CHECK REMOTE AND INDOOR
TEMPERATURES
The indoor temperature is shown on the 3rd line of
the display.
To check the temperature at a remote sensors location,
you need to select its channel. Press
CHANNEL
to
go from one channel to another. The kinetic wave
display on the channel number indicates the reception
of that particular channel is in good order.
If no readings are received from one particular channel
for more than two minutes, blanks “
” will be
displayed until further readings are successfully
searched. Check that the remote unit is sound and
secure. You can wait for a little while or press
CHANNEL
and
MEMORY
simultaneously to enforce
an immediate search. No reading will be shown if no
remote unit is assigned to a selected channel.
The temperature trend indicator on the screen shows
the trend of samplings collected at a particular remote
site. Three trends, rising, steady, and falling will be
shown.

If the temperature goes above or below the
temperature measuring range of the main unit or the
remote unit (stated in specification), the display will
show “HHH” or “LLL”.
READ THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving
status of the main unit. There are three possible forms:
The unit is in searching
mode.
Temperature readings are
securely registered.
No signals.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
The maximum and minimum recorded indoor
temperatures and those of each channel will be
automatically stored in memory. To display them:
1.
Select the channel to be checked.
2.
Press
MEMORY
once to display the maximum
temperature and again the minimum temperature.
The respective indicators, MAX or MIN will be
displayed.
To clear the memory, press and hold
MEMORY
for
two seconds. The maximum and minimum
temperatures will be erased. If you press
MEMORY
now, the maximum and minimum temperatures will
have the same values as the current ones until new
readings are recorded.
DISCONNECTED SIGNALS
If without obvious reason the display for a particular
channel goes blank, press
CHANNEL
and
MEMORY
to enforce an immediate search. If that fails, check:
1.
The remote unit of that channel is still in place.
2.
The batteries of both the remote unit and main
unit. Replace as necessary.
3.
The transmission is within range and path is clear
of obstacles and interference. Shorten the
distance when necessary.
For best results, use lithium ion batteries in the remote
sensing unit if the outdoor temperature falls below
41
°
F (-5
°
C), other battery types will not function at
such low temperatures.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as door
bells, home security systems and entry controls, may
interfere with those of this product and cause
temporarily reception failure. This is normal and does
not affect the general performance of the product. The
transmission and reception of temperature readings
will resume once the interference recedes.
SWITCHING BETWEEN
°
C AND
°
F
The unit of temperature display is selected on the
°
C/
°
F
slide switch. Select
°
C for Centigrade or
°
F for Fahrenheit.
The remote temperature display shown on the
main unit is dominated by the selection on the
°
C/
°
F
slide switch of the main unit. Whatever the display units
of the remote sensors are, they will be automatically
converted to the chosen one of the main unit.
WEATHER FORECAST FUNCTION
Your BAR888 detects barometric pressure changes
and the LCD displays the illustrated weather symbols
which indicates the weather forecast for 12 to 24 hours
ahead, for an area with a radius of about 30-50 km.
