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 30 seconds 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 1 minute, 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”).

27

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 within 10 seconds after the temperature station
successfully receives the signal of the first transmitter.

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 within 10 seconds after the temperature station
successfully receives the signal of the second transmitter.

28

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.
