SELECTING A LOCATION

Choose locations for the Freezer and Freezer Mate within 70 to 100 feet
of each other. For example, place your freezer in the garage or
basement and the Freezer Mate in the kitchen. The construction of the
building might affect the transmission range. Try not to have a concrete
or metal structure in the direct path of the freezer and Freezer Mate.
Since the location of the freezer is somewhat stationary, please try
several locations for the Freezer Mate to determine the best location. If
the communication link is lost, the signal icon will blink within 3 minutes.

ALARM FUNCTIONS

beep. Press the RESET button to stop the audible alarm (beep). The
display will continue to flash until the problem at the freezer is identified,
corrected and the temperature drops below 23ºF (-5ºC). If the

SIGNAL LOST ALARM

The Signal Icon will blink to indicate that the Freezer Mate is not
communicating with the freezer. Check for metal or concrete obstacles
between the freezer and the Freezer Mate. Relocate the Freezer Mate
to a suitable location where it receives signal again and the Signal icon
stops blinking.

Freezer Mate will beep. Press the reset button to stop the audible alarm
(beep) but the icon will continue to blink until the power is restored to the
