Congratulations on your purchase of your new Timex Wireless Weather Station.

We thank you for your interest in this state of the art weather monitor. We know

that you will get many years of use out of this latest addition to our fine line of

precision weather products. We encourage you to read through this instruction

booklet that carefully highlights all of the features of Timex model TX6180. Enjoy

the useful weather data that you will be able to view hour by hour. Each of the

instruments has been developed to respond to changing conditions as fast as

they take place. Each precise instrument accurately reflects temperature,

barometric pressure, and hygrometer readings. This model lets you know when

the sun rises and sets in the top 50 locations in the USA and Canada. You will

also be able to track the minimum and maximum temperatures and humidity

readings. Your radio-controlled alarm clock is the most accurate clock in the

world taking its constant radio signal from the Atomic Clock in Colorado. This

radio signal will update the time on your clock to reflect the split second accuracy

of that Atomic Clock. Again we thank you for your purchase. We appreciate

your business.

Weather Station

To Get Started, Please Follow The Direction Below

• Remove the bracket from the outdoor sensor case. Open the battery

compartment by unscrewing the four attachment screws on the back of

the outside sensor. Install the batteries matching the marked polarity.

Note the two buttons above the battery cradle. One marked “C°/F°” and

the other marked “Tx”. The Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit (F) Scale can be

selected for the LCD readout of this remote sensor by pressing the C/F

button. When you press the Tx button this will confirm that there is

transmission of temperature data by displaying a satellite icon in the

bottom left corner of the Remote Sensor LCD Display. Not until you see

the icon in the sensor display is the unit transmitting temperature data.

Once that icon appears it is okay to seal the battery compartment.

Replace the battery compartment door by carefully securing that door with

the four screws. It is important to make the seal as tight as possible on this

door. During the setup, keep the outdoor sensor close to the base station

in order to establish an effective wireless transmission. Do not

permanently install the remote sensor until transmission has been

confirmed.

• Open the battery compartment on the rear side of the base weather

station and insert the batteries again observing the correct polarity. Close

the battery compartment.

• When you insert the batteries all the symbols on the display will briefly

light up and you will hear a signal tone.

• The weather station will now start to connect to the outdoor sensor and

thus ready to begin transmitting data. This operation takes about three

minutes and is displayed by a flashing reception symbol in the

”OUTDOOR” display area.

• After the weather station has created a connection to the outdoor sensor,

it will then commence automatic reception of the WWVB Radio Signal for

the Radio Controlled Clock. This operation could take up to twenty-four

hours and completion of which is displayed by the flashing radio mast

symbol in the “Clock” display area. The best time to catch the radio time

signals from Ft. Collins, Colorado is between 2AM and 5AM.

• If reception is successful, then the radio mast symbol will appear

continuously in the display.

If this automatic setting process is unsuccessful, then use a sharply pointed

instrument to press the Reset button on the rear side of the weather instrument.

If you encounter poor reception on the radio control clock, which results in the

inability to have the time set automatically, please use this manual setting

proceed listed below:

MANUAL TIME SETTING

• Press and hold down the “SET” button for three seconds.

• The year display “2000” starts to flash. Now use “+ & -“ to set the correct

year.
