USING THE SUB-UNIT

Data is transferred from the sub-unit to the main unit every three minutes.
•
The sub-unit is able to send data to the main unit up to an unobstructed distance of about 30 meters.
•
The data receive status is indicated on the display of the main unit by the icons shown below.

Receive unsuccessful

If a receive operation is not successful for some reason, the display of the main unit shows dashes (–) in place of
the sub-unit temperature value.
•
If you experience problems with data transfer, press the RE-SYNC button (

this does not eliminate the problem, try changing the positions or orientations of the main unit and sub-unit.
