BEFORE YOU BEGIN
• We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote
sensor and main unit when temperatures are above 32°F
(0°C). We recommend using lithium batteries for the
remote sensor when temperatures are below 32°F (0°C).
• Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable
batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements).
• ALWAYS install batteries in the remote sensor before
the main unit.
• Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in
the battery compartment
• Press RESET after each battery change with a paper clip
or similar tool.
• Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if
any).
• During an initial setup, place the main unit close to the
remote sensor.
• After reception is established (the remote temperature
will appear on the main unit's display), position the remote
sensor and the main unit within the effective transmission
range of 100 feet (30 meters).
• The remote sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors,
depending on the area where the temperature is
intended to be measured. If you intend measuring outdoor
temperature, place temperature sensor outdoors.
• The main unit must be placed indoors.
NOTE:
1. Avoid pressing any buttons on the main unit before the
remote temperature is displayed.
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.

GETTING STARTED
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 in the
temperature window below the weather forecast on 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 (
) button on the main unit for two seconds to
initiate another signal search.
REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURE WINDOW
The temperature window default display shows the indoor
and remote temperature information (remote temperature is
on the top, and indoor temperature is on the bottom line).
The IN icon indicates that the unit is displaying the indoor
readings.
The remote temperature for channel two and three can be
recalled by pressing CHANNEL button.
The wave (reception) icon is located above the remote
channel number and indicates the reception status from the
remote sensor.
There are three following types of the reception status may
be displayed:
The unit is in a searching mode.
Temperature readings is
securely registered.
No signals detected.

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
• Open the battery compartment door.
• Install 4 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 [
remote temperature reading line of the main unit warning
that the corresponding batteries need replacement.
NOTE: If the indoor or remote temperature goes above or
below operating range stated in specifications, the main
unit's display will show dashes "- - -" .
WEATHER FORECAST WINDOW
This Weather Forecaster is capable of detecting atmospheric
pressure changes. Based on collected weather data, it
forecasts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.

NOTE: The weather forecast accuracy is
approximately 70%.
The main unit display shows forecasted (predicted) not
current conditions. The SUNNY icon indicates clear
weather, even when displayed during the night-time.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM READINGS
The maximum and minimum record of the indoor and
remote temperature will be automatically stored in the
memory of the main unit (receiver).
To display the minimum or maximum temperature reading
press CHANNEL and DOWN ( ) button simultaneously.
If no button is pressed for the nex display.
To clear the memory, press and hold CHANNEL button
for two seconds and all previously stored readings will be
erased.
