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.  
REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)  
Keep this manual handy as you use your new product. It  
contains practical step-by-step instructions, as well as  
technical specifications and warnings you should know.

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).
