3.
Press the MIN/MAX key to return to current temperature display.
When several transmitters are used:
1.
Select the desired channel first by pressing the CH key.

Note: The transmitter number will only be displayed if more than one transmitter is used
.
RESETTING THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM RECORDS:
To reset the MIN/MAX records:
1.
Press the MIN/MAX key once to display the min record.
2.
Press and hold the MIN/MAX key again for about 3 seconds to reset all the minimum/
maximum data to the current temperature values.
Note: All indoor and outdoor MIN/MAX records from all transmitters will be reset at the
same time.
TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The outdoor temperature is measured and transmitted to the Temperature Station every 4
seconds approximately.
The range of the Temperature Transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold
temperatures, the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when
placing the transmitter.

915 MHz RECEPTION CHECK
The Temperature Station should receive the temperature data within few minutes after set-up.
If
the temperature data is not being received about 2 minutes after setting up (the display shows “-
- -” after consecutive failures in receiving signal for times), please check the following points:
1.
The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitter should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet
(1.5 to 2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV
sets.
2.
Avoid positioning the Temperature Station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal
window frames.
3.
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same
signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4.
Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also
cause interference.
Note:
When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the
transmitter or Temperature station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force
20
a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see
Setting up
above)
otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The transmission range is about 330 feet / 100 m from the transmitter to the Temperature
Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and
interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all
system units have to be reset (see
Setting up
).
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
Low battery indicators are displayed on the LCD when the batteries require changing.
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
The Temperature Station comes attached with foldout table stand, which provides the option of
table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor
temperature values can be received from the desired locations.
