SETUP

Repeater Setup
Install or Replace Batteries
AcuRite recommends high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries in the repeater for the best product performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
The repeater requires lithium batteries in low-temperature conditions. Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. Use lithium batteries in the repeater for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.

1. Slide off the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert 6 x AA batteries into the battery compartment, as shown.
   Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover.

NOTE: When batteries need to be changed, replace the upper 3 batteries before replacing the lower 3 batteries to avoid interrupting signal transmission.

PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
BATTERY SAFETY:  Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove batteries from equipment that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries from the device. Dispose of used batteries properly. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT incinerate used batteries. DO NOT dispose of batteries in free, as batteries may explode or leak. DO NOT mix old and new batteries or types of batteries (alkaline/standard). DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. DO NOT recharge non-rechargeable batteries. DO NOT short-circuit the supply terminals.

Search for Available Sensors
Once the repeater is powered on (switches turned to ON in the battery compartment), it will begin searching for sensors transmitting the corresponding ID for 5-10 minutes. If  you wish to connect a sensor after the initial 5-10 minute search, press and release the “Search” button in the battery compartment to manually search for sensors within range.
Connecting one sensor

1. Relocate the sensor near the repeater and take note of the A-B-C channel.
   All compatible sensors have an A-B-C channel, except monitors (models 00275 and 00276) which use channel ID “P” on the repeater.

2. Turn ON the corresponding channel ID switch for this sensor in the battery compartment of the repeater.

3.  Wait for the channel’s LED indicator to flash, confirming that the sensor is connected and is transmitting the sensor’s signal.

Connecting multiple sensors

1.  Of your available sensors, determine which ones need their wireless signal repeated. Relocate those sensors near the repeater. Take note of the A-B-C channels. All compatible sensors have an A-B-C channel, except monitors (models 00275 and 00276) which use channel ID “P” on the repeater.
2. Turn ON the corresponding channel ID switches for these sensors in the battery compartment of the repeater.
3.  Wait for the LED indicator to flash for each active repeater, confirming that the sensors are connected and are transmitting the sensor’s signal.
   If the repeater has connected to more than one sensor with the same channel
   ID, the LED indicates how many sensors with that channel ID are being repeated:
   • One flash: Indicates that one sensor was repeated.
   • Two flashes: Indicates that the second of two sensors was repeated.
   • Three flashes Indicate that the third of three sensors was repeated.

NOTE : You may connect up to 3 sensors per channel ID, however for best results, use separate A-B-C channel IDs for sensors that include this setting. Refer to the corresponding sensor manual for instructions on setting the A-B-C channel.

Placement for Maximum Range
Proper placement of the repeater is critical to the performance of this product. Several factors may limit the sensor’s ability to communicate with companion products. The  sensor’s wireless signal may be limited by obstructions such as buildings, roofs, natural landscapes or other objects that break the sensor’s “line-of-sight.” Refer to the suggested placement options of the repeater below to maximize wireless communication.
Suggested Placement
Position the repeater within 330 feet (100 m) of both the sensor and companion unit. The repeater should be placed where it has a clear, unobstructed line- of-sight from the sensor(s) to the companion unit.

TIP: Additional repeaters (sold separately) may be used to extend the wireless signal range.

Important Placement Guidelines

The repeater is water-resistant and is designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its life place the repeater in an area protected from direct weather elements.
Hang the repeater using the integrated hang hole or hanger, or by using string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location.

• The repeater must be within 330 ft (100 m) of companion units (sold separately).
• To maximize wireless range, place repeater away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
• To prevent wireless interference, place the repeater at least 3 ft (0.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

companion product’s wireless signal indicator shows poor reception, it may be an indication that it is still connecting directly to the sensor, instead of the
repeater.
1. Power down the companion product (unplug the power adapter, remove batteries).
2. Confirm that the sensor is connected to the repeater.
The repeater’s active channel ID will flash, indicating that the sensor’s data is being transmitted.
3. Relocate the sensor to its original location.
4. Place the repeater according to suggested placement (see page 4).
5. Power on the companion product.
Available sensor not connecting to the repeater| If the LED indicator does not flash:
• Relocate the repeater and/or Monitor/Sensor. The products must be within 330 ft (100 m)  of each other.
• Make sure products (Repeater, display, Monitors, Sensors) are placed at least 3 feet (.9 m)  away from electronics that may interfere with the wireless communication (such as TVs,  microwaves, computers, etc).
• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in Repeater, Monitors and Sensors when the temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries.
NOTE: It may take a few minutes for the repeater and sensors to synchronize after batteries are replaced.
