Sit back and relax! Your Forecaster will automatically begin listening for a signal. 
Please note it could take up to four hours for weather data to appear. This is a 
good time to browse through the available forecast locations. If you’ve waited 
without receiving weather data, please see the Troubleshooting Guide at the 
end of this booklet.

Getting to know your 3-Day Forecaster

Receiving your first update

Open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER and insert three AAA batteries  
(not included). Confirm that the batteries’ (+) and (–) indicators are properly 
aligned inside the compartment.

Place your Forecaster in an area where it receives a good signal. Check the 
SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR on the front of the device. If your Forecaster is 
only getting one bar, move it closer to a window or try going upstairs. Two or 
three bars of signal strength will ensure your Forecaster stays up to date and 
will improve battery life.
