SETTING UP:
When one sensor is used
1. First, insert the batteries to the sensor (see “How to install and
replace batteries in the temperature sensor” below).
2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the sensor, insert the batteries
to 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 indoor temperature will be displayed. If this is not
shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for
at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data
7
is displayed user may proceed to the next step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start
receiving data signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperature
should then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does
not happen after 2 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 however, there
should be a distance of no more than 330 feet between the final
position of the Temperature Station and the sensor (see notes on
“Positioning” and “915 MHz Reception”).
8
Using Multiple Sensors with One Temperature Station
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 to the Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in
place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the
indoor temperature will be displayed. If this is not shown in LCD
after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60
seconds before reinserting them.
9
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 after 2
minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and
reset from step 1.
5. Insert the batteries to the second sensor immediate after (within 10
seconds) 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 minutes, the batteries will need to be
removed from all the units and reset from step 1.
10
7. Insert the batteries to the third sensor immediate after (in 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
no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of
the Temperature Station and the sensor (see notes on
“Positioning” and “915 MHz Reception”).
Note:
11
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 on which channel each
sensor is being presented.
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 start again the set- up
from step 1.
12
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE
TEMPERATURE STATION
The Temperature Station uses 2 x AAA, Alkaline
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 compartment cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity
(see marking).
3. Replace compartment cover.
13
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor uses 1 x CR2032, 3.0V battery. When battery
needs to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD of the
Temperature Station-or replace battery every 12 months. To install and
replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Pull out the battery holder at the bottom of the sensor.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see
marking).
3. Replace the battery holder on the unit.
14
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all
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.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure
optimum accuracy of these units. (Battery life - see Specifications)

Signal icon*
* When the signal from the sensor 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.
For a better display clarity, the LCD screen is split into 2 sections,
showing the indoor and outdoor temperatures.

24
TEMPERATURE SENSOR:
The outdoor temperature is measured and transmitted to the
Temperature Station approximately every 16 seconds.
The range of the temperature sensor may be affected by the temperature.
Cold temperatures may decrease the transmitting distance. Please bear
this in mind when placing the sensor.
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 3 minutes after setup (the signal reception icon does not appear),
or in normal display "---" is shown, please check the following points:
25
1. The distance of the Temperature Station or sensor should be a t
least 5 to 6.5 feet (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:
If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz)
26
for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is
tried another 45 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 45
seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-synchronization.
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
27
possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to
be reset (see Setting up above).
POSITIONING
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
The Temperature Station comes attached
with a table stand, which provides the option
of table standing the unit in addition to wall
mounting. Before wall mounting, please
check that the outdoor temperature values
can be received from the desired locations.
28
To wall mount:
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.
29
POSITIONING THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The remote temperature sensor can be placed
onto any flat surface or wall mounted using the
bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount
base.
30
To wall mount:
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the
screws and plastic anchors.
2. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the
bracket.
31
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.
32
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.
•
Do not submerge the units in water. Furthermore, fix all parts in
place where the units are adequately protected against moisture
and rain.
33
•
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.
