GETTING STARTED
BATTERIES
Batteries are not supplied with this product. You will need to purchase the following alkaline batteries:
• Main unit 3 x UM-3 / AA 1.5V
• Remote sensor 2 x UM-4 / AAA 1.5V
• UV sensor 2 x UM-3 / AA 1.5V
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity as shown in the battery compartment. For best results, install batteries in the sensors before the main unit. Press
RESET after each battery change.
NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries.

SETUP SENSOR
1. Open the sensor battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity as shown in the battery compartment.
SWITCH OPTION
Channel
Channel 1 - 3. If you are using more than one sensor, select a different channel for each sensor.
3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery compartment.
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET on the sensor. Then, press and hold MEMORY and CHANNEL on the main unit to initiate signal sending between the sensor and the main unit. The reception icon on the main unit will blink for approximately 3 minutes while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer to the Data Transmission section for more information.)
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand.
For best results:
• Insert the batteries and select the channel before you mount the sensor.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 98 feet (30 meters) from the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures may affect battery performance and signal transmission.
You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.
Standard Alkaline batteries contain signifcant amounts of water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of approximately 10°F. Disposable Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature with an estimated freezing range of below -40°F. The Liquid Crystal Display in outdoor thermometers will remain operational to -20°F with adequate power.

Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base station.
If the unit's performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range (i.e no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).
DATA TRANSMISSION
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds. The reception icon shown in the Temperature and Humidity Area shows the status.
ICON

DESCRIPTION
Main unit is searching for sensors.
At least 1 channel has been found.
Channel 1 is selected (number will change depending on the sensor you select)
The selected sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries.
SEARCH FOR SENSOR
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEMORY and CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.
NOTE Signals from household devices such as doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal and does not affect general product performance. The reception will resume once the interference ends.
CLOCK
This product shows the current time, and day of week in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. The US Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado automatically updates this information unless you disable the feature. The signals are collected by the main unit when it is within 932 miles (1500 km) of a signal.
Initial reception takes 2 - 10 minutes, and is initiated when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area.

To force a manual search for Atomic Clock signals, press and hold for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check the batteries.
NOTE If the Atomic Clock signal is received and the hour is incorrect, use the "time zone offset" feature to adjust it to the appropriate time zone. Please see "Set Clock section" for instructions.
TURN ATOMIC CLOCK ON / OFF
Perform this step if you cannot receive Atomic Clock signals. Press and hold for 2 sec onds. Then, manually set the clock following the Set Clock section for instructions.
The signal icon indicates that the Atomic Clock feature is ON. No icon means that it is OFF.

ICE WARNING
The temperature range at which water begins to freeze and turns to ice is approx. 37°F (3°C) to 28°F (-2°C). It is during this period that ice becomes most slippery, creating hazardous surface conditions dangerous for travelling.
The BAR609HGA’s Ice Warning feature gives out temperature readings to warn you when the temperature is approaching freezing. If Channel 1 sensor falls between 37°F to 28°F (3°C to -2°C), the freeze alert icon will flash on the main unit display.
HEAT INDEX
Heat index is the temperature the body feels when heat and humidity are combined. The temperature you feel does not always correspond to the actual air temperature
and relative humidity. The heat index (apparent temperature) is how hot the heat-humidity combination makes you feel.
The BAR609HGA’s heat index feature advises 4 levels of warning if the temperature is high.
