Operating Range of Batteries
Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4°F / -20°C ) can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low-temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless sensors placed outdoors.
PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
BATTERY SAFETY: 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 fire, 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.
Select Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F)

The main unit is capable of displaying the indoor and outdoor temperature readings in either °C or °F. To select either °C or °F, slide the switch located within the battery compartment to the desired measurement unit.
Close Battery Compartment Covers
After you have installed fresh batteries and have selected °C or °F. you may now close the battery compartment covers on both the main unit and the wireless sensor.
Basic Setup is Now Complete
The wireless sensor will soon send a signal to the main unit and the two units will be synchronized. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appears to be functioning improperly, refer to the troubleshooting section in this manual.

PLACEMENT

Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the wireless sensor and the main unit. The wireless sensor MUST be placed less than 100 feet from the main unit.
This wireless thermometer uses radiofrequency for communication, which is susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc.) or objects ( large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc.) that may interfere with the wireless communication.

Place the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure an accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the main unit out of direct sunlight, and away from any heat sources or vents in your home.
To clean the main unit case and screen, periodically wipe clean with a damp cloth.

The wireless sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe outdoor temperatures and relay the outdoor temperature to the main unit display. The wireless sensor must be placed less than 100 feet from the main unit.
The wireless sensor is water-resistant and is designed for outdoor use. However, to extend the life of the product, place the wireless sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements. To ensure an accurate outdoor temperature measurement, be sure the wireless sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources.
Use the integrated hang hole on the back of the wireless sensor to hang the sensor on a wall or other vertical surfaces outdoors.

Wireless Sensor Reception
The main unit has a wireless signal reception icon on the left of the outdoor temperature display. If there are a low number of -bars” present, you may experience inaccuracy or no temperature display ( —- I. In this case, you may need to relocate one or both of the units. If most or all 4 of the bars are present, wireless reception is good and no action is required.

OPERATION

After the main unit and the wireless sensor are both powered on and wirelessly synchronized, no further input is required. The thermometer should provide an accurate temperature if properly set up and placed.

A• 14 Day Learning Mode
This weather thermometer has a patent-pending fourteen-day learning mode calibration process. During this learning mode, the weather station will make altitude calculations that may affect the accuracy of the forecast. Once the 14-day learning mode process is complete. the learning mode icon will disappear and the weather forecast should be ready for superior operation.
B• Forecast Icon
This feature gives you the predicted weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours based on an advanced algorithm that includes barometric pressure and temperature. This weather thermometer will provide the most accurate forecast that a single station weather instrument can provide.
C• Daily High/Low
This feature gives you the recently recorded highest & lowest outdoor temperatures.
Batteries should last approximately one year under normal conditions.
When the batteries need replacement, follow the battery installation procedure outlined in this manual exactly to ensure proper operation.

Troubleshooting

Problem|

Possible Solution

---|---

Bad Reception

| Relocate the main unit and/or the wireless sensor. Both units must be within 100 feet of each other. Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet from other electronic appliances and devices that may interfere with the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).
No Outdoor
Temperature Display (no communication)| If wireless reception is bad (no bars), see Bad Reception’ section above. If reception is O.K. or GOOD (some bars) and there are still no outdoor readings displayed. the batteries in the wireless sensor may need to be replaced. The wireless ID setting on each unit must match for both units to communicate properly. See “Set Wireless ID.–
Main Unit
Display Not Working| Make certain that the batteries are installed correctly. The batteries may need replacing.

Set Wireless ID
This wireless thermometer uses a long-range 433mhz radio frequency for communication.
In the event that you have reception problems due to interference, both the main unit and the wireless sensor have a selectable wireless ID. The ID switches are located within the battery compartments of the main unit and the wireless sensor.
You may choose A, B, or C; but both the main units’ and the wireless sensors’ IDs must match for successful synchronization.
