OVERVIEW OF FEATURES
SETUP
Install Batteries
NOTE: Install all batteries in both units within a 6 minute period to ensure
proper wireless functionality.
A. Wireless Sensor
- Remove the 4 battery compartment screws.
- Remove the battery compartment cover and install 2 fresh “AA” batteries as shown here.
Always install batteries into the wireless sensor FIRST to ensure proper
wireless synchronization with the main unit.
B. Main Unit
Remove the battery compartment cover and install 3 fresh “AA” batteries as
shown here.
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 CCORDANCE 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 0 c or °F.
To select either 0 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 appear 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.
Placement of Main Unit
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.
There are 2 placement options for the main unit. You may hang the main unit on
a wall using the integrated hang hole on the back.
Alternatively, you may use the detachable “tablet stand” to place the main
unit on a tabletop or other flat surface.
Placement of Sensor
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.
Main Unit Detachable Stand
Included with the main unit is a detachable stand for table top placement.
Wireless Sensor Reception
The main unit has a wireless signal reception icon in the upper 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 accurate temperature and humidity readings if properly set up and placed.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|
Bad Reception
no bars| Relocate the main unit and/or the wireless sensor. Both units must be
within 100 feet from 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 or
Humidity 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
is 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.
