BATTERY INSTALLATION AND SET-UP
Notes:
Always replace all batteries at the same time; do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline,
standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.
For maximum performance in normal conditions we recommend using good quality alkaline batteries.
When temperatures are near or below freezing (32°F / 0°C), alkaline batteries can lose power resulting in a
loss of remote transmission. If you reside in an area that experiences frequent temperatures near or below
freezing, we recommend using lithium batteries to minimize the loss of transmission.
(See additional
notes in
Locating the Base Station and Remote Sensor
below.)
NOTE: please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. Do not let children handle batteries.
PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the
thermometer or remote sensor will not be used for a long period of time.
Base Station Battery Installation
Remove the printed static cling label from the LCD screen of the base station.
Position the remote sensor near the base station.
Open the battery compartment on the back of the base station and insert (2) AAA batteries
according to the polarity markings. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Within a short time the RF signal icon
(located near the outdoor humidity reading) will start
flashing. This indicates that the base station is ready to pick up the RF signal from the remote
sensor. It will continue to flash for 3 minutes or until the signal from the remote sensor is
detected.
Register the Remote Sensor
Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote sensor and slide the channel selector
switch to your desired channel. For the first remote you may select any channel, for additional
remotes select any unusual channels.
Insert (2) AAA batteries according to the polarity markings. Be sure to install the batteries in the
remote within the time that the RF signal icon is flashing on the base station. If the icon is not
showing, press and hold
CHANNEL
for 3-4 seconds until the icon is showing.
Press the
ºC/ºF
button inside the remote sensor battery compartment to display the temperature in
ºC or ºF.
Once you see the outdoor readings on the base station the set-up is complete. Replace the battery
compartment cover.
Press the
UP/C/F
button at the back of the base station to display the temperature in ºC or ºF.
Press
CHANNEL
to select the remote channel you want displayed permanently on the base
station or keep pressing
CHANNEL
until you observe a circular arrow © on the base station
LCD screen under the channel number. The unit will then auto-scroll, continually changing from
channel to channel.
Occasionally you may experience interference on a particular channel; if your base station has
trouble picking up the RF signal, remove the batteries from the remote sensor, slide the channel
selector switch to another channel and reinstall the batteries.
Note:
The
TX
button inside the remote sensor battery compartment is for factory testing; you will
not need to use it.
