USER’S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Multi-Channel In-Out Thermometer / Hygrometer (BHGR618) with a 433MHz cablefree thermo-hygro sensor.

Enclosed with this package is one (1) main display unit and one (1) cable-free remote thermo-hygro sensor unit.

The main unit has an LCD that shows recordings for indoor and outdoor temperatures, humidity, maximum and minimum recordings. The unit supports up to three 433MHz remote thermo-sensors or thermo-hygro sensors.

No wire installation is required between the main and remote units. As the BHGR618 operates at 433MHz, it can be used in the U.S. and most places in Continental Europe.

BATTERY AND CHANNEL

INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT

The remote thermo-hygro sensor unit uses two (2) UM-4 or “AAA” size alkaline batteries.

Follow these steps to install / replace batteries:

1. Loosen the screw on the battery door.

2. Select the channel number on the CHANNEL slide switch.

3. Select the temperature display unit on the °C/°F slide switch.

4. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown therein.

5. Replace the battery door and secure its screws. Replace the batteries when the low-battery indicator of the

particular channel lights up on the main unit. (Repeat the steps described in section (“BEFORE YOU BEGIN”)

A A

Note that once a channel is assigned to a remote unit, you can only change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

To ensure proper functioning of the BHGR618 follow this setup procedure.

For best operation:

1. Assign different channels to different remote units.

2. Insert batteries in remote units before doing so for the main unit (see instructions for battery installation).

3. Place the main unit as close as possible to the remote unit, reset the main unit after installing batteries. This will ensure easier synchronization between the transmission and reception of signals.

4. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is 65 to 100 feet.

BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT

The main unit uses two (2) UM-3 or “AA” size alkaline batteries.

Follow these steps to install / replace batteries:

1. Remove the screw to open the battery door.

2. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown therein.

3. Select the temperature display unit on the °C / °F slide switch.

4. Replace the battery door and fasten the screw. Replace the batteries when the low-battery indicator of the indoor temperature lights up (Repeat the steps described in section "BEFORE YOU BEGIN")
