LOW BATTERY WARNING  
5. Press RESET after each battery change, using a paper clip or  
similar tool.  
A low-battery indicator [  
] will appear on the indoor or  
outdoor temperature reading line of the main unit warning that  
the corresponding sensor’s batteries have to be replaced.  
6. During an initial setup, place the main unit as close as  
possible to the remote sensor.  
7. After reception is established (remote temperature will  
appear on the receiver’s display), position the remote sensor  
and main unit within the effective transmission range of  
100 feet.  
HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND  
The main unit has an unfolding table stand on the back,  
that supports it on the flat surface. The main unit can  
also be mounted on the wall using the recessed screw hole.  
The stand must be removed prior to mounting. The remote  
sensor can be similarly mounted or placed on a flat surface.  
NOTE:  
1. Avoid setting the time and date on the main unit before the  
outdoor temperature is displayed.  
2. The effective operating range may be influenced by the  
surrounding building materials and how the receiver and  
transmitter are positioned.  
GETTING STARTED  
After batteries are installed, remote sensors will transmit  
temperature readings at 45 second intervals. The main unit  
may take up to 2 (two) minutes to receive the initial readings.  
Upon successful reception, remote temperature will be  
displayed. Then the main unit will automatically update  
readings at 45-second intervals.  
3. Position the remote sensor so that it faces the main unit  
(receiver), minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,  
and furniture.  
4. Though the remote sensor is weather-resistant, it should  
be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.  
If no signals are received from the remote sensor within

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME  
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)  
radio station is located in Ft. Collins Colorado. It transmits  
an exact time signal continuously throughout the continental  
United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Jumbo Weather Clock  
with Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer can receive this  
WWVB signal through its internal antenna from up to 2,000  
miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere,  
reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio  
controlled clock will search for an alternate station that derives  
its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.

NOTE:  
1. The weather forecast accuracy is approximately 70%.  
2. Display shows forecasted, not current conditions.  
3. The “Sunny” icon indicates clear weather, even when  
displayed during night-time.  
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE  
The barometric pressure arrows indicate if pressure is  
rising, steady, or falling.  
The WWVB tower icon on the main unit’s display will flash  
indicating radio signal reception from the WWVB station.  
If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time is not set  
automatically, please consider the following:

Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet minimum  
distance from any interference source such as a TV,  
computer monitor, microwave, etc. The successful reception  
of the atomic time signal depends on the positioning and  
location of the clock. Always place the main unit by the  
window for better reception.

electronic circuits.  
ATOMIC CLOCK  
1. After the main unit receives temperature and humidity  
readings from the remote sensor(s), the WWVB time signal  
receiver will automatically search for the time signal. This  
takes about 5-8 minutes. Always place the main unit by the  
window for better reception.  
3. Do not subject the product to excessive force, shock, dust,  
temperature, or humidity, which may result in malfunctions,  
shorter lifespan, damaged batteries, and damaged parts.
