2.3RemoteThermometerSensorSetUp
Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the
batteries.
Remove the battery door on the back of th e sensor with a Philips screwdriver (there is only one screw, in the middle of the unit). Insert two AAA batteries as shown in 错误！未找到引用源。 (we recommend lithium batteries for co ld weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates).
Replace the battery door and set screw. Note that the temperature and humidity wil l be displayed on the LCD display. Looking at the back of the unit from top to bottom, the polarity is (+) (-) for the left battery and (-) (+) for the right battery.

2.4DisplayConsoleSetUp
Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the
batteries.
Move the remote thermometer at least 10’ away from the display console (if the sens or is too close, it may not be received by the display console).
Remove the battery door on the back of the display. Insert two AA (alkaline or lithium, avoid rechargeable) batteries in the back of the display console.
All of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly.
Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position.
The console will instantly display indoor temperature, date and ti me. The outdoor temperature and humidity will display --, then update on the display within a few minutes. Do not touch any buttons until the remote sensor reports in, otherwise the remote sensor search mode will be terminated, and you must power down and power up the console again. When the remote sensor data has been received, the console will automatically switch to the normal mode, and all further settings can be performed.
If the remote does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 7.

location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 8% (the accuracy is ± 4%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.
Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (the accuracy is ± 2°F). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.
3. RemoteSensorInstallation
It is recommended you mount the remote sensor on a north facing wall, in a shaded area (the sensor can mount to a horizontal or vertical surfac e). Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is water resistant, it is best to mount in a well protected area, such as an eve.
Use 3 screws to affix the mounting bracket to the wall, as shown in Figure 1. Connect the remote sensor to the wall bracket (it will snap into place).
4. ConsoleOperation
