2. Battery installation and setup
1.
Position the remote sensor near the base station.
2.
Remove the wall mounting bracket from the remote sensor.
3.
Open the battery compartment using a screwdriver to remove the 4 screws at the bottom, on the back side of the
unit.
4.
The remote sensor is preset to channel “1”. If you are installing additional remote sensors, slide the channel
selector (1-2-3) switch to the desired channel.
5.
Insert (2) AAA batteries according to the polarity markings.
6.
Press the °C/°F button to select your desired setting.
7.
Slide open the battery door at the back of the base station and insert (2) AA batteries according to the polarity
markings. Slide the battery door closed.
8.
Press the °C/°F button on the back of the unit to select your desired setting.
9.
The base station will begin to look for the RF signal from the remote sensor.
10.
Press the CHANNEL button on the back of the base station until the number matches the channel on the remote
sensor.
11.
When the outdoor temperature reading is shown on the base station the connection is confirmed. The connection
may take several minutes.
12.
There may be interference that prevents the base station from picking up the RF signal on a particular channel. If
you are not getting a signal connection, slide the channel selector switch on the remote sensor to another channel
and switch to the corresponding channel on the base station.
13.
If you have installed more than one sensor, press CHANNEL to select the remote channel you want displayed
permanently on the base station. Or press CHANNEL until you observe a circular arrow on the base station LCD
display. The unit will then auto-scroll through the channels.
14.
The mode button in the battery compartment of the remote sensor can be pressed to establish manual contact
between the base station and remote sensor. Press and hold for 5 seconds. This can be done for test purposes
but should not be necessary.
15.
Replace the battery compartment cover of the remote sensor and tighten the 4 screws. Do not over-tighten the
screws.
Notes:
•
Do not mix old and new batteries.
•
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon zinc), or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.
•
For maximum performance in normal conditions we recommend using good quality alkaline batteries. When
temperatures are below 0°C (32°F), alkaline batteries can lose power resulting in a loss of remote transmission.
If you reside in an area that frequently experiences sub-zero temperatures, we recommend using lithium batteries
to minimize the loss of transmission.
3. Setting up the base station and remote sensor
•
Choose a suitable place for the base station and remote outdoor sensor, within transmission range.
•
Place the base unit near a window, but away from direct sunlight or sources of heat or air conditioning to ensure
accurate temperature readings.
•
The remote sensor is water resistant, but not waterproof. Locate the sensor in an area where it will not be
exposed to rain, snow or ice, which can damage the electronic circuitry.
•
In areas of extreme low temperatures, relocate the remote sensor indoors. Plug the sensor wire (included) into
the remote and route the wire through a nearby window. Be sure to plug in the wire securely. Poor contact will
result in a “LL” reading on the base station outdoor temperature display.
•
The location you choose is critical for maximizing the transmission range. The remote sensor is designed to
transmit unimpeded for about 24 to 30m (80 to 100 ft). Transmitting through walls, metal doors and metal framed
windows may reduce the transmission range. To optimize the transmission distance, the remote should be
positioned in a location that minimizes these obstructions. Interference from other sources such as home security
systems, wireless doorbells and wireless home entertainment equipment may interrupt the transmission signal
temporarily.
