This system shows the temperature and humidity at two locations and automatically sets and updates the time with split-second accuracy. The system has two wireless units: a monitor that displays the time, day, and date, as well as the temperature and humidity in its location; and a remote indoor/outdoor sensor that displays the temperature and the humidity where it's located--garden, greenhouse, wine cellar, or baby's room. You can place it up to 90 feet away, and it will radio the temperature and humidity to the monitor for display. (The monitor can handle data from two additional remote sensors, which must be ordered separately.) For keeping track of time, the monitor is equipped with a radio receiver tuned to the U.S. Atomic Clock, enabling the monitor to automatically adjust, if necessary, to the Atomic Clock's signals six times every 24 hours. The monitor displays the time zone for which the user has set the clock. (Adjustment for daylight-saving time and leap year is automatic.) The clock can also function as a crescendo alarm for wakeup or reminder.

The monitor displays the minimum and maximum temperature and humidity readings at its location, as well as that of the remote sensor, during a selected period, and shows trends (rising, falling, or steady) of this data. Users can set alarms for both units to sound when the temperature or humidity rises or falls above or below limits set by the user. You can set up both the 5-1/2-by-3-1/4-inch monitor and the 4-1/8-by-2-3/4-inch sensor on flat surfaces or on wall mounts, and you can set them to show temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Each unit operates on two AA batteries. (All batteries included.) --Fred Brack
