INTRODUCTION

Congratulations for purchase of the Weather Forecast RF Wall

Clock with Remote Thermometer (JMR818WF).

The JMR818WF is a multifunction radio frequency (RF) controlled

clock. When brought within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt,

Germany a radio signal generated from (DCF77) will emit signals

that can accurately synchronize this device to the current time

and date.

Also, the JMR818WF displays outdoor and indoor temperature

and uses barometric information to indicate weather forecasts

and atmospheric pressure trends.

Included in this package is a remote thermo-sensor. Place the

thermo-sensor in a sheltered outdoor location within a 30-meter

radius of the main unit and it will transmit outdoor temperature

readings to the JMR818WF.

Other features include a daily crescendo alarm with an eight-

minute snooze function, and extra-large display.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The JMR818WF is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock.

When located within a 1500km radius of radio signal (DCF77) at

Frankfurt, Germany, the clock time will automatically synchronize

with DCF77 time-signal transmission. The benefit of a RF

controlled clock is that highly-accurate time is maintained and

manual adjustments to the time and date are not be required.

When the batteries are first installed, the JMR818WF will

automatically search for a radio signal.

When in search mode, the antenna icon [ ] will blink. This

process takes between two (2) and (10) minutes. After initial

search, short periodic reception-signal scans will commence

several times a day.

The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.

RECEIVING

Interference

Reception can be affected by a number of factors. For best reception,

place the device away from metal objects and electrical appliances.

Note: Interference from sources such as TV sets can affect

the signal. If, after batteries have been inserted for ten

minutes, the DCF77 signal is not received, then set the

time manually (see section: How To Set The Calendar

Clock Manually).

To display either the indoor, outdoor, or alternating

temperature displays:

• Press THERMO to alternate between the temperature displays.

Note: The alternating display will alternate between the

indoor and outdoor display about every 9-seconds. The IN

and OUT symbols will flash to indicate that the unit is in

the alternating temperature display.

The outdoor temperature display has a kinetic-way display.

The kinetic-wave display shows the signal-receiving status by

the main unit. The are three possible forms.

The unit is in searching mode.

Temperature readings are

securely registered.

No signals

SENSOR TRANSMITION STATUS

If blanks "----" appear on the outdoor temperature display of the

main, then the unit is not receiving a signal from the remote

thermo sensor. The user may be able to receive a signal by

forcing a signal search.

To force a remote sensor signal:

Press and hold [THERMO] for 2-seconds. The unit will search

for a remote thermo-sensor signal.

Search mode will last for 67-seconds. If the unit still cannot

receive a signal, check the batteries to ensure they are properly

installed and have ample power. Try repositioning the units as

they may be having temperature transmission block as a result of

interference.

Note:

Reasons for not receiving a signal from the remote thermo

sensor may include:

1. The batteries of the remote sensor, the main unit, or

both may be low. Battery-low icons should indicate that

battery power is low and the batteries require changing.

• When the temperature falls below freezing point, the

batteries will freeze. Frozen batteries will have a

lower voltage and result in a lower transmission

radius.

2. The transmission range is too far.

• Shorten the distance.

3. The transmission path is cluttered with obstacles and

interference.

• Shorten the distance or reposition the remote sensor

or the main unit.

HOW TO READ THE PRESSURE TREND

The JMR818WF gives a pressure trend for the last hour. As

illustrated below, a rising trend (arrow) indicates improving

weather. Deteriorating weather conditions are indicated with a

falling trend (arrow).

WEATHER FORECAST FUNCTION

The JMR818WF detects barometric pressure changes and displays

the illustrated weather symbols that indicate weather forecasts

for 12 to 24 hours. The radius of the forecast is approximately

30 - 50 km.

Important:

1. The accuracy of a weather forecast, when only using

pressure trends, is approximately 70 to 75 percent.

2. The weather forecast symbols may not reflect current

weather condition. The symbols are forecasting the

future.

3. A ‘SUNNY’ forecast covering the nighttime reflects fine

clear weather.

HOW TO RESET THE UNIT
