5. Insert two AA batteries.
6. Verify the correct channel number (CH) and temperature units of
measure (°F / °C) are on the display, as shown in Figure 12.

remote is on a different channel.
5.5 Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Note:
To insure proper communication, mount the remote sensor(s)
upright on a vertical surface, such as a wall.
Do not lay the sensor flat.
Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and
metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble free
wireless communication.
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)
. Keep the console several feet
away from computer monitors and TVs.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
If you have other devices operating
on the same frequency band as your indoor and/or outdoor sensors and
experience intermitted communication between sensor and console, try
turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. You may
need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent
communication.
1.
Line of Sight Rating.
This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight
(no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100
feet maximum under most real-world installations, which include
passing through barriers or walls.
2.
Metal Barriers.
Radio frequency will not pass through metal
barriers such as aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align
the remote and console through a window to get a clear line of
sight.
