  • Page 5: Quick Setup

    QUICK SETUP Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. Have the indoor weather station and remote temp/humidity sensor 3 to 5 feet apart. Batteries should be out of all units for 10 minutes. Place the batteries into the remote temp/humidity sensor first, then into the indoor weather station.
  • Page 6 In this time the indoor weather station and remote temp/humidity sensor will start to talk to each other and the displays will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature and humidity. If the indoor weather station do not display both the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature and humidity after the 15 minutes please retry the set up as shown on...
  • Page 7 Notes on Outdoor Sensor Placement The remote temp/humidity sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. Fog and mist will not harm your remote temp/humidity sensor but direct rain must be avoided. The remote temp/humidity sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through will reduce distance.
  • Page 8 To complete the set up of your indoor weather station after the 10 minutes have passed, please follow the steps below. Press and hold the “SET” button for five seconds. The hour will now be flashing. Note: There is “PM” displayed to the left of the hour when between noon and midnight.

  • Page 14 The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-7213U averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast—creating a necessity to disregard all weather forecasting for 12-...
  • Page 15 1. Weather Icons There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the FORECAST LCD: Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny). Sun with Clouds— indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be sunny with clouds).
  • Page 16: Tendency Arrows

    The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in order, from “sunny” to “partly sunny” to “cloudy” or the reverse. It will not change from “sunny” directly to “rainy”, although it is possible for the change to occur quickly.

    MOUNTING Note: To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We recommend that you mount the remote temp/humidity sensor on an outside North- facing wall. The sending range is 80ft; obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range.
  • Page 22 THE WEATHER STATION The indoor weather station comes with the table stand already mounted. If you wish to use the table-stand, all that is required is to place the indoor weather station in your desired location.

Note: If there is a outdoor temperature and humidity displayed when the two units are close together there was either too much distance between the two units previously or some type of interference that was causing...
  • Page 25 Problem: Temperatures do not match if units are placed next to each other. Solution: Each temp/humidity sensor is manufactured to be accurate to within 2 degree plus or minus and under normal conditions. It is possible for two temp/humidity sensors to be as much as 4 degrees different.
