2. The effective operating range may be influenced by the surrounding building
materials and how the receiver and transmitter are positioned.
3. Place the remote sensor so that it faces the main unit (receiver), minimizing
obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.
4. Though the remote sensors are weather-resistant, they should be placed
away from direct sunlight, rain or snow. The best suggested location for the
remote sensor for outdoors is under the eave on the north side of the building.
NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in the
outdoor remote sensor may have reduced voltage supply and a shorter
effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures of
32°F (0°C) and below.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
REMOTE SENSOR
NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and temperature in °C or °F
before mounting the remote sensor.
·
Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips
screwdriver.
·
Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery
compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote sensor
is being used.
·
Install 2 “AAA” size alkaline batteries (not included) matching the
polarities shown in the battery compartment.
·
Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.
·
Secure the remote sensor in the desired location.

MAIN UNIT
·
Remove the battery compartment door.
·
Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) matching the polarity as
shown in the battery compartment.
·
Replace the battery compartment door.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
A low-battery indicator [
] will appear next to the indoor or remote data
reading line of the main unit warning that the corresponding batteries need
replacement.
GETTING STARTED
WEATHER DISPLAY
After batteries are installed; remote sensor will transmit temperature data at 45
second intervals. The main unit may take up to two minutes to receive the initial
readings. Upon successful reception, remote temperature will appear on the
top line of the main unit’s display (the default remote channel is channel one).
The main unit will automatically update readings at 45-second intervals.
After communication between the main unit and remote sensor has been
established, secure the remote sensor in the desired location.
If no signal is received from the remote sensor within two minutes, dashes [- - -]
will be displayed. Press and hold the DOWN (
q
) button on the main unit for
two seconds to initiate another signal search.
PLACEMENT OF THE UNITS
The main unit can be placed on any flat surface indoors.
The remote sensor
can be placed indoors or outdoors, on a flat surface or mounted on the wall.
