Press and hold MODE / LIGHT for 2 seconds to enter  
Setting Mode.  
RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK  
The time and date are automatically updated by radio-  
controlled clock signals from official time-keeping  
organizations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby  
(England) unless you disable this feature. The signals  
are collected by the remote sensor (RTHR328N)  
whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.  
2. The setting will blink to indicate it can now be changed.  
3. Press UP or DOWN to change the setting.  
Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when  
you first set up the unit, and whenever you press RESET.  
Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking.  
4. Press MODE / LIGHT to confirm the setting and  
move to the next one. The order of the settings is:  
time zone hour offset (+ / -23 hours), 12 / 24 hour  
format, hour, minute, year, date / month format,  
month, date, display language and hourly chime
