MAIN UNIT

HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR

The BAR338PA includes a projection function that projects the
current time and remote sensor temperature onto a wall, ceiling or
other flat surface.

To project the time-temperature onto a flat surface:

In a darkened room, press [ SNOOZE / LIGHT ], the projection will
activate for approximately 5 seconds.

This unit has several features to enhance the clarity of the projected
image.

HINTS FOR BEST OPERATION

• Insert batteries in the remote unit before doing so for the main
unit.

• Position the main and remote unit within the transmission
range (20 to 30 meters; 65.5 - 100 feet).

• Position the remote unit away from direct sunlight, rain or
snow.

• After battery installation, the main unit will search for signal
from the remote unit. Upon successful receipt of signal, the
remote temperature reading received will be displayed on the
main unit. Should the signal reception between the main unit
and the remote sensor be unsuccessful, shorten the distance
between them and/or reposition the main unit and/or the sensor
so they are in a more direct line of sight to one another.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Remove the battery compartment door.

2. Insert two AA-sized batteries (included) for the remote unit or
four AA-sized batteries (included) for the main unit. Batteries
are to be inserted with polarities in the direction shown in the
diagram on page 3 for the remote sensor unit and page 4 for the
main display unit.

3. Press [RESET].

4. Replace the battery compartment door.
