MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Table Top For the home receiver, fold the base down and into the back of the unit. For the remote sensor, simply pull out the integrated stand from the bottom. Wall Mount For the remote sensor - Set a screw into the desired hanging location and mount. For Home Receiver Pull base out and fold up onto mounting pegs. (Base will snap into place). Set a screw into the wall and mount. MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS • Extreme temperatures, shock or areas of unusual vibration should be avoided to prevent damage to the units. • Clean the units using only a soft, damp cloth to wipe. Do not use solvents, abrasives, detergents or other strong cleaning agents. After cleaning, wipe surfaces with a dry cloth. • Do not submerge units in water or other liquids. • Do not subject the units to extremely severe temperatures - DO NOT PLACE UNITS INTO OVENS, FREEZERS or MICROWAVE OVENS. 6 NOTES • Opening the housing of either the remote sensor or the home receiver will invalidate your warranty. Do not attempt to repair this unit. There are no consumer serviceable parts. • If you encounter any difficulties in setting up your wireless thermometer system, please contact Consumer Relations. • Your new RF Thermometer is built with random security code technology. The home receiver will learn the random code of the first remote sensor and log it in as channel 1. Channel 2 and Channel 3 will be registered in the same way if additional sensors are used. The home receiver can monitor up to 3 separate sensors. • Once a channel is registered, it will not accept any new sensors. However, registered channels can be erased by removing the batteries in the remote sensor or the home unit. • When replacing batteries for the remote sensor - Remember to clear the corresponding channel of the home receiver by removing the batteries or select the respective channel of the sensor by pressing the CHANNEL button on the home receiver. Hold the CHANNEL button for 3 seconds to clear the registration. • When replacing batteries for the home receiver - Please remove the batteries of all remote sensors. Once you have replaced the home receiver batteries, re-install the batteries to the sensors according to the desired channel sequence. This will ensure that the home receiver and the remote sensors are properly synchronized. • Press the Tx button on the back of remote sensor to verify the RF reception. • It is recommended to test the home receiver and the remote sensor next to each other to ensure that both are properly synchronized. • Keep the remote sensor out of direct sunlight and rain. Do not mount on a metal surface. About the Atomic Clock The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado broadcasts the time signal (WWVB at 60kHz AM radio signal) with an accuracy of 1 second per every 3,000 years. The signal will cover a distance up to 2,000 miles from the source. Like a typical AM radio, your Atomic Clock will not able to receive the WWVB signal in places surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. The reception of the time 7
