STEP ONE: SETTING UP THE WIRELESS THERMOMETER

Home Receiver Set Up:

For the init ial ins tallatio n, alwa ys insert ba tteri es to the home u nit fir st and then th e remot e senso r. Remove the batt ery cover on the back a nd install 2 "AA alka line or lithium bat teries" (not inclu ded) ac cording to t he pola rity indic ated. R eplace the b atter y cover. Th e home unit will star t to sear ch for a se nsor trans mitti ng outdoor t emper ature & humi dity in formatio n durin g the first 5 minut es afte r entering t he exis ting weath er cond ition. To enter t he existing weath er conditions selec t the cor rect weath er cond ition by pre ssing " MIN/MAX" a nd pres s "CLEAR" to e nter. The home un it will t ry to seek for a r emote s ensor afte r the wea ther condi tions a re entered . The out door te mperatur e and hum idity sect ion wil l flash duri ng chan nel regist ratio n.

You mu st set to Ch 1 if on ly one se nsor is in use . One senso r is incl uded with th e base un it. Additi onal se nsors may be p urcha sed separa tely. Set chann el 2 if usi ng a second se nsor or c hannel 3 if us ing a thi rd sensor.

• To verify t ransmiss ion of a si gnal press t he TX but ton inside t he batt ery compar tment o f the remot e senso r. The red LE D on the front of the rem ote sensor will fla sh when it successf ully trans mits a si gnal. Temper ature and hu midit y of the remot e senso r will be upda ted and displ ayed on t he remote se nsor.

• Selec t Celsi us or Fahrenhei t by pres sing the C/F b utton i nside the ba ttery c ompartme nt.

• Repla ce the co ver and tigh ten the 4 s crews.

• When re placi ng the batte ries in t he remote se nsor re member to cl ear the c orrespon ding chann el on the home receiv er unit i n this way: Se lect the respecti ve chan nel by press ing the CH butt on, hol d the CH butto n 3 secon ds to clear th e chann el.

Placement of Remote S ensor :

Place t he remo te sensor ou t of dire ct sunligh t and dir ect exposu re to rai n or snow. At ext remely low tem perat ures, belo w 15F, battery volta ge output decreas es. The low tempera tures may cause y our out door tempe ratur e reading to g o blank . Using lith ium bat teries can i ncrea se the effec tive te mperatur e range a s they funct ion at lo wer temper ature s than alkal ine bat teries. For prolo nged pe riods of ext reme co ld we recomm end the r emote sens or be bro ught indoo rs. Met al struc tures , walls and el ectri cal interf erenc e can shorte n the tra nsmissio n range o f the remote senso r. Please try seve ral locations to de termine the best re ception of the sign al by the home unit.

STEP TWO: SETTING THE ATOMIC CLOC K

About The Atomic Clock:

The Nat ional I nstitute o f Stand ard and Techno logy (NIST ) in Fo rt Coll ins, Color ado bro adcasts the tim e signa l (WWVB at 60k Hz AM rad io signal) w ith an ac curacy of on e secon d per every 3,000 y ears. T he signal co vers a di stance up to 2 ,000 mi les from the s ource .

Selecting the Ideal Locati on: Like a ty pical A M radio, the A tomic C lock will no t recei ve the WWVB si gnal in p laces surr ounde d by heav y concr ete or metal p anels .
