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 remote sensors and log it in as channel 1, then set the additional remote sensors as channel 2 and channel 3 if necessary. 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.

Once you have replaced the home receiver batteries, re-install the batteries to the sensors and re-log them in again. 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.
