About this product

Be prepared for a cold, wet morning with the help of this forecast station and its virtual weather boy, Oscar. From The Weather Channel by La Crosse Technology, the forecast station monitors indoor conditions for enhanced comfort. It also evaluates outdoor temperatures and air pressure levels, which it employs to forecast the weather, depicted using fifteen different Oscar icons. Oscar serves as a great teaching tool for children as he models weather-appropriate clothing under sunny, partly cloudy, rainy, or snowy skies. With its radio-controlled clock, the forecast station provides precise time, resetting daily to the US Atomic Clock and adjusting automatically for daylight savings time. The sleek base of the forecasts station wall-mounts or stands alone on a tabletop. On its LCD screen, equipped with eight levels of contrast, the base relays the date, time, forecast, indoor temperature and humidity, outdoor temperature and humidity, and daily high and low outdoor temperatures. Four buttons enable the user to change display settings, disable the DST function, and check the minimum and maximum temperature and humidity readings for both indoors and outdoors. The forecast station measures indoor temperatures from 14 to 140 degrees F, and outdoor temperatures from -39.8 to +139.8 degrees F. For outdoor data, a Swiss-precision TX21U-IT thermo-hygro sensor transmits information at a 915 MHz frequency from as much as 330 feet away if unobstructed. Up to three sensors work with this system. For more accurate readings, mount the sensor using the provided hardware out of direct rain or sunlight. The separate purchase of four AA batteries is required. A limited one-year warranty covers this item. The forecast station base measures 3-1/5 inches wide by 1-1/4 inches deep by 5-2/3 inches high, while the sensor measures 2-1/4 inches wide by 2-2/5 inches deep by 5-1/3 inches high.
