With a new double-tool design, the Honeywell TE242ELW Personal Weather Station with Atomic Clock and Dual Alarm boasts an elegant glossy finish that is perfect for modern decors. The Honeywell TE242ELW is the quickest, most accurate, and most convenient way of keeping track of the weather in and around your home or office.
The TE242ELW allows you to monitor temperatures in up to three remote locations at the same time, while simultaneously providing you with the most accurate timekeeping available. This system comes with a compact main display unit and a single, water-resistant Honeywell TS15C remote temperature sensor that can be used both indoors and out. And with an effective transmission range of up to 200 feet, you can install the remote sensor virtually anywhere in or near the house. If you need to know the temperature in multiple locations, you can purchase up to two more TS15C remote sensors and use them all with the same main display unit.
The TE242ELW uses easy-to-read digits on a bright, blue backlit LCD display that allows you to read its information at a glance day or night. The screen displays the current temperatures at both the main display, and the remote sensor location in either Celsius or Fahrenheit depending upon your selection. As an added convenience, this system contains a programmable ice warning alarm, which lets you know when a frost is predicted so you can take extra precautions. Users will also delight in this system's wide outdoor temperature range, which can range from -38 to 158 degrees F when powered by lithium batteries, making it suitable for virtually any application. And for those who like to keep track of the highs and lows, the TE242ELW has a memory that stores minimum and maximum temperatures for both the main display and remote sensor locations.
More than just a personal weather station, the TE242ELW includes a built-in clock that can display the current time in 12- or 24-hour format. And this clock really will display the current time, since it receives radio signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. Not only does this consistently adjust the clock to within one second of official U.S. government, but automatically adjusts the time for Daylight Savings Time as well. What's more, this clock comes with dual alarms that feature a crescendo tone and a snooze function, as well as a calendar with month and day readings. As convenient as it is accurate, the display unit can be mounted on the wall so you always know right where to look, or sit on your desktop and go wherever you do.

Adjust the minutes using UP or DOWN arrow buttons4. Press ALARM button once again to confirm the settings and the weekday alarm time will be set5. Set a Single (S) day alarm if desired in the same manner
Q: WHAT DOES PRE-AL MEAN?
A: When temperature drops below freezing; programmable Ice Warning Alarm (PRE-AL) automatically wakes you up earlier; giving an extra time to get ready.It programmed to sound before the actual alarm if the remote temperature for Channel one (1) will reach 32F (0C) and below. You can set this alarm to 15 to 90 minutes earlier than actual time alarm.
Q: HOW DO I CHANGE A TEMPERATURE UNIT IN MY TE242ELW?
A: The temperature measurement unit (C or F) can be changed only through entering clock setting procedure:1. Press and hold MODE for 3 seconds - the year digit will flash.2.

Q: WILL MY ATOMIC TIME UNIT WORK IN ALASKA AND HAWAII?
A: If used in Alaska and Hawaii; the Atomic Time clocks will not receive the RF signal from the US Atomic Clock during the normal daylight hours. The 50kW radio signal transmitted at 60 kHz frequency covers the Continental United States (CONUS) and reaches parts of Alaska and Hawaii during the night-time hours. However; this clock can be set manually if the signal from Boulder; Colorado is not able to reach the locations that geographically are not in the US Atomic Clock Time Signal coverage area.
Q: MY TE242ELW DID NOT RECEIVE ATOMIC TIME SIGNAL DURING INITIAL SETUP. HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED?
A: Please; consider the following when atomic time is not set during the initial setup: During night-time hours; atmospheric conditions improve radio signal reception. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within milliseconds. Unit should be positioned 8 feet (2 meters) from interference sources such as a TV; computer; microwave; etc. The signal reception is weakened within concrete walls found in basements or office buildings. Place the unit near the window for best reception.Once the atomic time signal is received; the date and time will be set automatically; and the atomic time reception icon will appear. Your units atomic clock is programmed to search for the atomic time signal daily each hour between 1:00 am and 4:30 am. Once the time signal has been successfully received; the time and date will be updated automatically.
Q: MY TE242ELW NO LONGER SHOWS AN OUTDOOR/REMOTE TEMPERATURE.WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS?
A: If the main unit display mode for the remote sensor reading shows dashes (- - -); press and hold the DOWN arrow button for 3-4 seconds to begin a new signal search. As soon as the signal search icon will start flashing above the remote channel number release the DOWN arrow button.If the signal isnt received within two minutes; please make sure that:Make sure that the red light is flashing from the remote sensors LED indicator every 45-47 secondsThe remote sensor is in its proper location. The distance between main unit and remote sensor is not over 200 feet (60meters). The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the distance if necessary. Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor and main unit. If outdoor temperature reached 32F and lower we recommend using lithium batteries versus alkalineBatteries were inserted into the remote unit first and the main unit next. If there is still no communication; please perform the following steps:Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together. Remove the four (4) small screws from the back of the remote sensor with a small Phillips screwdriver and open the battery compartment. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal. Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in the same manner. The remote temperature appeared on the main units display will show that transmission is being received successfully.
Q: WHERE DO I PLACE A REMOTE SENSOR?
A: Place the remote sensor in the area you intent to measure environmental conditions. Example: If you wish measuring an outdoor environment conditions; place the remote sensor outdoors. If you wish measuring an attic environment conditions; place the remote sensor to the attic; and etc.Outdoors the remote sensor should be placed in a dryer; shaded area. Fog and mist will not harm the remote sensor but direct rain must be avoided.TE242ELW receiver (main unit) has operating range of up to 200 feet in an open area. So sensor should be placed within this operating range. Any walls or other obstacles will reduce this distance
