INTRODUCTION:  
The Wireless Color Weather Station features radio-controlled time, weather  
forecast, indoor and outdoor temperature/humidity as well as heat index and dew  
point, on a stylish, colorful, and easy to read display. Use the integrated USB  
charging port to charge your devices when the Weather Station is plugged into a  
power outlet.  
POSITIONING THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR TEMP/HUMIDITY TRANSMITTER  
Once the Weather Station shows the outdoor temperature, place it and the  
transmitter in the desired locations and wait approximately 1-hour before  
permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there is proper reception. The  
transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6 feet  
from the ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The transmitter is  
water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become  
submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow.  
WIRELESS COLOR WEATHER STATION:  
WALL MOUNT  
FAHRENHEIT/CELSIUS: Press and release the -/°C/°F button once on the  
Weather Station, to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius.  
.
Choose a shaded location (under an overhang) for the transmitter that  
is within the confirmed wireless reception range of the Weather  
Station for accuracy.  
AUTO (channel scroll) - AUTO will appear in the outdoor temperature/humidity  
area when multiple transmitters are received and the Weather Station is set to scroll  
through the channels automatically.  
Press and release the CH button repeatedly until the word AUTO shows. The  
Weather Station will rotate through all available channels.  
.
.
Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving  
approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended.  
Place the hanging hole (on the back of the transmitter) onto the  
mounting screw and gently slide the transmitter down to secure it.  
Press and release the CH button once to show only one channel continually.  
The Weather Station can receive up to 3 outdoor transmitters.  
Extra TX14TH-LCD-B transmitters may be found online or at your retailer to monitor  
remote temperature and humidity of up to 3 locations within a 200 Ft wireless range  
of the Weather Station.  
IMPORTANT: For true temperature and humidity readings, mount the transmitter  
out of direct sunlight on a North-facing wall or in any other well shaded area like  
under an eave or deck rail. The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200-  
feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large  
metal objects can reduce the range. Place the transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to  
improve signal transmission.  
Note: When only one transmitter is connected, you cannot see other channels.  
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME  
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP:  
BUTTON FUNCTIONS:  
Press and Release  
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) WWVB radio station is  
located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits the exact WWVB time signal  
continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up  
to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However,  
due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight  
hours. The Weather Station will search for a signal every night when reception is  
best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic Clock in  
Boulder, Colorado.  
Button  
Hold 3-5 seconds  
STEP 1: (optional battery operation)  
Remove battery cover from the Weather Station: Slide tab to right and pull out to  
remove the cover.  
Insert 3 NEW AA batteries (not included) into the back of the Weather Station.  
Observe the correct polarity (see marking inside the battery compartment).Do  
NOT mix old and new batteries.  
The Weather Station will light up and

The tower icon is solid: The Weather Station has received the WWVB signal.  
No tower icon shows: The Weather Station was unable to receive a signal.  
Reposition the Weather Station for better signal reception or try again at bedtime.  
The Weather Station will start searching at UTC: 07:00. If there is no reception on  
the first attempt, it will try again at 08:00, 09:00, 10:00 and 11:00 for at least 2 to  
10 min.  
If the WWVB signal is strong it may establish reception in ABOUT 2-3 minutes.  
If the signal is marginal it will try to obtain a signal for up to 10 minutes.  
IMPORTANT: When operating on a/c power, to avoid interference, the backlight  
will turn off while the Weather Station searches for the WWVB signal. The  
backlight will return after the 2-10 minute search which occurs during the late night  
or early morning hours.
