BEFORE YOU BEGIN

For best operation,

1. Assign different channels to different remote units.

2. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main unit.

3. Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit, reset the main unit after installing batteries. This will ensure

easier synchronization between the transmission and reception of signals.

4. Position the remote sensor and main unit within effective transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, range of 100

feet (30 meters) under ideal conditions.

Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building

materials and where the main and remote units are positioned. Try various set-ups for best result.

Though the remote sensors are weather resistant, they should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

BATTER Y INST ALLA TION: MAIN UNIT

1. Gently lift up the tab on the battery compartment door.

2. Insert four (4) UM-3 or “AA” size batteries.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

BATTER Y AND CHANNEL INST ALLA TION:

REMOTE UNIT

The remote thermo-hygro sensor unit uses two (2) UM-3 or “AA”

size batteries.

Follow these steps to install / replace batteries:

1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.

2. Select the channel number on the [CHANNEL] slide switch.

3. Select the temperature display unit on the °C/°F slide switch.

4. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown therein.

5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.

Replace the batteries when the low-battery indicator of the particular channel lights up on the main unit. (Repeat the steps described in section “BEFORE YOU BEGIN”)

Note that once a channel is assigned to a remote unit, you can only change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.

LOW BATTER Y W ARNING

When it is time to replace batteries, the low-battery indicator will be displayed for the selected channel.

HOW TO USE THE T ABLE ST AND OR WALL

MOUNTING

The main unit has a removable table stand which when connected can support the unit on a flat surface. Or you can remove the stand

and mount the unit on a wall using the recessed screw hole.

THE RESET BUTTON

This button is used when the unit is operating in an unfavorable way or malfunctioning. To return all user programmed settings to their original factory values, press [ RESET ] by using a blunt stylus to hold down the button.

GETTING STA RTED

Once batteries are placed in a given remote sensor unit, it will start transmitting information at 40-second intervals.

For approximately a 3-minute duration, the main unit will

automatically search for signals once batteries are installed. Upon successful reception, the individual channel temperature reading will be displayed on the second line and the respective humidity reading on the third line. The main unit will automatically update its readings at about 40-second intervals.
