INSTALLING THE MONITOR

Selecting a Location

You should set the monitor indoors on a flat surface (such as a desk or counter), or mount it on an indoor wall within 6 feet of where your PC is located and near an AC outlet.

Caution: To avoid false indoor temperature and humidity readings, do not place the monitor where it will be:

•outdoors

•in direct or reflected sunlight

•on or close to a surface that easily absorbs or reflects heat (such as a win- dow or metal surface)

•near hot or cold sources, such as stoves, heating and air conditioning vents, and radiators

•near electronic equipment that could interfere with it

•in water or in a location where it can get wet

Installing Batteries

Your monitor requires four AA batteries (not supplied) for backup power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries, differ- ent types of batteries (standard, alka- line, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

Notes:

•The monitor can operate on fresh batter- ies for up to 1 week without AC power.

•The monitor might display inaccurate data if it is using backup battery power and battery power becomes low.

1.Press the tab on the battery compart- ment cover down and lift the cover up to remove it.

2.Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3.Use a pointed object such as a straight- ened paper clip to press the RESET hole inside the battery compartment. This ini- tializes the monitor’s transmitter.

4.Replace the cover.

All display segments briefly appear. Then the air pressure, indoor temperature, and humidity readings appear.
