BEFORE YOU BEGIN
EN
To ensure proper functioning of the EMR899HGN follow this setup
procedure.
For best operation:
1. Assign different channels to different remote units.
2. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main unit
(see instructions for battery installation).
3. Place the main unit as close as possible next 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 20 to 30 meters.
Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building
materials and where the main and remote units are positioned.
Try various set-ups for best result.
Though the remote units are weather proof, they should be placed
away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

GETTING STARTED
Once batteries are placed in a given remote sensor unit, it will start
transmitting information at 40-second intervals.
Also, for approximately a 3-minute duration, the main unit will
automatically search for signals once batteries are installed. Upon
successful reception, the individual channel temperature reading
will be displayed on the top line and the respective humidity reading
on the bottom line. The main unit will automatically update its
readings at about 40-second intervals.
If no signals are received, blanks “ --- ” will be displayed and the
kinetic wave icon will not show.
To force a signal search:
• Press and hold IN/REMOTE for 2-seconds to enforce a
3-minute search.
This is useful in synchronizing the transmission and reception of the
remote and main units.
Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between the
reading shown on the main unit and that on the respective remote
unit.
