Taylor 1733, Instruction Manual

Page: 4 / 7

Always replace all batteries in each unit 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.
NOTE: Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let children handle batteries. If swallowed,
seek medical attention immediately.
PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the units will not
be used for a long period of time.
PROBLEM SOLVING
1. If the base unit does not receive a transmission from the remote sensor for one hour, the outdoor temperature
display will show dashes (“ - - ”). Press and hold the “ DOWN ” button on the back of the base unit for 3 seconds to
force a transmission signal. If the connection still fails:
a)
Check that the remote is properly positioned, within the appropriate transmission range (200 feet/60 meters).
Transmissions are vastly affected by building materials and where the receiver and remote units are positioned.
Try various set ups for the best results. Shorten the distance between receiver and remote units when necessary.
b) Check to make sure the transmission path is clear of obstacles and interference.
c) Place the remote sensor closer to the base unit.
d) Remove and reinstall all batteries. Try fresh batteries.
2. If the current temperature is higher than the range of the unit, the display will show “HH”. If the current temperature
is lower, the display will show “LL”.
•
Indoor temperature range is 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C).
•
Outdoor temperature range transmitted by remote sensor is -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) using alkaline
batteries. (Use of Lithium batteries can extend the range to -40°F to 140°F / -40°C to 60°C.)
3. The temperature sensors are manufactured to the accurate within plus or minus 2°F (1°C) within a temperature range
from 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C) and plus or minus 4°F (2°C) outside that range. Therefore, 2 units placed next to each
other may report different readings. This is a normal occurrence with digital sensors and should not be considered a
defect.
4. For maximum performance in normal conditions, good quality alkaline batteries are recommended. When
temperatures are below 0°F, 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 0°F, lithium batteries are recommended to
minimize the loss of transmission.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as doorbells, home security systems and entry controls, may interfere. This is
normal and does not affect the general performance of this product. The transmission will resume once the interference
recedes.
Important: Though the remote sensor is weather resistant, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and
should never be submerged in water.
PRECAUTIONS
1. The base unit is intended for indoor use only. It is not sealed against moisture and could be damaged if used
outdoors. The remote sensor is weather-resistant but not weather-proof or waterproof. Do not immerse it in water
or allow snow to accumulate on it. Do not leave it outdoors in extreme weather conditions. If these conditions
become likely to occur, temporarily move the sensor to an indoor area. Otherwise, permanent damage to the
sensor's internal circuits may occur.
2. Do not immerse the units in water. If you spill liquid on one, dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
3. Do not clean the units with abrasive or corrosive materials. This may scratch plastic parts and corrode electronic
circuits.
4. Do not subject units to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity. This may result in malfunction, shorter
electronic life span, damaged batteries or distorted parts.
5. Do not tamper with the unit's internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty on this product and may
cause damage. Other than replacing the batteries, the units contain no user-serviceable parts.
6. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.)
batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the units will not
be used for a long period of time.
