LOW BATTERY WARNING
A
GETTING STARTED
After batteries are installed, remote sensors will transmit temperature readings at 45 second intervals. The main unit may take up to 2 (two) minutes to receive the initial readings. Upon successful reception, remote temperature will be displayed. Then the main unit will automatically update readings at
If no signals are received from the remote sensor(s) within
(2) two minutes, dashes “ ” will be displayed.
Press and hold [ ] button on the main unit for 2 seconds to initiate another signal search.
CHECKING REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURES
The wave icon on the main unit's display located near the remote sensor reading line, indicates a good reception from the remote sensor. If the temperature goes above or below the temperature operating range stated in specifications, the display will show dashes “ ”.
READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the main unit (receiver) signal reception strength.

The unit is in searching mode.
Temperature readings are securely registered.

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station is located in Ft. Collins Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal continuously throughout the continental United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Atomic Clock can receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station that receives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the main unit’s display will flash indicating radio signal reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time is not set automatically, please consider the following:
*During
A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the accuracy reading within 1 second.
*Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet minimum distance from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc. The successful reception of the atomic time signal depends on the positioning and location of the clock. Always place the main unit by the window for better reception.
*Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always place the unit near the window.
