Page 7: Refrigerator/Freezer Mounting
3.1 Refrigerator/Freezer Mounting Each sensor includes a detachable suction cup that may be used to secure the remote sensor to the interior or exterior surface of the refrigerator/freezer, as shown in Figure 6. For better reception, we recommended installing the sensor to the outside of the refrigerator/freezer. If the refrigerator/freezer is a metal box, the wireless signal cannot escape, and the sensors must be placed on the outside. -
Page 8: Wall Mounting
Figure 7 Note: Both sensors have the capability of being placed inside or outside the refrigerator/freezer, but it is recommended you install it outside. This will extend the battery life, the sensor life, and improve wireless communication range. Note: Make sure that the refrigerator surface is smooth and clean, so that suction cups will not fall off. -

We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication. 1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer monitors and TVs. -
Page 12: Glossary Of Terms
To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid) thermometer. Bi-metal (dial) and other digital thermometers are not a good source and have their own margin of error. Using a local weather station in your area is also a poor source due to changes in location, timing (airport weather stations are only updated once per hour) and possible calibration errors (many official weather stations are not properly installed and calibrated). - Page 13 Problem Solution Wireless remote (probe thermometer) not If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) reporting in to console. will be displayed on the screen.
