SETTING UP:
When one transmitter is used:

1. First, insert the batteries into the transmitter (see “How to install and replace batteries in the
Temperature transmitter” below).

2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the transmitter, 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. Then the indoor temperature
and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown on LCD after 60 seconds, remove
the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data 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
transmitter.

4. The outdoor temperature should 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. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission, the final position between the Temperature
Station and the transmitter should not be more than 100 meters (see notes on “Positioning”
and “868 MHz Reception”).

25

When more than one transmitter is used

1. User shall remove all the batteries from the temperature station and transmitters and wait 60
seconds if setting has been done with one transmitter before.

2. Insert the batteries to the first transmitter.

3. Within 30 seconds of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries to the Temperature
Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the

indoor temperature and the time as 0:00 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 transmitter (channel 1) should be displayed on the
Temperature station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen
after 40 seconds, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

5. Insert the batteries to the second transmitter immediate after (in 10 seconds after) inserting
battery to the temperature station.

6. The outdoor temperature from the second transmitter and the "channel 2" icon should then be
displayed on the Temperature station. If this does not happen after 40 seconds, the batteries will
need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.

7. Insert the batteries to the third transmitter immediate after (in 10 seconds after) inserting battery
to the second transmitter.

26

8. Then within 40 seconds, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third transmitter will be displayed
and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third transmitter is successfully received. If
this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.

.

Note:

After the three transmitters have been set up, user may need to check the readings displayed on the
temperature station against those being shown on the transmitter displays, in order to recognise on
which channel each transmitter 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.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE
TEMPERATURE STATION

The Temperature Station uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 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 compartment cover.

2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Replace compartment cover.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE
TRANSMITTER

The Temperature transmitter 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 of the Temperature
Station. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Replace the battery holder to the unit.

28

Note:

In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setup
procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the transmitter 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 every 12 months to ensure optimum accuracy of
these units.

Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to
an authorised depot.
