The large, high-resolution LCD display provides clear visibility of current weather conditions, as well as historical data and weather trends. The EM3333 is also waterproof, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Initial Operation and Notes
Initial Operation
- Open the weather station battery compartment, insert 2 x AA batteries observing polarity [“+” and “–” marks].
- Remove the battery compartment on the Wireless Remote Sensor, insert 2 x AA batteries observing the correct polarity (+ and – marks), and close the battery compartment.
- When the power is connected, all the icons on the LCD display will light up for 3 seconds. You will hear a beep tone, and the weather station will start to detect the indoor temperature and humidity.
- The weather station will start to make a connection to the outdoor remote sensor. This operation takes about 3 minutes and is displayed by a flashing reception RF icon “” in the “Remote Sensor” display area on the receiver.
- Once the weather station has created a connection to the outdoor sensor, the clock will start automatically searching for the WWVB Signal to set the time and date. The radio mast icon “” will flash showing it is searching for the signal, it may take up to 7 minutes to search.
Notes for Customer Before Use
- During the WWVB signal search mode, only the “” and “▲” buttons will function.

Simultaneously, the temperature alarm icon "" will flash. If the alarm activates due to temperature, the current channel's temperature value and either the upper limit icon "" or lower limit icon "" will also flash.
- The frost alarm will be activated when the temperature of the REMOTE SENSOR is between +30°F to +37°F or -1°C to +3°C, symbol "" will flash.
F.Y.I.: When the temperature exceeds the upper limit of the alarm temperature setting, the upper limit alarm activates, and symbol "" flashes. When the temperature falls below the lower limit of the alarm temperature setting, the lower limit alarm activates, and symbol "" flashes.
Comfort Display
Indoor comfort level is calculated based on indoor temperature and humidity, categorized into 5 levels.
Current Humidity and Humidity Trend Display
After inserting batteries, the weather station measures current relative humidity. The trend display initially shows a neutral relative humidity course. Further trends are displayed as follows:
- If, after an hour, relative humidity increases by more than 5% from the initial measurement, a positive trend is displayed.
- If, after an hour, relative humidity decreases by more than 5% from the initial measurement, a negative trend is displayed.
- If relative humidity remains unchanged within an hour, the arrow changes to a horizontal arrow. The measured relative humidity is then considered neutral for further predictions.
Maximum/Minimum Temperature and Humidity
To view indoor/outdoor maximum and minimum temperature and humidity data, press the “MEM” button:
- Press once to display maximum temperature and humidity values.
- Press twice to display minimum temperature and humidity values.
- Press three times to return to current temperature and humidity levels.
To reset maximum and minimum temperature and humidity data, press and hold the “MEM” button for about 2 seconds. This resets all recorded minimum and maximum data to the currently displayed values.
F.Y.I.: If the temperature reading is below the range, "LL.L" will be displayed. If the temperature reading is above the range, "HH.H" will be displayed.
