GETTING STARTED After batteries are installed; remote sensor will transmit temperature data at 45 second intervals. The main unit may take up to two minutes to receive the initial readings. Upon successful reception, remote temperature will appear on the top line of the main unit's display (the default remote channel is channel one). The main unit will automatically update readings at 45-second intervals. After communication between the main unit and remote sensor has been established, secure the remote sensor in the desired location. If no signal is received from the remote sensor within two minutes, dashes [- - -] will be displayed. Press and hold the DOWN (? ) button on the main unit for two seconds to initiate another signal search. REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURE The remote temperature information line is located on the top line of the main unit's display. The wave icon is located above the remote channel number indicates the reception status from the corresponding remote sensor. There are three following types of the reception status may be displayed: The unit is in a searching mode. Temperature reading is securely registered. No signals detected. The indoor temperature with the icon IN is located below the remote temperature information line. NOTE: If the indoor or remote temperature goes above or below operating range stated in specifications, the main unit's display ( weather) will show dashes "- - -" on the corresponding line. MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM READINGS The maximum and minimum record of the indoor and remote temperature will be automatically stored in the memory of the main unit (receiver). To display the minimum, maximum or the current reading press MEM button. If no button is pressed for the next 15 seconds, the unit will return to the current temperature and humidity display. To clear the memory, press and hold MEM button for two seconds and all previously stored readings will be erased. LOST COMMUNICATION If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading goes blank, press and hold DOWN (? ) button for 2 seconds to begin a new signal search. If the signal still isn't received, please make sure that: • The remote sensor is in its proper location. • The distance between main unit and remote sensor(s) is not over 160 feet (50 meters) • The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the distance if necessary. • Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor and main unit. 7
