QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.

1.Have the temperature clock and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5 apart.

2.Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.

3.Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the temperature clock.

(All remote temperature sensors must be started before the temperature clock)

4.DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.

In this time the temperature clock and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each other and

I) BATTERY INSTALLATION

Note: To avoid start-up problems make sure that the batteries do not spring free.

A)REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

1) Remove the battery cover.

the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2, 000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Temperature Alarm. However, due to the nature of the Earth's Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Temperature Alarm will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum.

the temperature clock will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the temperature clock does not display both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can place your remote temperature sensor outdoors and set your time.

The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote temperature sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.

2)Observing the correct polarity, install 2 AA batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure that they do not spring free during installation).

3)Replace the battery cover.
