User manual OREGON SCIENTIFIC BAR888

[. . . ] Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building materials and where the main and remote units are positioned. Though the remote units are weather resistant they should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow. 4. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown therein. Note: To avoid malfunction, alway press reset after battery replacement. [. . . ] The temperature trend indicator on the screen shows the trend of samplings collected at that particular remote site. Three trends, rising, steady and falling, will be shown. Arrow indicator Temperature Trend Rising Steady Falling GETTING STARTED Once batteries are in place for the remote units, they will start transmitting temperature readings at 30-second intervals. The main unit will also start searching for signals for about a minute once batteries are installed. Upon successful reception, the individual channel temperatures will be displayed on the 2nd line and the indoors temperature on the 3rd line. The main unit will automatically update its readings at about 30-second intervals. If no signals are received, blanks " " will be displayed and the kinetic wave icon will show " ". Press CHANNEL and MEMORY simultaneously to enforce another search for about 30 seconds. This is useful in synchronizing the transmission and reception of the remote and main units. 6 If the temperature goes above or below the temperature measuring range of the main unit or the remote unit (stated in specification) , the display will show "HHH" or "LLL". HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the main unit. No signals. DISCONNECTED SIGNALS If without obvious reasons the display for a particular channel goes blank, press CHANNEL and MEMORY to enforce an immediate search. Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point, the batteries of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage supply and the effective range. The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles and interference. Shorten the distance when necessary. MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURES The maximum and minimum recorded indoor temperatures and those of each channel will be automatically stored in memory. Press MEMORY once to display the maximum temperature and again the minimum temperature. If you press MEMORY now, the maximum and minimum temperatures will have the same values as the current ones until different readings are recorded. 7 TRANSMISSION COLLISION Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of this product and cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal and does not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of temperature readings will resume once the interference recedes. NOTE ON °C AND °F The unit of temperature display is selected on the °C/°F slide switch. Note: The remote temperature display shown on the main unit is dominated by the selection on the °C/°F slide switch of the main unit. Whatever the display units of the remote sensors are, they will be automatically converted to the chosen one of the main unit. GB GB WEATHER FORECAST FUNCTION Your BAR888A detects barometric pressure changes and the LCD displays the illustrated weather symbols which indicates the weather forecast for 12 to 24 hours ahead, for an area with a radius of about 30-50 km. Indicator displays on the unit HOW TO READ THE PRESSURE TREND The BAR888A gives you the pressure trend for the last hour. It is indicated by the arrow displayed in the right hand side of the upper display. An upward pointing trend arrow indicates that it is likely that the weather is improving or may be getting worse if the trend (arrow) is falling. [. . . ] NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential 12 Radio Controlled Clock Maintime set and synchronized by Radio Signal from U. S. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ]
