Oregon Scientific JMR838WFA Bedienungsanleitung

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations for purchase of the Weather Forecast RF Wall

Clock with Remote Thermometer (JMR838WFA).

The JMR838WFA is designed to receive RF signals generated by

the US Atomic Clock, one of the world's most accurate timekeepers.

Each time the JMR838WFA receives this signal, the current time

and date is synchronized with the US Atomic Clock.

the JMR838WFA also 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 meters

(100 feet) radius of the main unit and it will transmit outdoor

temperature readings to the JMR838WFA.

Other features include a daily crescendo alarm with an eight-

minute snooze function and an extra-large LCD display.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOTE

THERMO-SENSOR SETUP

Follow this step-by-step procedure for installing batteries and

setting up the remote-sensor unit. Successful setup should ensure

that temperature signals are properly received.

Note: The effective range may be limited by building

materials and the position of either the main unit or the

remote thermo-sensor unit. Try various set-up

arrangements for best result.

Setting up the thermo-sensor unit:

1. Position the remote sensor within the signal transmission

range of the main display unit. The maximum transmission

range is 100 feet (30 metres).

2. Remove the screws of the battery door on the remote thermo-

sensor unit.

3. Select display of temperature in either °C or °F using the

°C/°F slide switch.

4. Install into the thermo-sensor unit, two UM-3 or “AA” size

1.5V alkaline batteries strictly according to the polarities

shown.

5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.

Note: Though the sensor is splash proof and is meant for

use outside, it should be placed away from direct sunlight,

rain, or snow.

Once the batteries have been inserted into the remote thermo-

sensor unit, batteries can now be inserted into the main unit.

The JMR838WFA (main unit) requires four UM4 or “AAA” size

batteries for operation.

How to insert batteries into the main unit:

1. Press the door tab and click-open the door.

2. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown

therein.

3. Replace the door so that it clicks into place.

Note: If not disposed of properly, batteries can be

harmful. Protect the environment by taking

exhausted batteries to authorized disposal stations.

Note: [

] Battery-low indicator

Replace the batteries when the battery-low indicator lights

up.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The JMR838WFA is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. It

will automatically synchronize current time and date with the US

Atomic Clock. The benefit of a RF controlled clock is that highly-

accurate time is maintained and manual adjustments to the time

and date are not required.

When the batteries are first installed, the JMR838WFA will

automatically search for a radio signal.

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

process takes between two to ten minutes. After initial search,

short periodic reception-signal scans will commence several

times a day.

The antenna icon indicates the strength 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: When the JMR838WFA is new and just out of the box,

initial signal reception can take up to 72 hours. It is

recommended that the JMR838WFA be placed on a window

sill away from a TV, PC, radio, microwave or other

equipment that generates RF signals. Interference to signal

reception is lowest between midnight and 4AM.

increases in intensity in three stages. Without interruption, the

alarm will activate for two minutes.

To stop the alarm, press any key. However, if the [ (( SNOOZE )) ]

is pressed, the snooze function will be triggered. The alarm will

stop for eight minutes before it activates again.

TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

The JMR838WFA displays temperature in Fahrenheit (°F). A

user-select option lets the user choose between indoor and outdoor

display.

indoor temperature display

outdoor temperature display

Press THERMO to alternate between the temperature displays.

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 different signal status icons.

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, 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 two seconds. The unit will search

for a remote thermo-sensor signal.

Search mode will last for about sixty 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 JMR838WFA gives a barometric 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 JMR838WFA detects barometric pressure changes and

displays the illustrated weather symbols that indicate weather

forecasts for 12 to 24 hours in the future. The radius of the

forecast is approximately 30 - 50 km (18 - 31 miles).

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.
