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 unit and main unit within effective transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is up to 30 meters.

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 units are weather proof, they should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

BATTER Y INST ALLA TION: MAIN UNIT

1. Remove the Table-stand from the main unit as shown.

2. Gently slide down the battery compartment door.

3. Insert four UM-3 or “AA” size alkaline batteries.

4. Replace the battery compartment door and the table stand.

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 respective low-battery indicator will show up when the respective channel is selected.

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.

As for the remote unit, it comes with a wall-mount holder and a removable stand. Use either to hold the unit in place.

THE RESET BUTTON

This button is only used when the unit is operating in an unfavorable way or malfunctioning. Use a blunt stylus to hold down the button. All settings will return to their default values.

GETTING STA RTED

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

Also, 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 top line and the respective humidity reading on the bottom line. The main unit will automatically update its readings at about 40-second intervals.

If no signals are received, blanks “---” will be displayed and the kinetic wave icon will not show.
