Digital In-Out Thermometer
with RF Clock & Photo Frame
MODEL: RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU (UK Version)
Congratulations on your purchase of the RMR232PHN/
RMR232PHU, an In-Out Thermometer with Radio-Controlled Clock
and a Photo Frame attached.
The basic package comes with the following:
-- Main unit (RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU).
-- Remote thermo sensor unit
-- Blue and metallic grey exchangeable front key panels.
The main unit shows the indoor temperature, calendar clock and
temperatures collected and transmitted by the remote unit.
The main unit is also capable of keeping track of the maximum and
minimum temperature measured. No wire installation is required
and the RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU operates at 433MHz.
As for the calendar clock, it is radio-controlled. It automatically
synchronizes its current time and date when it is brought within an
approximate 1500km radius of the radio signal generated from
Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77). (MSF 60 for UK Version)
You can also set the calendar clock manually when it is off range.
Other features include five-language display and two-minute
crescendo daily alarm.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
For best operation,
1. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main
unit.
2. 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.
3. 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.
BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT
1. Slide open the battery compartment door.
2. Install 2 alkaline batteries (UM3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly
according to the polarities shown.
3. Press the [RESET] button.
4. Replace the battery compartment door.
BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT
1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.

THE RESET BUTTON
This button is only used when the unit is operating in an unfavorable
way or malfunctioning. Use a blunt stylus to hold down the button.
All settings will return to their default values.
GETTING STARTED
Once batteries are in place for the remote unit, they will start
transmitting temperature readings at 78-second intervals.
The main unit will also start searching for signals for about four
minutes once batteries are installed. Upon successful reception, the
outdoor temperature will be displayed on the top line and the indoor
temperature on the second line. The main unit will automatically
update its readings at about 78-second intervals.
If no signals are received, blanks " " will be displayed and the
kinetic wave icon will show “ “. Press [ ] and [ ]
simultaneously to enforce another search for about 4 minutes. This
is useful in synchronizing the transmission and reception of the
remote and main units.
HOW TO CHECK REMOTE AND INDOOR
TEMPERATURES
The indoor temperature is shown on the second line of the display.
The outdoor temperature is shown on the top line of the display.
The kinetic wave display on the outdoor temperature indicates if
the reception of the remote unit is in good order.
If no readings are received from the remote unit for more than four
minutes, blanks “ ” will be displayed until further readings are
successfully searched. Check if the remote unit is sound and secure.
You can wait for a little while or press [ ] and [ ] simultaneously
to enforce an immediate search.
If the temperature goes above or below than the temperature
measuring range of the main unit or the remote unit (stated in
specification), the display will show “HHH” or “LLL”.
HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE
DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the
main unit. There are three possible forms:
6
The unit is in searching mode.
Temperature readings are
securely registered.
No signals.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES
The maximum and minimum recorded indoor and outdoor
temperatures will be automatically stored in memory. To display
them, press [ MEM ] once to display the maximum temperature
and again the minimum temperature. The respective indicators,
[ MAX or MIN ] will be displayed.
To clear the memory, hold down [ MEM ] for two seconds. The
maximum and minimum temperatures will be erased. If you press
[ MEM ] now, the maximum and minimum temperatures will have
the same values as the current ones until different readings are
recorded.
DISCONNECTED SIGNALS
If without obvious reasons the display of the outdoor temperature
goes blank, press [ ] and [ ] to enforce an immediate search.
If that fails, check:
1. The remote unit is still in place.
2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit. Replace as
necessary.
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point, the batteries
of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage supply
and the effective range.
3. The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles
and interference. Shorten the distance when necessary.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home
security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of this
product and cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal and
does not affect the general performance of the product. The
transmission and reception of temperature readings will resume once
the interference recedes.
NOTE ON °C AND °F
The unit of temperature display can be selected by pressing °C / °F
button repeatedly.

CALENDAR CLOCK DISPLAY MODES
The clock and the calendar share the same section of the display.
The calendar is displayed in a day-month format.
When the RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU is within range, its radiocontrol mechanism will override all manual settings unless autoreception of radio signal has been deactivated.
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the radio reception signal
will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes about 2 to
10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal.
When the reception is complete, the radio reception signal will stop
blinking. The strength of the reception for the last full hour will be
indicated.
CLOCK MODE
CALENDAR MODE
Each press on the [ MODE ] button will toggle the display between
clock and calendar mode.
ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU is designed to automatically
synchronize its calendar clock once it is brought within range of the
Frankfurt DCF77 radio signal.(MSF for UK Version)
- Strong
- Weak
- No Reception

For better reception, place the clock away from metal objects and
electrical appliances to minimize interference.
If you wish to disable the auto-reception feature, press the [ ]
button for two seconds. The radio reception signal will disappear.
The unit will not respond to radio signals.
To enable the feature again, press the [ ] button for two seconds.
The radio reception signal will start blinking to initiate reception
automatically.
