A.  REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR 

1.  Remove the mounting bracket.  The 

bracket snaps on and off easily. 

2.  Remove the battery cover, by sliding the 

cover down. 

3.  Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA 

batteries.  The batteries will fit tightly (to 
avoid start-up problems make sure they do 
not spring free). 

4.  Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure battery 

cover is on securely. 

 

B.  INDOOR WEATHER STATION 

1.  Remove the battery cover.  To do this, insert a solid object in 

the space provided at the 
lower-central position of the 
battery cover, then push up 
and pull out on the battery 
cover. 

2.  Observe the correct polarity, 

and install 

3 AA

 batteries. 

3.  Replace the battery cover. 

 

Note:  Immediately after the batteries 
have been installed, the LCD (Liquid 
Crystal Display) will flash, and a tone will sound.  Within a few seconds 
the indoor temperature, indoor relative humidity, and the weather icons 
(sun and clouds) will be displayed.  If not, remove batteries for 10 seconds 
and reinstall. If the outdoor temperature is not displayed within four 
minutes, remove batteries from both units, wait 10 seconds, and reinstall 
making sure to install batteries into the remote temperature sensor first. 
The time will show -:-- and start searching for the signal. If it successfully 
receives the time signal (usually at night), it will display the correct time 
(default time-zone is Eastern). You will need to adjust the time zone to 
match your local time. 

 
PROGRAM MODE 

Programming Note:

 If 30 seconds is allowed to pass, or the CH button is 

pressed during the programming mode, the unit will confirm/set the last 
information entered—the display will stop flashing and return to normal
