INITIAL SETUP

NOTE: The main unit is intended for indoor use only. Choose a dry location away from dust, dirt, mold, smoke and avoid temperature extremes. Do not drop the clock. It is a sensitive electronic device and not designed to withstand high impact blows of any kind

Install 2 “AA” batteries into the main unit FIRST. The clock immediately displays the correct time for the eastern (U.S.) time zone. Next, Install 2 “AA” batteries (lithium is recommended for areas where the temperature may fall below -4ºF) into the wireless sensor.

**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 for wireless sensors placed outdoors.

MANUAL TIME ADJUST SEQUENCE: hour, minute, year, month, date

Internal Batteries: (2 x L1142)
We suggest replacement of the internal batteries every five years if the clock has been in continuous use over that time. However, if the clock has not been plugged in and powered for long  periods of time, we recommend replacing the internal batteries more frequently –o nce a year.

NOTE: the internal batteries provide power for the internal calendar. The internal batteries will NOT power the alarm functions in the event of a power outage.

Changing the internal Batteries:
NOTE: You have less than one minute after the old internal batteries are removed to install fresh batteries. The clock needs constant power so the internal calendar memory (self-setting clock feature) will function properly.

To change the backup batteries:

1. Slide the battery compartment cover off and remove the 2 “AA” batteries.
2. Remove the small screw that keeps the Internal battery compartment cover in place.
3. Remove the compartment cover to access the batteries.
4. Take note of how the batteries are positioned, and remove the old batteries.
5. Replace the two “L1142” button cell batteries with fresh ones, and replace the cover.

Press the “C/F” button to select either Fahrenheit or Celsius mode for the small display on the wireless sensor.

Reset Button:
Press the reset button to reset the wireless sensor.

MULTIPLE WIRELESS SENSORS

The main unit supports up to three wireless sensors. Each additional wireless sensor must be designated a different channel number. Assigning different channel numbers differentiate each sensors temperature readings for the main units’ display. This is done automatically by the main unit and companion.

TO ADD A SECOND (or THIRD) WIRELESS SENSOR:
To add 2nd or 3rd remote sensor, either re-insert batteries in the main unit, or hold “+” and “-” buttons together for 3 seconds to enter wireless sensor search mode. Then turn on wireless sensor(s) one by one (up to 3 total). Press “CH/SET” button to switch between channels 1,2,3.
