PRECAUTIONS
This product is engineered to give you years of
satisfactory service if you handle it carefully.
Here are a few precautions:
1. Do not immerse the unit in water.
2. Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive
materials. They may scratch the plastic parts and
corrode the electronic circuit.
3. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock,
dust, temperature or humidity, which may result in
malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged
battery and distorted parts.
4. Do not tamper with the unit's internal components.
Doing so will invalidate the warranty on the unit
and may cause unnecessary damage. The unit
contains no user-serviceable parts.
5. Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user's
manual. Do not mix new and old batteries as the
old ones may leak.
6. Always read the user's manual thoroughly before
operating the unit.
HOW TO SET THE ZONE TIME
To set the zone time,
1. Press “SET” until at zone time display mode,
2. Hold “SET” for two seconds, the zone time offset
will be displayed.
3. Enter the offset using “+” or “-”.
4. Press “SET” to exit.
SUNRISE/SUNSET MODE
ACCESSING SUNRISE/SUNSET MODE
Press “+“ or “-“ until the sunrise and sunset icons
on the lower left of the display start flashing.
DISCONNECTED SIGNALS
If without obvious reasons the display of the outdoor
temperature
goes blank, Hold “ - ” for 2 seconds to
enforce an immediate search. If that fails, check:
1. The remote unit is still in place.
2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit.
Replace as necessary.
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point,
the batteries of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their
voltage supply and the effective range.
3. The transmission is within range and path is clear of
obstacles and interference. Shorten the distance
when necessary.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as door bells,
home security systems and entry controls, may interfere
with those of this product and cause temporarily
reception failure. This is normal and does not affect the
general performance of the product. The transmission
and reception of temperature readings will resume once
the interference recedes.
NOTE:
1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather
forecast is about 70%.
2. The weather forecast may not reflect the current
situation necessarily.
3. The “Sunny” icon implies clear weather at night.
GETTING STARTED
SETTING UP THE REMOTE TEMP. AND RC CLOCK
a. Once the remote unit, are placed batteries, thermo-
hygro sensor will start transmitting temperature and
humidity readings at around 45 seconds intervals.
The main unit will also start searching for signals for
maximum 5 minutes once batteries are installed.
Upon successful reception, the outdoors temperatures
and humidity will be displayed .The main unit will
update its readings at about 45 seconds intervals
automatically.
b. If no signals are received, blanks [ ] will be
displayed. Hold “ - ” for 2 seconds to enforce
another search. This is useful in synchronizing the
transmission and reception of the remote and main
units.
c. When remote signal reception is finished, it will
automatically synchronize its current time and dated
when it is within the range of signal time. Repeat
this step whenever you find discrepancies between
the reading shown on the main unit and that on the
remote unit.
HOW TO CHECK REMOTE AND INDOOR
THERMO-HYGRO
The wave display on the outdoors temperature indicates
the reception of the remote unit is in good order. If no
readings are received from the remote units for more
than 5 minutes, blanks [ ] will be displayed until
further readings are successfully searched. Check the
remote unit is sound and secure. You can wait for a
little while or Hold “ - ” for 2 seconds to enforce an
NOTE: LED INDICATOR ON FRONT SIDE
Flashes once when the remote unit transmits a reading
Flashes twice when low battery is detected on sensor unit
(Model TS33C)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
For best operation,
1. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for
the main unit.
2. Position the remote unit and main unit within
effective transmission range, which, in usual
circumstances, is 60 meters. Note that the effective
range is vastly affected by the building materials and
where the main and remote units are positioned. Try
various set-ups for best result. Though the remote
units are weather proof, they should be placed away
from direct sunlight, rain or snow.
BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT
1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.
2. Select the channel.
3. Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly
according to the polarities shown.
4. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the BF-7.
Soft-touch button design provides you a novel key
interface and outlook design.
The basic package comes with 1 weather forecast
station and 1 remote thermo-hygrometer sensor.
The main unit is equipped with the built-in barometer
which enables to display the weather forecast,
barometer and altimeter.
The main unit is capable of keeping track temperature
and humidity of different sites. No wire installation is
required and operates at 433MHz.
Apart from temperature shows the indoor and outdoor
relative humidity and rates the comfort level. It also
retains the maximum and minimum relative humidity
readings. A remote thermo sensor is included with the
unit is able to receive and display readings from up to 3
remote sensors.
While the weather forecast part displays storm, alarm
will be activated.
