QUICK SET-UP GUIDE  
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and  
avoid rechargeable batteries.  
1. Have the indoor station and outdoor  
remote 3 to 5 apart.  
2. Batteries should be out of both units for  
10 minutes.  
3. Place the batteries into the outdoor  
remote first then into the indoor station.  
(All outdoor remotes must be started  
before the indoor station)  
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS  
FOR 10 MINUTES.  
In this time the display and sensor will start to talk to  
each other and the display will show both the indoor  
temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the  
station does not display both temperatures after the  
10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above.  
After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are  
displayed for 10 minutes you can place your sensor  
outdoors and set your time.

The remote sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded  
area. The remote sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any  
walls that the signal will have to pass through will  
reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will  
have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall  
will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance  
plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight  
line.  
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote  
sensor but direct rain must be avoided.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE  
I.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION  
A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR  
1. Remove  
the  
battery  
cover. Place your thumb  
over the two air-vent  
slots on the face of the  
Battery  
Cover  
Remote  
Sensor,  
Temperature  
push down  
gently and slide the  
battery cover down and  
off.  
2. Observing the correct  
polarity, install 2 AA batteries. The batteries  
will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make  
sure that they do not spring free during  
installation).  
3. Replace the battery cover.  
B. WEATHER TEMPERATURE STATION  
1. Remove the battery  
cover. Pull up and  
out from the slot  
located  
in  
the  
central position of  
the battery cover.  
2. Observing  
correct  
the  
polarity,  
install 2 AAA6  
 
batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid  
start-up problems make sure that they do not  
spring free during installation).  
3. Replace the battery cover.  
4. To switch between °F and °C, press the  
°F/°C button on the back of the unit.  
Note: After the batteries have been installed into  
the Weather Temperature Station the LCD  
segments should light up. Also within 3 minutes,  
the Outdoor Temperature should be displayed in  
the OUTDOOR LCD. If any of this does not occur,  
remove all batteries and install them again—  
carefully observing the polarity.  
C. LOW-BATTERY & BATTERY REPLACEMENT  
FEATURES  
When the batteries become weak in the  
Weather Temperature Station, a low battery  
indicator (shaped as a battery) appears in the  
LCD screen between the Hour display and  
the Minute display. When you replace the  
batteries in the Weather Temperature  
Station, the LCD screen will continue to  
display its stored information for 20 seconds.  
This means that if you can install the new  
batteries within this 20-second time period  
you do not need to program the Station  
again.

FEATURES  
INDOOR LCD  
FORECAST LCD  
OUTDOOR LCD  
I.  
INDOOR TEMPERATURE  
The Weather Temperature Station monitors the  
temperature within its immediate proximity, and  
displays this temperature (°F or °C) in the INDOOR  
LCD. The temperature is monitored as soon as the  
batteries are installed.  
II. WEATHER FORECAST  
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75%  
accurate. The weather forecast is based solely upon  
the change of air pressure over time. The WS-7032U  
averages  
past  
air-8pressure readings to provide  
 
an accurate forecast—causing a necessity to disregard  
all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit  
has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to  
another (i.e. from one floor of a building to another). In  
areas where the weather is not affected by the change  
of air pressure, this feature will be less accurate.  
A. WEATHER ICONS  
There are 3 possible weather icons that will be  
displayed in the FORECAST LCD:  
Sunny—indicates that the weather is  
expected to improve (not that the  
weather will be sunny).  
Sun with Clouds—indicates that the  
weather is expected to be fair (not  
that the weather will be sunny with  
clouds).  
Clouds with Rain—indicates that the  
weather is expected to get worse (not  
that the weather will be rainy).  
The weather icons change when the unit detects a  
change in air pressure. The icons change in order  
from: “sunny” to “sun with clouds” to “clouds  
9
 
with rain,” or the reverse. It will not change from  
“sunny” directly to “rainy,” although it is possible  
for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do  
not change then the weather has not changed, or  
the change has been too slow and gradual to  
register.  
B.  
WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS  
Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD  
are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up  
(under the forecast icons) and one that points  
down (above the forecast icons). These arrows  
reflect current changes in the air pressure. An  
arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is  
increasing and the weather is expected to improve  
or remain good, an arrow pointing down indicates  
that the air pressure is decreasing and the  
weather is expected to become worse or remain  
poor. No arrow means the pressure is stable.  
II. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE  
The Weather Temperature Station receives the outdoor  
temperature (°F or °C) from the Remote Temperature  
Sensor, and the temperature appears in the OUTDOOR  
LCD. The Remote Temperature Sensor makes a  
temperature update every 1 minute, and transmits a  
new temperature to the Weather Temperature Station 3  
times every 10 minutes.  
MOUNTING  
10  
 
Note: Extreme and sudden changes in temperature will  
decrease the accuracy of the Weather Temperature  
Station, and changes in elevation will result with  
inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24  
hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait  
before obtaining reliable data.  
To achieve a true  
temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct  
sunlight can reach the Remote Temperature Sensor.  
We recommend that you mount the Remote  
Temperature Sensor on  
a
North-facing wall.  
The  
sending range is 80ft (25m)—obstacles such as walls,  
concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.  
Place both units in their desired location, and wait  
approximately 10 minutes before permanently mounting  
to ensure that there is proper reception. The Weather  
Temperature Station should display a temperature in the  
OUTDOOR LCD within 3 minutes of setting-up.  
I.  
THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR  
The Remote Temperature Sensor can be mounted in  
two ways:  
with the use of screws, or  
using the adhesive tape.  
A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS  
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the  
Remote Temperature Sensor. The bracket  
should snap off easily.  
2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired  
11  
 
location. Through the three screw holes of  
the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a  
pencil.  
3. Where marked, start the screw holes into the  
mounting surface.  
4. Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting  
surface. Ensure that the screws are flush  
with the bracket.  
5. Snap the Remote Temperature Sensor onto  
the mounted bracket.  
B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE  
1. With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry  
the back of the mounting bracket and the  
mounting surface to ensure a secure hold.  
The mounting surface should be smooth and  
flat.  
2. Remove the protective strip from one side of  
the tape. Adhere the tape to the designated  
area on the back of the mounting bracket.  
3. Remove the protective strip from the other  
side of the tape. Position the Remote  
Temperature Sensor in the desired location,  
ensuring that the Weather Temperature  
Station can receive the signal.  
II. THE WEATHER STATION  
The Weather Station  
12can be mounted on the wall  
 
with the use of a wall hanging screw (not included).  
A. WALL MOUNTING  
1. Place a screw (not included) into an  
appropriate wall, leaving approximately 3/16  
of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.  
2. Place the Weather Station onto the screw  
using the hanging hole on the backside.  
Gently pull the Station down to lock the screw  
into place.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS  
Extreme  
sudden  
and14  
 
temperature changes, vibration, and shock should  
be avoided to prevent damage to the units.  
Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth.  
Do not use solvents or scouring agents; they may  
mark the displays and casings.  
Do not submerge in water.  
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to  
avoid leakage and damage.  
Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do  
not try to repair the unit.
