REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)
This product is shipped with a THN122N Thermometer
Sensor that collects Temperature data. The main unit
can be connected to only 1 remote sensor.
SET UP SENSOR
1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with
a small Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ and -)
as shown in the battery compartment.
3. Set the channel switch to any 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 SEARCH 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.
Installing the batteries:
Using the wall mount or stand:

For best results:
• Insert the batteries and 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 significant 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 every 40 seconds. The
reception icon shown in the Temperature Area shows
the status.

DESCRIPTION
Main unit is searching
for the sensor
A Channel has been
found
The sensor cannot be
found. Search for the
sensor or check batteries
Page 10
EN
SEARCH FOR SENSOR
To search for the sensor, press and hold SEARCH (on
the main unit) 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
The clock automatically synchronizes the current time
and date when it is brought within range of the WWVB60 atomic clock signal generated from Fort Collins,
Colorado. For more information, please visit:
boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/radioclocks.htm
NOTE 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 set up the unit, and whenever you press RESET.

Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The
icon is shown in the Clock Area.
STRONG SIGNAL WEAK SIGNAL NO SIGNAL
To force a manual search for atomic clock signals, press
and hold for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check
the batteries.
TURN ATOMIC CLOCK SIGNAL ON / OFF
Perform this step if you cannot receive atomic clock
signals. Press and hold for 2 seconds. Then, manually
set the clock following the “Set Clock” instructions.
The signal icon indicates that the clock feature is
ON. No icon means that it is OFF.
