SETUP
Battery Choice & Temperature Range
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. NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not
recommended due to higher operating voltages.
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 battteries from equipment which is not to be
used for an extended perid 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 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.
Install Batteries
NOTE : Install all batteries in both units within a 6 minute period to
ensure proper wireless functionality. Always install batteries into the
wireless sensor FIRST.
A. Wireless Sensor

USE
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 be
complete. The wireless sensor signal icon on the display will show 1 to 4
“bars” when the signal is received. If both or one of the units appears to be
functioning improperly, refer to the troubleshooting section in this manual.
Main Unit : Clock Set
After installing batteries into the Wireless Sensor and into the Main Unit,
the clock can be set.

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 165 feet away 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, computers, etc. ) or objects that may interfere with the wireless communication ( large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. )
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. Alternatively, you may 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.
The wireless sensor must be placed less than
165 feet from the main unit.
The wireless sensor is water-
resistant and is designed for general 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.
There are 2 placement options for the wireless sensor. You may hang it on a wall using one of the two integrated hang holes, or use string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location like a well-covered tree branch.
