to “TEMP HUM”.

To exit Setup Mode, press and hold the DONE key.
Viewing Current Temperature and Humidity
Press the TEMP key until you see an ‘outside’ temperature displayed on the
console screen, with the correct Station No. displayed above or below it. Do the
same with the HUM key. It may take up to one minute for the sensor values to
appear on your console. This confirms communication between your transmit-
ting station and the console.
If You Do Not See Current Values from the Correct Station No.
First, verify that the console/receiver is powered and is not in Setup Mode (exit
Setup Mode by pressing DONE key and holding it for a moment). Then, on the
temperature/humidity station, check that the battery is properly installed. Walk
around the room with the console, standing for a few moments in various loca-
tions to see if you are picking up signals.
If you don’t see readings no matter where you stand with the console, put your
transmitter in TEST mode.
TEST Mode
Switch #4 on the SIM (see illustration on page 6) controls the station’s test
mode. Set the switch to the ON position using a ball-point pen or paper clip.
When in test mode, an LED indicator light flashes each time the station trans-
mits:
✦
The LED will immediately flash once to show that the light itself functions.
✦
Then it will flash each time the transmitter broadcasts a signal, which should be
every 10 seconds.
If the LED flashes only once and then remains dark, there is a problem with the
transmitter. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 14.
If the LED flashes repeatedly but your console isn’t picking up a signal any-
where in the room, it could be related to one of the following causes:
✦
The ID switches were not correctly set on the transmitter.
Review the procedure on page 5.
✦
The station ID was not correctly set on the console/receiver.
Review the procedure on page 6.
✦
Reception is being disrupted by RF (radio frequency) interference.
✦
There is a problem with the console/receiver.
Refer to Troubleshooting, page 14.
Note:
Remember
to set the Test switch
OFF
when you’re finished testing wireless transmission. If it is
left ON, the blinking LED will significantly reduce battery life.
