SETTING UP YOUR WIRELESS THERMOMETER / CLOCK

• For the first installation, always insert batteries into the home unit first and then the remote
sensor. Your new RF Thermometer is build with random security code technology; the home unit
will learn the random code of the first remote sensor and log in as Channel 1. Channel 2 and
Channel 3 will be registered in the same way.

• Battery Installation

Home Receiver:

Lift off the battery cover at the back, install 2 AA batteries according to the polarity indicated and
close the battery cover.

Remote Sensor:

This remote comes with a bracket stand that clips onto the back of the unit. This needs to be
removed. Once the bracket stand is removed you will see a square-shaped panel with four
screws (one in each corner). Remove the 4 screws. Remove this cover and underneath is
the battery compartment and the TX and C/F (Celsius / Fahrenheit) setup buttons. Insert 2
AAA batteries according to the polarity indicated. To register the remote and to verify the RF
reception to the home unit press the “TX” button a hold for three seconds. To read the remote in
Fahrenheit press the “C/F” at this time. Replace the cover and tighten the four screws.

Note: The “TX” and the “C/F” are hidden inside the protective backing to ensure weather
resistance of this unit that is intended for the outdoors.

The remote sensors are not “waterproof” meaning able to submerse, but rather water
resistant or weather resistant.

Prolonged exposure to cold weather may cause damage to the LCD panel and in addition
can drain your batteries. Extreme heat can cause your batteries to drain and more
importantly, explode and corrode in the compartment. Battery corrosion will harm the unit.

Although these units are intended for outdoor use, placing them in a protected area will
preserve the life of the unit.

• A registered channel will not accept any new sensors. The registered channels will be erased
when the batteries of the remote sensor or the home unit are removed.

• When replacing batteries for the remote sensor, remember to clear the corresponding channel of
the home unit by removing the batteries or in this way: Select the respective channel by pressing
the CHANNEL button, hold the CHANNEL button 3 seconds to clear the registration.

• When replacing batteries for the home receiver, please remove batteries of all remote sensors
and re-install the batteries to the sensors according to the desired channel sequence. Press the
TX button on the back of remote sensor to verify the RF reception, hold the button 3 seconds to
reset. Replace the cover and tighten the 4 screws.
