INSTALLATION & SET UP
Operating Range of Batteries
Severe cold (below -4º F/-20º C) can cause alkaline batteries to freeze and function improperly. Use lithium batteries in extremely low-temperature conditions to ensure continued operation.
Main Unit
The Main unit is intended for indoor use only. When deciding where to put the
main unit, choose a dry location away from dust, dirt, mold, and smoke, and
avoid temperature extremes. Do not drop the main unit. It is a sensitive
electronic device and is not designed to withstand high-impact blows.
NOTE: Install batteries in the MAIN UNIT before putting batteries in the
wireless sensor.
Main Unit Batteries: On the back of the unit, remove the battery
compartment cover.
Insert 2 AA alkaline (or lithium) batteries making sure they are installed
according to the correct polarity (+/-). Replace the cover.
Wireless Sensor
This water-resistant wireless sensor is intended for outdoor use. When
deciding where to place the sensor, make sure it will be protected from direct
sunlight and from precipitation. Do not drop the remote sensor. It is
sensitive, and not designed to withstand high-impact blows.
Wireless Sensor Batteries: On the back of the wireless sensor unit,
remove the battery compartment cover. Insert 2 AAA alkaline (or lithium)
batteries making sure they are installed according to the correct polarity
(+/-). Replace the cover. You may need to wait a few minutes after batteries
are installed for the units to communicate with each other. When they do, both
the indoor and outdoor temperatures will be shown on the main unit LCD
display. If nothing is displayed, refer to section 4 of this manual for
troubleshooting.
NOTE: The sensor’s LED flashes momentarily whenever it sends information
– about once each minute.
Placement & Mounting
Choose a location for each unit that is at least 10 feet away from other
electronic devices that may interfere with the wireless signal.
USING the MAIN UNIT FEATURES

(MAX or MIN) is displayed.
Temperature Alert
NOTE: This feature is available for the wireless sensor temperature
display. When the alert feature is on, and a preset alert temperature is
reached, an alert is signaled. This signal can be heard and seen. It consists
of three short beeps while the main unit displays the temperature and the
upper/lower icons are flashing. To stop the alarm – press any button. The
temperature will continue to flash until it changes (from either the higher or
lower temperature alerts that were set).
To set minimum and maximum temperature alerts:
- Press the ALERT button once to turn on the feature. You will see the upper/lower icon flashing at the top of the main unit display.
