Congratulations

You have just purchased the world’s first Satellite-Assisted, Internet-Powered

Weather Station. Weather Direct™ uses the power of the Internet to deliver

weather data and other important information tailored to you, because you are in

control of the information it delivers.

We understand that no one likes having to read a manual, so we’ve tried to make

this a fun and rewarding read. After all, Weather Direct™ is all about you. It’s like

having your own personal assistant to tell you the weather how, when and where

you want it. Knowing how Weather Direct™ works will allow you to get the most

out of this innovative new system.

Weather Direct™ - Not Just Another Weather Station. Weather Direct™ is the

complete weather experience.

Quality Forecasts

Weather Direct™ provides the most accurate forecast information available,

customized to your exact location! Our forecasts go beyond backyard

measurements by using satellite-assisted, internet-enabled weather data

provided by official National Weather Service instrumentation and local weather

reporting stations widely distributed throughout North America.

The same quality weather information used by meteorologists to deliver the local

forecast plus additional weather data unique to the Weather Direct™ network is

available to you 24 hours a day! We provide the most detailed, customized, up-

to-date weather forecasts available on any medium. Weather Direct™ allows you

to pinpoint your exact location to ensure that you receive precision weather

forecasts customized for you!

Weather Direct™ is Green

We are dong our part to keep our planet healthy by eliminating our paper

manuals, saving trees in the process. Not only are we reducing the amount of

paper, but we are also trying to help you save space in your desk drawer, file

cabinet or box in the basement where all these pesky manuals end up. Now you

can print only the pages from this manual that you need… or not print any at all if

you find what you are looking for online.

Version 1.7 - 07/01/2008

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

Please DO NOT insert batteries into the Wireless Display or the Outdoor Sensor

until instructed to do so.

Connect the Gateway to an available LAN port on your network router with the

LAN cable (included) and then power up the Gateway with the AC Adapter

(included).

Set Up your WD-3105

NOTE: The Quick Set-Up Card that is included in the box contains additional

instructions to help you get started quickly if you want to perform a basic setup of

your Weather Direct™ system without reading this entire manual.

Open www.weatherdirect.com in a web browser and click “REGISTER” at the top

of the page. Our Online Registration Wizard will guide you through the complete

registration process.

Hardware Installation

NOTE: Hardware installation is only intended to be performed after you have

registered your Gateway and Wireless Display, inserted batteries into the

Wireless Outdoor Temperature Sensor, and have confirmed successful reception

of weather data.

Version 1.7 - 07/01/2008

Wireless Outdoor Sensor Installation Options

NOTE: Move the Wireless Outdoor Sensor into its intended location and wait for

10 minutes to make sure the outdoor temperature is still being received by the

Wireless Display. Press the “SNOOZE” Key on your Wireless Display to show

the outdoor temperature. If the display shows - -,-F for the outdoor temperature,

the signal cannot reach the Wireless Display. Find a closer location to mount the

Wireless Outdoor Sensor and wait 10 minutes to check the Wireless Display

again for reception.

DO NOT mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor in a permanent fashion until

you are sure the signal is being received by the Wireless Display.

To Surface Mount the Outdoor Sensor:

The Sensor can be positioned on a flat surface by securing the

stand to the bottom by gently pushing the bottom of the Sensor onto

the holding pegs of the stand until they click into place in the

grooves on the Sensor.

To Wall Mount the Outdoor Sensor:

The Outdoor Sensor is weather resistant, but not water proof. To

ensure maximum Sensor life, mount it in a covered place out of the

elements like under the eaves. Placement on the North side of your

home will provide the most accurate readings. Mount it about 18”

down from the eaves for optimum performance. This ensures that the

weather data collected by the Outdoor Sensor will not be affected by

the temperature of the air leaving the attic.

We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to the wall with the

supplied screws. Gently snap the Sensor onto the holding pegs on the mounting

plate after the plate is screwed to the wall. When the holding pegs are securely

locked into the slots on the Sensor, you will hear a “Click”.

Gateway Installation

The Gateway should be installed indoors in an

easy-to-reach location. Registration requires

that you press the gray button on the

Gateway. It can be mounted securely to the

wall with the included mounting plate and

drywall anchors.

If you require a longer LAN cable to mount the Gateway in a desired location,

any standard Category 5 network cable will work, but a crossover cable may not

work. Crossover cables designed to connect two computers without networking

hardware may not work with your Gateway.

NOTE: Network cables usually have length limitations. The same length

limitations will apply that apply to computers on your home network.
