• Avoid exposing units to extreme temperatures or severe shock.

• Avoid contact with any corrosive materials such as perfume, alcohol or cleaning agents.

• Do not
  Do not subject the units to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity. Any of these conditions may shorten the life of the units.

• Do not
  Do not tamper with any of the internal components of these units. This will invalidate the warranty and may cause damage.

Correct Usage of Batteries

• Do not
  Do not mix standard and rechargeable batteries.

• Do not
  Do not mix new and old batteries.

• When the low battery symbol appears on the display replace all batteries with new ones.

Setup Procedure

1. Insert batteries into the monitor first.

2. Using a screwdriver (not included) remove the screws on the back of the sensor to open the battery compartment.

3. Place the monitor as close as possible next to the remote sensor. Before inserting the batteries into the sensor ensure the correct channel is selected, then insert the batteries into the remote sensor.

4. The remote sensor will send a signal to the monitor. Once the signal is received, the dashes (‐‐.‐°F) on the monitor will change to the current outdoor temperature.
   NOTE: If after 5 minutes the screen does not change to show the outdoor temperature, remove all batteries for both units and insert again, starting with the monitor.

5. Position  the  monitor  and  remote  sensor  within  effective  transmission  range,  which  in  usual circumstances is 25 meters (82 feet). The range is affected by the building materials and where the monitor and remote sensor are positioned; try various locations for the best results.
   NOTE:
   NOTE: The remote sensor should be placed outdoors in a shaded area for accurate readings.

Troubleshooting

If the outdoor temperature cannot be received, check:

1. The distance between the monitor or remote sensor should be at least 1.2 meters (4 feet) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid placing the monitor onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
3. Using  other  electrical  products  such  as  headphones  or  speakers  operating  on  the  same frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause interference.
5. Signals  from  other  household  devices,  such  as  door  bells  and  home  security  systems,  may temporarily interfere with the units and cause reception failure. The transmission and reception of temperature reading will resume once the interference has stopped.
   The maximum transmission range is 25 meters (82 feet) from the remote sensor to the monitor (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. The temperature signal travels in a straight line from the remote sensor to the monitor. The signal will not curve around an object. If no reception is possible, despite the observation of these factors, all units will have to be reset.

Displaying Different Channels

If  you  have  registered  more  than  one  remote  sensor,  press  the  CH button  on  the  monitor  to  select the outdoor sensor channel you want to display permanently. To display each channel for 5 to 10 seconds on the monitor, press the CH button until is displayed on the LCD.
The monitor will auto‐scroll through all the channels.
Press and hold the CH button if the outdoor temperature needs to be reset.
The outdoor temperature of that particular channel will reset and display dashes (‐‐.‐°C).
Press the TX button on the back of the sensor to force the sensor to send a transmission to the monitor, and then the current temperature should once again be displayed on the monitor.

INSTALLATION

Installing the Monitor

The monitor can be placed on any flat surface or mounted on a wall.
IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT: Do not
Do not place the monitor in direct sunlight or where exposed to any other sources of heat or air conditioning to ensure accurate temperature readings.

Installing the Remote Sensor

To prevent temperature interference, place the remote sensor outside away from direct sunlight, and rain. The remote sensor is designed to be splash proof; never immerse into water or expose to heavy rain.

Maximum and Minimum Memory

1. Press the MAX/MIN button once to display the minimum readings. Press the MAX/MIN button again to display the maximum readings.
2. To clear the memory, press and hold the MAX/MIN button when the max or min readings are displayed. This will reset the memory to the current temperature readings being displayed on the monitor.

°C/°F Switchable
The  default  measurement  for  temperature  is  °F,  press  the°C/°F  button to  toggle  between  °C  and °F.
