NOTES

•Opening the housing of either the remote sensor or the home receiver will invalidate your warranty. Do not attempt to repair this unit. There are no consumer serviceable parts.

•If you encounter any difficulties in setting up your wireless thermometer system, please contact Consumer Relations.

•Your new RF Thermometer is built with random security code technology. The home receiver will learn the random code of the first remote sensor and log it in as channel 1. Channel 2 and Channel 3 will be registered in the same way if additional sensors are used. The home receiver can monitor up to 3 separate sensors.

•Once a channel is registered, it will not accept any new sensors. However, registered channels can be erased by removing the batteries in the remote sensor or the home unit.

•When replacing batteries for the remote sensor - Remember to clear the corresponding channel of the home receiver by removing the batteries or select the respective channel of the sensor by pressing the CHANNEL button on the home receiver. Hold the CHANNEL button for 3 seconds to clear the registration.

•When replacing batteries for the home receiver - Please remove the batteries of all remote sensors. Once you have replaced the home receiver batteries, re-install the batteries to the sensors according to the desired channel sequence. This will ensure that the home receiver and the remote sensors are properly synchronized.

•Press the Tx button on the back of remote sensor to verify the RF reception.

•It is recommended to test the home receiver and the remote sensor next to each other to ensure that both are properly synchronized.

•Keep the remote sensor out of direct sunlight and rain. Do not mount on a metal surface.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Indoor and Outdoor temperatures do not match when placed next to each other -

Each sensor is manufactured to be +/- 2 degrees in accuracy under normal conditions. So it is possible to have up to four degrees difference shown on the separate temperature sensors (one could be “+2 degree” and the other “-2 degrees”. Additionally, the calibration curve is different between the two units because of the greater temperature range of the outdoor sensor. Errors are usually noted on the extreme ends of the temperature ranges.

Base unit is not accepting remote transmissions -

The units may not be properly synchronized or the batteries may need to be replaced. See “GETTING STARTED” section beginning on page 2 of the instructions for detailed instructions. With the two units next to each other, attempt synchronization. Remember to always place the remote sensor within the effective transmission range and away from large metal surfaces.

What is the recommended battery type?

We recommend using only alkaline batteries for replacements.
