GETTING STARTED

BATTERIES

Batteries are supplied with this product:

• Main unit 4 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V

• Remote unit 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 remote sensor before the main unit. Press RESET after each battery change.

To install the main unit batteries:

Do not use rechargeable batteries.

NOTE

It is recommended that you use alkaline

batteries with this product for longer performance.

CLOCK AND CALENDAR

This product tracks the time and date based on radiocontrolled signals from the RTGR368N remote sensor, or manual settings that you enter.

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.

ICON DESCRIPTION

Main unit is searching for sensors.

At least 1 channel has been found.

Sensor 1 is sending data. (The number shows which sensor is selected.)

--- shows in Temp / Humidity Area

The selected sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries.

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 (RTGR368N) 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.

The

icon shown in the Clock Area indicates
