1.Install the batteries in the Freezer Mate. Within one minute, the Freezer Mate should start receiving signals from your freezer. A steady On signal icon and the current freezer temperature will display. The temperature will be same as that displayed on the freezer control panel. Once the Signal icon and temperature are displayed, the Freezer Mate setup is complete.

4.Stand close to your freezer. Press the C/F button on the back of the Freezer Mate to release the current pairing. Freezer Mate should automatically connect with your freezer.
5.If you continue to have problems pairing with your freezer, remove and reinstall the Freezer Mate batteries and repeat the above two steps
SELECTING A LOCATION
Choose locations for the Freezer and Freezer Mate within 70 to 100 feet of each other. For example, place your freezer in the garage or basement and the Freezer Mate in the kitchen. The construction of the building might affect the transmission range. Try not to have a concrete or metal structure in the direct path of the freezer and Freezer Mate. Since the location of the freezer is somewhat stationary, please try several locations for the Freezer Mate to determine the best location. If the communication link is lost, the signal icon will blink within 3 minutes.
MODE OF OPERATION
Temperature display can be changed from ºF to ºC to ºF by pressing the C/F button located on the back of the Freezer Mate. Use a pointy object such as tooth pick or a paper clip to activate the button.
