The Taylor 1462 Jumbo Digital Wireless Weather System features a large four-line LCD panel for easy viewing. In the upper two lines are displayed the time, month, date, weekday, and (if activated) alarm-on icons. In the lower two lines are displayed an animated weather forecast, the indoor temperature and humidity, and the outdoor temperature along with trend arrows for barometric pressure, indoor and outdoor temperatures, and indoor humidity. Outdoor temperature data is transmitted to the 1462 main unit by the included 1457 remote sensor/transmitter, and the main unit can work with up to three of these remotes. When equipped with lithium batteries, the 1457 can operate down to -40°F/C. The 1457 has its own temperature display for local viewing, and you can select °F or °C for the display on both the 1462 and 1457 by pushing a button on each unit.

This wireless weather forecast station has a minimum/maximum memory for indoor temperature and humidity and all outdoor temperatures. Its integral dual time clock has two daily alarms with snooze. The 1462 main unit and the 1457 remote can each be wall-mounted or free-standing.

The 1462 predicts the weather 12 hours in advance based on barometric pressure changes. One of five animated forecast icons is displayed: Sunny, Partly Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy (which predicts snowy when it's cold), or Stormy. A barometric pressure trend arrow for the past hour (rising, steady, or falling) is displayed to the left of the forecast icon.

The 1462 also monitors and displays the indoor temperature and relative humidity and, as measured and reported by the included 1457 wireless sensor, the temperature at an outdoor or other remote location. Trend arrows for the past hour are displayed with all temperature readings and the indoor humidity reading. The indoor humidity is displayed in %, and temperatures can be displayed in either °F or °C, as selected (during normal operation) by depressing the MODE pushbutton on the back of the case for 3 seconds. The 1462 actually has a total of eight control pushbuttons. Seven are on the back of the case, and one is on the top.

The integral memory in the 1462 records maximum and minimum indoor temperature and humidity values plus maximum and minimum outdoor temperature values for all remotes in use These values are available for display during normal operation by momentarily depressing the MODE button. Minimum and maximum temperatures and humidity are stored and updated until the memory is reset by pressing the CLEAR button.

The 1462 forecast station uses the Taylor 1457 Digital Wireless Remote Sensor. One 1457 is included, and the 1462 actually works with up to three 1457s. Additional remote sensors are sold separately. The 1457 is a displaying remote that comes with a temperature probe on a detachable 11-foot (3.3-meter) cable. The probe is ideal for measuring the temperature in a swimming pool, hot tub, or aquarium and also in soil. Another use for the probe is in extremely cold conditions, in which case you bring the remote inside and extend the probe outside (by hanging it out of a window, for example). The 1457 should be mounted in a sheltered location where direct precipitation cannot fall on it. Although this remote is splash-resistant, it is not waterproof.

Indoor temperature measuring range of the 1462 is +23°F to +122°F (-5°C to +50°C). Outdoor/remote temperature measuring range is  -4°F to +140°F (-20°C to +60°C). Using lithium batteries in the 1457 extends its low temperature measuring limit to -40°F (-40°C). With the probe attached, the 1457's low temperature measuring limit is further extended to -58°F (-50°C).

The world time clock in the 1462 is a digital quartz clock (not atomic, but still highly accurate). This clock can display local time and hour-offset world time (GMT or +/- 12 hours). You toggle between local and world time during normal operation by pressing the SET/ZONE button on the back of the case. The 1462's clock also has two daily alarms, each of which sounds with a 2-minute crescendo pattern and has an available 5-minute snooze function. Alarm 1 and 2 bell icons are displayed above clock seconds when the alarms are activated, and the SNOOZE button is located on the top of the case.

The 1462 main unit and the 1457 remote are each powered by two AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries. These are not included and must be obtained separately. Expected battery life is 1 year. If the 1457 remote will be used in sub-freezing temperatures, lithium AA batteries are recommended instead of alkaline.

On the back of the 1462 and on the1457's mounting bracket are a keyhole slot for wall mounting and an integral folding table stand. Wall anchors and wall-mounting screws for both units are included.

If you're in need of a highly readable wireless weather forecast station, you'll find the Taylor 1462 to be both handsome and value-priced. Not only can it display temperatures in °F or °C, it also has a min/max memory for indoor and all outdoor/remote temperatures and indoor humidity. Plus, it has a world time clock with dual alarms and snooze. The 1462 is ideal for any room in the house and for monitoring the temperature in your baby's room, wine cellar, greenhouse, garage, garden, hot tub, swimming pool, aquarium, or wherever. This product comes with a Taylor 1-year limited warranty.
