3. Select a channel. Make sure you use a different
channel for each sensor.
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET
on the sensor.
5. Simultaneously press CHANNEL and MEM on the
main unit to initiate signal sending between the
sensor and main unit.
6. Close the battery door and secure the screws.
7. Place the sensor in the desired location using the
table stand or wall mount.

For best results:
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and
•
moisture.
Do not place the sensor more than 30 m (100 ft) from
•
the main (indoor) unit.
Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)
•
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the
•
sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold
•
winter months as below-freezing temperatures may
affect battery performance and signal transmission.
The transmission range may vary depending on many
factors. You may need to experiment with various
locations to get the best results.
Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts
of water. Because of this they will freeze in low
temperatures of approximately -12°C (10°F). Disposable
Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for
temperature with an estimated freezing range of below
-30°C (-22°F).
Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors
such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold
may temporarily reduce the effective range between the
sensor and the base station. If the unit's performance
fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper
functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal
temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage will occur
to the unit due to low temperatures).
