SETTING UP:
When one sensor is used
1. First, insert the battery into the temperature sensor. (see “Install and replace batteries in the temperature sensor“).
2. Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Temperature Station (see “Install and replace batteries in the Temperature Station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as 12:00 and the indoor temperature will be displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds before reinserting them.
3. After inserting the battery into the sensor, the Temperature Station will start receiving data from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
4. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be a distance of no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).
When more than one sensor is to be used
1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Temperature Station
and sensors and wait 60 seconds if setting has been done with one sensor before.
2. Insert the batteries to the first sensor.
3. Within 30 seconds of powering up the first sensor, insert the
batteries into to the Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in
3
place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following time as 12:00 and the indoor temperature will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.
4. The outdoor temperature from the first sensor (channel 1) should
then be displayed on the Temperature Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen af ter 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.
5. Insert the battery into the second sensor immediately after (within
10 seconds after) inserting battery to the Temperature Station.
6. The outdoor temperature from the second sensor and the "channel
2" icon should then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 2 minute, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.
7. Insert the batteries into the third sensor immediately after (within
10 seconds after) inserting battery to the second sensor.
8. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third
sensor will be displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third sensor is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.
9. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be
a distance of no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).
Note:
After the three sensors have been set up, user may need to check the readings displayed on the Temperature Station against those being shown on the sensor displays, in order to recognize which channel each sensor is displayed.

reset all the minimum / maximum data to the current values in a single action. (Data of all outdoor and indoor data will be reset at the same time.)
10
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 sensor 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 electrical 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 sensor 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 330 ft. (100 m) from the sensor to the Temperature Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up above).

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, 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 glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the Temperature Station can receive the 915MHz signal from the temperature sensor 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 casings.
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors.
2. Clip the temperature sensor onto the bracket.
13
Do not submerge the units in water. Place units in locations that 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 (alkaline).
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.
