TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The sensor uses 2 x AA,1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1.Remove the cover.

2.Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment).

3.Replace the battery cover on the unit.

Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using rechargeable batteries.

SETTING UP:

Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using rechargeable batteries.

NOTE: Do not set the clock until the outdoor temperature is displayed.

1.Place batteries in the outdoor sensor first, then into the atomic clock. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.

2.Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature, date, weekday, and the time, as 12:00, will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step.

3.After the batteries are inserted, the atomic clock will start receiving data signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the atomic clock. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1 and the signal reception icon is no longer shown.

Note:

In the event of changing batteries in the unit, ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at least 10 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur.
