Wireless Outdoor Sensor

The Wireless Outdoor Sensor sends temperature data to your Wireless Display, accurate to within a tenth of one degree.

The Outdoor Temperature Sensor uses 2 x “AA”, Alkaline batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the sensor.

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

3. Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit.

Press the “+” Key on your Wireless Display to show the outdoor temperature at any time. The outdoor temperature will scroll on the bottom of the LCD.

Because the “+” key is used to toggle between time, date and temperature, when you press the “+” key to view the outdoor temperature, you also switch to the next view mode on the top segment of the LCD. Simply press the “+” key until you are also viewing the desired mode: time, date or temperature.
