indicates main unit batteries are low.
NOTE
Do not use rechargeable batteries. We recommend that you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer usage and lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.
The sensor collects temperature and humidity readings approx. every 40 seconds and sends them to the main unit. The main unit can collect data from up to 3 sensors.
To set up the sensor:
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).
The sensor reception icon in the remote sensor area shows the status.

Main unit is searching for the sensor(s) | |
A channel has been found and sensor signal is being received | |
and "- -. -" (Outdoor temperature Area) | The sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries |
To search for a sensor:
Simultaneously, press and hold MEM and CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
NOTE
If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.
This product is designed to synchronize its date and time automatically once it is within range of:
The clock collects the radio signals whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.
NOTE
Slide the EU / UK switch to appropriate position for your location. Repeat each time you reset the unit.
NOTE
Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes for first set up or when RESET is pressed. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. If the signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to get a valid signal.
Clock signal reception indicator:
STRONG SIGNAL | WEAK SIGNAL | NO SIGNAL |
To enable and force a signal search:
Press and hold for 2 seconds.
To disable the signal reception:
Press and hold for 2 seconds.
If the clock signal reception is enabled and a signal is being received the clock does not need to be manually set.
NOTE
The time zone offset can be used to set the clock up to + / - 9 hours from the received clock signal time. If you have disabled the clock signal reception (i.e. manually setting the clock), do not set a value for time zone offset.
NOTE
The language options are English (E), German (D), French (F), Italian (I), and Spanish (S).
Press MODE to choose between the clock with seconds and clock with weekday display modes.

To silence the alarm:
Barometer readings from the past 24 hours are stored by the main unit and used to provide weather forecast.
To select barometer measurement unit:
Press PRESSURE to toggle between mb and inHg.
To ensure barometric readings are reliable set the altitude to reflect distance from sea level at your position.
NOTE
The maximum operating altitude for the barometer and weather forecast is 2500m (8202 ft).
This product forecasts the next 12 to 24 hours of weather within a 30-50 km (19-31 mile) radius based on barometric pressure trend readings.

To toggle temperature unit:
Press °C / °F.
To view outdoor sensors temperature readings:
Press CHANNEL.
To auto-scan between sensors:
Press and hold CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
Each sensor's data is displayed for 3 seconds.
To end auto-scan:
Press CHANNEL or MEM.
To toggle between current, minimum and maximum records for the selected sensor:
Press MEM repeatedly.
To clear the records:
Press and hold MEM for 2 seconds.
The temperature, humidity and pressure trend icons are based on recent sensor readings.

If the channel 1 sensor falls between 3°C to –2°C (37°F to 28°F), flashes to warn you that the temperature is approaching freezing.
NOTE
The warning will automatically stop if the temperature goes outside the ice-warning range.
Temperature and humidity alerts can be set to sound if sensor set to channel 1 records above or below a temperature/humidity of your choice.
To set alarm ON / OFF:
To silence the hi / lo alarm:
Press any key. The alarm resets automatically and will resound if the hi / lo temperature is recorded again.
The heat index combines temperature and humidity data to describe the actual temperature felt.
WARNING | HEAT INDEX | MEANING |
Extreme danger | 54.5°C / (130°F) or above | Strong risk of dehydration / sun stroke |
Danger | 40.5 - 54°C (105 - 129°F) | Heat exhaustion likely |
Extreme caution | 32.2 - 40°C (90 - 104°F) | Possibility of heat dehydration |
Caution | 26.6 - 31.7°C (80 - 89°F) | Possibility of heat exhaustion |
NOTE
If the heat index is below 80°F / 26°C, or the desired channel is not working, the heat index will display NA.
