5. On the main unit select the same channel number that 

set on the remote sensor. Outdoor temperature on the 

display will show that transmission is being received

successfully.

Note: When the temperature falls below the freezing point 

the batteries in the remote sensor(s) will freeze 

lowering their voltage output and effective range. 

During prolonged periods of extreme cold it is 

advisable to bring the remote sensor indoors, if 

alkaline batteries are being used. We recommend to

use lithium ion batteries at temperatures below 32˚F.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

 

Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, 

home security systems and entry controls, may interfere 

with this product and cause temporary reception failure.

This is normal and does not affect the general performance

of the product. The transmission and reception of the

temperature readings will resume once the interference ends. 

CHECKING REMOTE AND 

INDOOR TEMPERATURE

The indoor temperature is shown on the second line of the 

main unit display. The remote temperature is shown on 

the top line of the display. The wave icon near the remote

temperature reading indicates that there is a good

reception from the remote sensor. If there is no signals

received from the remote unit for more than 2 minutes, a

dashes “       ” will be displayed.

Press and hold     button for 2 seconds to activate an

immediate signal search.

DISABLING ATOMIC TIME 

SIGNAL RECEPTION

The main unit can be set manually to disable the daily 

reception of the WWVB time signal.

Press and hold the     and     buttons at the same time for

3 seconds and the radio reception icon will disappear.

To enable WWVB receiver, press and hold the     and     

buttons at the same time for 3 seconds again. The radio

reception icon will flash. The main unit will start to

search for the WWVB time signal immediately.

LOST COMMUNICATION

If the main unit display for the remote sensor goes blank,

press and hold     for 3 seconds to begin a new signal 

search. If the signal still isn't received, please make sure

that:

1. The remote sensor is in its proper location.

2. The distance between the main and remote units is not

over 100 feet.

3. The path between units is clear of obstacles.

Shorten the distance between units if necessary.

4. Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote

sensor and main unit.

If it does not work, please perform the following steps:

1. Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.

2. Remove 4 small screws from the back of the remote 

sensor and open the battery compartment.

3. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and 

reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED

indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal. 

4. Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall 

them in the same manner.
