Before You Begin

• We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote
sensor and main units when the temperatures are above
0 ˚C (32 ˚F). We recommend using lithium batteries for
the remote sensor when the temperatures are below
0 ˚C (32 ˚F).
• 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 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 60 meters (200 feet).
• The remote sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors,
depending on the area where the temperature is
intended to be measured. If you intend to measure
outdoor conditions place the remote sensor outdoors.
• The main unit must always be placed indoors.
NOTE:
1. Avoid pressing any buttons on the main unit before the
remote reading are 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 optimal location for the remote sensor outdoors is
under the eaves on the north side of the building.
