Introduction Thank you for selecting the Honeywell Professional Weather Station with Remote control. This compact and easy-to-use product features a wide variety of time and weather data, such as precise atomic time, perpetual calendar, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, rainfall, UV levels and etc.
Standard Package Contents Picture Components Main Unit Remote Control AC/DC 7.
4 screws for securing rain gauge to the flat surface; 4 screws for securing anemometer to vertical surface Mounting hardware 2m (6ft) USB cable PC connection cable Installation The Honeywell Professional Weather Station TE923W operates at 433MHz radio frequency, so no wire installation is required between the main unit (receiver) and the remote weather sensors (transmitters).
Before you begin • We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote weather sensors and the main unit when temperatures are above 32°F (0°C). We recommend using lithium batteries for the remote weather sensors when temperatures are below 32°F (0°C). • Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements). • ALWAYS install batteries in the remote weather sensors before the main unit.
