BATTERY INSTALLATION 

MAIN UNIT

The Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer main unit

uses 2 “AA” batteries (not included). When the LCD

becomes dim or the respective low battery indicator

shows up on the indoor or remote temperature display,

the battery replacement is required. To install or replace

the batteries, please follow these steps:

1. Remove the battery compartment door on the back of 

the main unit.

2. Insert 2 “AA” size batteries (not included) matching 

the polarities shown.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND OR 

WALL MOUNTING

The main unit has a removable table stand, that supports

it on a flat surface. The unit can also be mounted on

the wall using the recessed screw hole. The stand must be

removed prior to mounting. The remote sensor can be

similarly mounted or placed on a flat surface.

GETTING STARTED

1. After the batteries are installed, remote sensor will 

transmit the temperature readings at adout 45 second

intervals.

2. The main unit may take up 2 minutes to receive the 

initial readings.

3. Upon successful reception, the remote temperature will 

be displayed under the top line of the main unit LCD 

display, and the indoor temperature will be displayed 

below the remote one.

4. The main unit will automatically update readings at

45-second intervals.

5. After the main unit finishes searching for the temperature 

signal from the remote unit(s), the WWVB time signal 

receiver will start searching for the atomic time signal. 

It takes about 5-8 minutes.

Always place main unit by the window for better reception.

If in 8 minutes the WWVB time signal has not been 

received, use the MODE button to set the time manually 

(see "setting the time and date manually" section.) 

The clock will continue to search for the WWVB time 

signal daily from 1:00am to 4:30am. If reception is 

successful, the time and date will be updated automatically.

6. You may activate the WWVB receiver at any time by

pressing and holding the    button for 3 seconds in the

Hour/Minute/Second display.
