INTRODUCTION
However, please note that the atomic clock function cannot be used
outside the U.S.
Congratulations on your purchase of the BAR913HGA Digital
Weather Forecaster with In-Out Thermo-Hygrometer and RF Clock.
The BAR913HGA is an all-in-one weather forecasting device and
clock.
MAIN FEATURES: MAIN UNIT
B7
The BAR913HGA is a weather forecasting device, which has
several weather related functions. Main feature is that it takes and
records temperatures and humidities in more than one location. Using
wireless remote thermo-hygro sensor, it can simultaneously monitor
temperatures and humidities in three remote locations. The unit
will show temperature and humidity trends as well as record
maximum and minimum temperature and humidity readings.
BAR913HGA is able to receive and display readings from up to 3
remote sensors.

As part of the weather forecasting function, the unit has a built-in
barometer that displays atmospheric pressure. Using kineticmovement graphic illustrations the unit displays atmospheric
pressure trends and displays forecasts as sunny, partly cloudy,
cloudy, rainy and snowy.
The BAR913HGA is also a Radio Frequency (RF) controlled clock.
It can automatically synchronize its current time and date when it

BATTERY AND CHANNEL
INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT
For best operation:
1. Insert batteries for the remote unit first. Then proceed with
inserting the batteries for the main unit.
2. Position the remote unit and the main unit within effective
transmission range. In usual circumstances, the effective
range is 100 feet (30 meters).
The remote thermo-hygro sensor unit uses two (2) UM-3 or “AA”
size batteries.
Follow these steps to install / replace batteries:

Clock radio signal. However, please note that when the unit is new
and just out of the box, auto-synchronization with the U.S. Atomic
clock can take up to 72 hours.
1. Remove the screws from the battery compartment.
2. Select the channel number on the [CHANNEL] slide switch.
3. Select the temperature display unit on the °C/°F slide switch.
When the BAR913HGA is within range, its radio-control mechanism
will override all manual settings unless the auto-reception function
is manually disabled.
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the RADIO RECEPTION
signal will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes about
2 to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal.
When the reception is complete, the RADIO RECEPTION signal
will stop blinking. The strength of the reception for the last full
hour will be indicated.
For better reception, place the clock away from metal objects and
electrical appliances to minimize interference.
4. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown therein.
Should you wish to deactivate the RF controlled function, press
and hold the [ZONE] button.
5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.
Replace the batteries when the low-battery indicator of the particular
channel lights up on the display. (Repeat the steps described in
section “BEFORE YOU BEGIN”)
To reactivate the RF control function, press and hold the [UP] button.

CHECKING INDOOR AND REMOTE
TEMPERATURES & HUMIDITIES
Repeat this procedure whenever you find discrepancies between
the display on the main unit and the display on the remote sensor.
To display the indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity
readings, press the [CHANNEL] button to toggle among the indoor,
Channel 1, 2 and 3 displays.
The temperature can be shown in Centigrade (°C) or Fahrenheit
(°F). Select the appropriate reading by using the °C/°F slide switch
(located in the battery compartment). Slide the switch to °C for
Centigrade or °F for Fahrenheit.
This unit has an auto-scan function that can sequentially display
the indoor and remote readings.
To activate this function, press and hold the [CHANNEL] button
for 3 seconds. To deactivate press the [CHANNEL] button again.
If the reading goes above or below the specific measuring range, the
display will show a flashing “HHH” or “LLL”.
NOTE ON °C AND °F
The outdoor temperature display on the main unit is dominated by
the selection on the °C/°F slide switch of the main unit. Whatever
the display unit of the remote sensor is, it will only apply to the
remote sensor itself and the temperature will be automatically
converted to the chosen one of the main unit.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES & HUMIDITIES
The maximum and minimum recorded temperatures and humidities
will be automatically stored in memory. To display them, press

[MEMORY]. Press [MEMORY] again to alternate between the
maximum, minimum and current readings. The respective MAX or
MIN indicator will be displayed.
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
The atmospheric pressure indicator in the weather forecast window,
uses arrows to indicate if the atmospheric pressure has increased,
remained stable, or decreased.
To clear the memory, press [MEMORY] and hold for three seconds.
The maximum and minimum recorded readings will be erased. If
you press [MEMORY] after the memory has been erased, the
maximum and minimum readings will have the same values as the
current ones.

HOW TO CHECK THE BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE
COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS
The comfort level indicators COMFORT, WET or DRY will tell you
if the curent environment is comfortable, too wet or too dry.
The current and historical barometric pressure is shown on the
atmospheric pressure window.
For users staying at a higher altitude such as in the mountain area,
sea-level barometric pressure applies. In this case, press and hold
[HISTORY] button to enter the altitude compensation setting
mode. Use the ALT (
) or ALT (
) button to select from -328
to 8200 feet (-100 to 2500 meters) (whichever appropriate). Press
[HISTORY] button to confirm and exit.
The BAR913HGA requires entry of elevation in meters not feet. to
convert feet to meters multiply feet by .30.
To determine your location elevation, please either contact your
local library, TV/radio weather forecaster, or via Internet at http://
