LEXIBOOK SM1300 Owner's Manual

1 Congratulations on your purchase of this weather station, MeteoClock SM1300. Please take the time to read and understand this manual so you can begin to enjoy the convenience and features this product has to offer. What exactly is a Weather Station? Lexibook digital stations measure not only the time in progress - thanks to their built-in clock - but also the actual weather! The MeteoClock SM1300 incorporates different functions: - Thermometer: Temperature is displayed in real time to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius. Thanks to its wireless sensor, the station can sense from a distance the outside temperature or that of another room! - Hygrometer: Outdoor or indoor hygrometry is expressed in percentage of humidity in the ambient air. The ideal “Comfort” Zone for the human body ranges from 35 to 65% hygrometry for a given temperature in between 18 and 24ºC.

Repeat the learning procedures. - Temperature may be below -30°C. - Batteries in remote transmitter may need changing. - Move remote transmitter closer to the receiver. - Make sure remote transmitter is away from sources of electrical disturbance. Problem: The temperature measurement of remote transmitter and receiver does not match. Temperature reading of the outdoor remote transmitter seems too high. Receiver is no longer receiving remote transmitter signals or display. SM1300GB 7/8/04 5:30 PM Page 12
