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.
4
If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for
45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried
for another 45 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 45
seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-synchronization.
IMPORTANT:
Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not
followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is
necessary to remove the batteries from all units and follow the set-up from
step 1.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see
marking).
3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all
to be reset by following the setup procedures. This is because a
random security code is assigned by the sensor at start-up and this
code must be received and stored by the Temperature Station in the
first few minutes of power supplying.

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).

using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base.
To wall mount:
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.
