Before You Begin

4.0 Set up procedure:

1.Insert batteries into the monitor first and then press the RESET button once.

2.Place the monitor as close as possible next to the remote sensor and insert the batteries into the remote sensor and press the RESET button.

3.Position the monitor and remote sensor within effective transmission range, which in usual circumstances is 30 to 45 meters. The range is affected by the building materials and where the monitor and remote sensor are positioned; try various locations for the best results.

Note: The remote sensor should be placed in a shaded area for accurate readings.

4.1 Getting Started

Once the remote sensor has been powered up (or the RESET button has been pressed), the transmission signal is immediately sent to the monitor. The monitor will attempt to search for the signal for 5 minutes.

Once the signal is received, the dashes (--.-°F) on the monitor will change to the current outdoor temperature. If after 5 minutes the screen does not change to show the outdoor temperature, press the RE-SYNC button on the monitor. The monitor will now attempt to search for the signal for another 6 minutes.

5.0 Troubleshooting

Press the RESET button at any time your display shows dashes (--.-°F) and/or to ensure that the remote sensor is in direct line to the monitor.

If the outdoor temperature cannot be received, check:

1.The distance between the monitor or remote sensor should be at least 0.9 to 1.2 meters away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.

2.Avoid placing the monitor onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.

3.Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on

the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.

4.Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause interference.

5.Signals from other household devices, such as door bells and home security systems, may temporarily interfere with the units and cause reception failure. The transmission and reception of temperature reading will resume once the interference has stopped.

The maximum transmission range is 45 meters from the remote sensor to the monitor (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. The temperature signal travels in a straight line from the remote sensor to the monitor. The signal will not curve around an object. If no reception is possible, despite the observation of these factors, all units will have to be reset.

Note: To reset unit please see Set up Procedure. (See section 1.0).
