3. Battery compartment
4. Battery door
5. RESET hole
6. CHANNEL switch

GETTING STARTED

To set up the sensor:

1. Slide open the battery door.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ / -). Reset after each battery change.
3. Select a channel. Make sure you use a different channel for each sensor.
   
4. Close the battery compartment.
5. Place sensor next to the main unit.
6. Initiate a sensor search on the main unit to start receiving temperature data from the sensor.
7. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand.
   

NOTE:
Install batteries in the remote sensor before the main unit. Press RESET after each battery change. 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.

For best results:

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters (100 feet) 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 -20°C (-4°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).

PRECAUTIONS

This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if you handle it carefully. Here are a few precautions:

• Do not immerse the unit in water. If you spill liquid over it, dry it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive materials.
• Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity, which may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged battery and distorted parts.
• Do not tamper with the unit's internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty on the unit and may cause unnecessary damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable parts.
• Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user's instructions. Do not mix new and old batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Remove batteries when storing the product for a long time.
• Due to printing limitations, the displays shown in this manual may differ from the actual display.
• The contents of this manual may not be reproduced without the permission of the manufacturer.
• Do not dispose this product as unsorted municipal waste. Collection of such waste separately for special treatment is necessary.

NOTE:
The technical specifications for this product and the contents of the user manual are subject to change without notice.
