REMOTE SENSOR
This product is shipped with the RTGR328N Thermo / Hygro Sensor. The main unit can collect data from up to 5 Thermo / Hygro Sensors. The main unit is compatible with the following sensors:
THGR228N, THGR328N, THR228N, THR328N, THWR288.
(Additional sensors are sold separately. Contact your local retailer for more information.)
The RTGR328N Sensor collects temperature and humidity readings, and signals from official time-keeping organizations for the radio-controlled clock.
SET UP THERMO / HYGRO SENSOR (RTGR328N)
1. Open the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries.
3. Set the channel and radio signal format. The switches are located in the battery compartment.

For best results:
• Insert the batteries and select the unit, channel, and radio signal format before you mount the sensor.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 70 metres (230 feet) 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.
NOTE
The transmission range may vary and is subject
to the receiving range of the main unit.
You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.
SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 60 seconds. The reception icon shown in the Temperature / Humidity Area indicates the status.

CLOCK AND CALENDAR
This product tracks the time and date based on radio­controlled signals from the RTGR328N remote sensor, or manual settings that you enter.
RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK
The time and date are automatically updated by radio­controlled clock signals from official time-keeping organizations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby (England) unless you disable this feature. The signals are collected by the remote sensor (RTGR328N) whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) 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.

• Connection between the main unit and the sensor
• RF signal reception (
