User manual OREGON SCIENTIFIC BAR888-E

[. . . ] 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 proof, they should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown therein. Note: To avoid malfunction, alway press reset after battery replacement. [. . . ] 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 BAR888 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 BAR888 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. Here is what it can look like: Arrow indicator Forecast Sunny Slightly Cloudy Cloudy Rainy Pressure Trend Rising Steady Falling Important: 1. The accuracy of weather forecasting when using pressure trend alone is about 70 to 75 percent and, therefore, the manfuacturers and suppliers cannot be held responsible for any inconveniences caused by an inaccurate weather fore cast. The weather forecast symbols may not reflect current weather condition. A "SUNNY" forecast covering the night-time reflects fine clear weather. CALENDAR CLOCK DISPLAY MODES The BAR888 supports four display modes in the sequence of: MODE 1. [. . . ] This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 12 Radio Controlled Clock Maintime set and synchronized by Radio Signal DCF77 for Continental/ Central Europe 24 h display with hh : mm ss Day of week selectable in 4 language (E, D, F, I) instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: o Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. o Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is needed.
