INTRODUCTION
NOTE The signals are collected by the main unit when it is
within 932 miles (1500 km) of a signal.
Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientific™ Wireless
Weather Forecaster with Temperature (BAR636A). This
device bundles precise time keeping, weather forecast, and
indoor and outdoor temperature monitoring features into a
single tool you can use from the convenience of your home.
Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when
you first set up the unit, and whenever you press RESET. If
the RF signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to get a
valid RF signal reception. Once complete, the reception icon
will stop blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area.

Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of
water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures
of approximately 10°F (-12°C). Disposable Lithium batteries
have a much lower threshold for temperature with an
estimated freezing range of below -40°F (-40°C).

Press MODE to toggle between Clock with Seconds and
Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such
as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may
temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor
and the base station. If the unit's performance fails due to
low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as
the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range
(i.e. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low
temperatures).
