Wireless 915 MHz Outdoor Temperature Transmitter  Rain-resistant Casing  Wall Mounting or Table Stand
Note: Mount in a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine.
SETUP: Note: this temperature station can only receive one transmitter only.
1. First, insert batteries into the transmitter (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Temperature transmitter” below).
2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter, insert batteries into the Temperature Station (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Temperature station” below). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the i ndoor temperature, the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed you may proceed to the next step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start receiving outdoor temp data from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the Temperature station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, remove the batteries from both units and start again f rom step 1.
4. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission, the outdoor transmitter should be placed a distance of no more than 200 feet from the Temperature Station and the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning” and “915 MHz Reception”).
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION
The Temperature Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6 1.5V batteries. When batteries will need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Lift up the battery compartme nt cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarit y (see marking).
3. Replace compartment cover.
HOW TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
The Temperature transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3 1.5V batteries. When batteries need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD of the Temperature Station. To install and replace the batteries, please foll ow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

* When the signal from the transmitter is successfully received by the Temperature Station, this icon will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown on the LCD). User can therefore easily see whether the last reception was successful (“ON” icon) or not (“OFF” icon). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is being done at that time.

VIEWING THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE AND MIN/MAX
r
The indoor temperature is displayed in the second sect ion of the LCD along with the indoor MIN/MAX records:
Notes:
The maximum temperature record for the MIN indoor temperature can only be up to ­10ºC, and the MIN/MAX temperature resolution is 1°C.
The resolution of the indoor temper ature is 0.5ºC

VIEWING THE OUTDOOR TEMPER ATURE AND THE MIN/ MAX
The outdoor temperature is displayed in the last section of the LCD along with the outdoor MIN/MAX records:

TO RESET THE MIN/MAX DATA:
The MIN/MAX temperature can be reset manually by pressing and holding the + key for about 3 seconds. This will reset all indoor and outdoor MIN/MAX temperature to current indoor and outdoor temperatures.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the batteries require changing.
915 MHz RECEPTION CHECK
The Temperature Station should receive the outdoor temperature data within a few minutes after setup. If the temperature data are not received about 2 minutes after setup (the signal reception icon does not appear), please check the following points:
1. The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitter should be at least 1.5 to 2 meters away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid positioning the Temperature Station onto or in the immediate proximity of
metal window frames.
3. Using other elect r ical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also cause interference.
Note:
When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or the Temperature Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. If this happens accidentally, all units must be reset (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The transmission range is about 200 ft. from the transmitter to the Temperature Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the obse rvation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up above).

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATUR E STATION:
Table standing
The Temperature Station comes attached with a table stand, which provides the option of table standing the unit in addition to wall mounting.
To wall mount:
Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values can be received from the desired locations:
1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out by about 5mm.
2. Hang the Temperature Station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.
POSITIONING THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
we recommend not to place the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate vicinity (garage doors, double
The remote temperature transmitter can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base.
To wall mount:
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors.
2. Clip the remote temperature transmi tter onto the bracket.
Note: The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If, for instance, the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason,
glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the Temperature Station can receive the 915MHz signal from the temperature transmitter at the positions that you wish to place them.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Extreme temperatures, vibrations and shocks should be avoided as these may
cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.
When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use
solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casi ngs.
Do not submerge the units in water. Furthermore, fix all parts in place where the
units are adequately protected against moisture and rain.
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage.
Replace only with new batteries of the recommended type.
Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of
purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their guarantee.
Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may
lead to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
