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. If you pres s
the CH ke y it will d isable the r egist ration mod e and go to r adio contr olled c lock recep tion mo de.
Remote Sensor Set Up:
Remov e the bra cket stand a nd remo ve the 4 screw s with a sm all Philip s head sc rewdrive r. Insert
2 "AAA" a lkali ne or lithiu m batte ries (not in clude d) accordi ng to the p olarity in dicat ed. Set
Chann el 1 for th e first remo te sens or. 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 . For b est recept ion, pl ease insta ll the ho me receive r near a
windo w. The time sig nal rec eption is al so grea tly affect ed by ele ctrical or e lectr onic inter feren ce.
If the ho me rece iver locat ion you s elected do es not wo rk, change t o a locat ion in anoth er part o f
the roo m or buil ding.
