NOTES
• Opening the housing of either the remote sensor or the home receiver
will invalidate your warranty. Do not attempt to repair this unit. There
are no consumer serviceable parts.
• If you encounter any difficulties in setting up your wireless thermometer
system, please contact Consumer Relations.
• Your new RF Thermometer is built with random security code tech-
nology. The home receiver will learn the random code of the first remote
sensor and log it in as channel 1. Channel 2 and Channel 3 will be reg-
istered in the same way if additional sensors are used. The home
receiver can monitor up to 3 separate sensors.
• Once a channel is registered, it will not accept any new sensors.
However, registered channels can be erased by removing the batteries
in the remote sensor or the home unit.
• When replacing batteries for the remote sensor - Remember to clear the
corresponding channel of the home receiver by removing the batteries
or select the respective channel of the sensor by pressing the
CHANNEL button on the home receiver. Hold the CHANNEL button for
3 seconds to clear the registration.
• When replacing batteries for the home receiver - Please remove the
batteries of all remote sensors. Once you have replaced the home
receiver batteries, re-install the batteries to the sensors according to the
desired channel sequence. This will ensure that the home receiver and
the remote sensors are properly synchronized.
• Press the Tx button on the back of remote sensor to verify the RF
reception.
• It is recommended to test the home receiver and the remote sensor
next to each other to ensure that both are properly synchronized.
• Keep the remote sensor out of direct sunlight and rain.
Do not mount on a metal surface.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Indoor and Outdoor temperatures do not match when
placed next to each other -
Each sensor is manufactured to be +/- 2 degrees in accuracy under
normal conditions. So it is possible to have up to four degrees difference
shown on the separate temperature sensors (one could be "+2 degree"
and the other "-2 degrees". Additionally, the calibration curve is different
between the two units because of the greater temperature range of the
outdoor sensor. Errors are usually noted on the extreme ends of the tem-
perature ranges.
Base unit is not accepting remote
transmissions -
The units may not be properly synchronized or the batteries may need to
be replaced. See "GETTING STARTED" section beginning on page 2 of
the instructions for detailed instructions. With the two units next to each
other, attempt synchronization. Remember to always place the remote
sensor within the effective transmission range and away from large metal
surfaces.
What is the recommended battery type?
We recommend using only alkaline batteries for replacements.
