Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oregon Scientific WMR968 Cable Free Complete Weather Station
Customer Review: A Very Good Buy
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not sure what Oregon Scientific is doing shipping this thing without a manual (I mean, what comes with it is not very useful), because in my opinion, the company sells some excellent products for the money. Why then go on the cheap and risk your reputation just because you can't put together a good manual, which might add 40 cents to the cost of each unit when all the costs have been considered (including hiring a professional technical writer)? So I have to wonder who is managing that company.
I can imagine the average person who tries to get this thing going is going to spend a lot of time in the physical installation and then, after their significant work, get especially frustrated due to the fact that ultimately, the devil is in the procedural and electronic details.
I was lucky and got mine to work right away (I think) but I am used to unraveling trainwrecks.
Then I found the Radio Shack manual for the similar item!
Do as many have suggested, and get the manual for the Radio Shack version. I am not sure that they still sell this, but you should be able to find a manual on their site or somewhere else by searching for their item # 630-1016. Or for "Radio Shack Wireless Weather Staion". Some people like to make fun of Radio Shack for various reasons, but give them credit for at least understanding THEIR market.
Now that mine is installed, I am going to print that Radio Shack manual and see what I missed and maybe actually how to USE it. The bottom line here is that if you can get your hands on a manual, this unit is awesome for 200 bucks.

Completely wireless and simple to install, this home weather station tracks and stores data about more than 20 weather conditions and displays them on a touch-screen LCD monitor that measures only 8 inches wide by 5-1/2 inches high. The instruction booklet accompanying the weather station is easy to comprehend, making the station accessible to children, as well as adult hobbyists, gardeners, campers, and fishing enthusiasts. There are three outdoor sensors, each powered by a solar cell: an anemometer that attaches to a building, fence, or roof to measure wind speed and direction; a thermo-hygrometer to measure temperature and humidity; and a self-emptying rain gauge. (At least six hours of sunshine are needed to operate the solar cells for 24 hours. Each sensor has a backup battery-power unit that requires two AA batteries--not included.) A 4-1/4-by-2-3/4-inch baro-hygrometer measures indoor temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity, and mounts on a wall or stands on a desk. (It requires four AAA batteries--not included.)
The touch-screen monitor keeps track of the indoor and outdoor sensors, and also displays local weather/barometric pressure forecasts. Additionally, it has a calendar/clock, an alarm that sounds when sensors detect conditions beyond parameters set by the user, a memory button for retrieving past data, and an AC power adapter. (Its backup battery-power unit requires four AA batteries--not included.) The system can support three additional remote sensors and can interface with a PC. Additional sensors, the PC-link software/cable kit, and a long-term data-memory accessory are all sold separately. --Fred Brack
