BATTERY INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Notes:
Notes:

Always replace all batteries at the same time; do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard
(carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.

For maximum performance in normal conditions we recommend using good quality alkaline batteries. When
temperatures are near or below freezing (32°F / 0°C), alkaline batteries can lose power resulting in a loss of remote
transmission. If you reside in an area that experiences frequent temperatures near or below freezing, we recommend
using lithium batteries to minimize the loss of transmission. See additional notes in Locating the Base Station and
Remote Sensor below.
NOTE: please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. Do not let children handle batteries.
PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the
thermometer or remote sensor will not be used for a long period of time.

Base Station Battery Installation


Remove the printed vinyl label from the LCD screen of the base station

Position the remote sensor near the base station

Open the battery compartment at the back of the base station and insert (2) AA batteries according to the polarity
markings. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Within a short time the RF signal icon
flashing. This indicates that the base station is ready to pick up the RF outdoor temperature signal from the remote
sensor. It will continue to flash for 3 minutes or until the signal from the remote sensor is detected.

Register the Remote Sensor


Open the battery compartment at the back of the remote sensor and slide the channel selector switch to your desired
channel. For the first remote you may select any channel, for additional remotes select any unused channel

Insert (2) AAA batteries according to the polarity markings. Be sure to install the batteries in the remote within the
time that the RF signal icon

Press the °C/°F button inside the remote sensor battery compartment to display the temperature in °C or °F

Replace the battery compartment cover

Press the UP/C/F button at the back of the base station to display the temperature in °C or °F

If you have registered more than one sensor, press CHANNEL to select the remote channel you want displayed
permanently on the base station. Or press CHANNEL until you observe a circular arrow on the base station LCD
display under the channel number. The unit will then auto-scroll, continually changing from channel to channel.

Occasionally you may experience interference on a particular channel. If your base station has trouble picking up the
RF outdoor temperature signal, remove the batteries from the remote sensor, slide the channel selector switch to
another channel and re-install the batteries.
Note: The TX button inside the remote sensor battery compartment is for factory testing. You will not need to use it.
Register a Remote Sensor When the RF Signal Icon is not Showing

Press and hold the CHANNEL button for 3-4 seconds until the RF signal icon is showing

Install the batteries in the new remote sensor or remove and re-install them if they have already been installed

Locating the Base Station and Remote Sensor


Choose a suitable place for the base station and remote outdoor sensor, within the transmission distance

Place the base unit near a window, but away from direct sunlight or sources of heat or air conditioning to ensure
accurate temperature readings. The remote sensor is water resistant, but not waterproof. Locate the sensor out of
direct sunlight, in an area where it will not be exposed to rain, snow or ice

The location you choose is critical for maximizing the transmission range. The remote sensor is designed to transmit
up to 100 ft. unimpeded. Although the RF signal may travel through solid surfaces or objects, transmitting through
(located to the left of the outdoor temperature channel indicator) will start
is flashing on the base station.
