Care of the Device
- Avoid exposing units to extreme temperatures or severe shock.
- Avoid contact with any corrosive materials such as perfume, alcohol or cleaning agents.
- 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 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 mix standard and rechargeable batteries.
- Do not mix new and old batteries.
- When the low battery symbol appears on the display replace all batteries with new ones.
Setup Procedure
-
Insert batteries into the monitor first.
-
Using a screwdriver (not included) remove the screws on the back of the sensor to open the battery compartment.
-
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.
-
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. -
Position the monitor and remote sensor within effective transmission range, which in usual circumstances is 30 meters (100 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: The remote sensor should be placed in a shaded area for accurate
readings.
Troubleshooting
If the outdoor temperature cannot be received, check:
- 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.
- Avoid placing the monitor onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
- Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
- Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause interference.
- Signals from other household devices, such as doorbells 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 30 meters (100 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.
Installing the Monitor
The monitor can be placed on any flat surface or mounted on a wall.
IMPORTANT: 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 away from direct
sunlight, air conditioning, and heater vents. The remote sensor is designed to
be splashproof; never immersed in water or exposed to heavy rain.
Maximum and Minimum Memory
- Press the MAX/MIN button once to display the minimum readings. Press the MAX/MIN button again to display the maximum readings.
- 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.
