AC ADAPTER (MAIN UNIT)
An AC Adapter is supplied for use with this product. It must be plugged in for the continuous projection feature to work. The power jack is located on the back of the main unit.
CHANGE SETTINGS
1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds to enter setting mode.
2. Press UP or DOWN to change settings.
3. Press MODE to confirm.
TABLE STAND
The table stand is located on the back of the product, as shown below.
GETTING STARTED
BATTERIES
Batteries are not supplied with this product. You will need to purchase 2 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V alkaline batteries for the main unit, and 2 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V alkaline batteries for the remote sensor.
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.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
NOTE
shows when batteries are low.

REMOTE SENSOR (THGR122NX)
This product is shipped with a THGR122NX Thermo/ Hygro Sensor that collects Temperature and Humidity data. Data can be collected from up to 3 sensors. Additional sensors sold separately.
SETUP SENSOR
Open the remote sensor battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.
1. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity as shown in the battery compartment.
2. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery compartment.
SWITCH OPTION
Channel
Channel 1 - 3. If you are using more than one sensor, select a different channel for each sensor.
3. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET on the sensor to initiate signal sending between the sensor and the main unit. The reception icon on the main unit will blink for approximately 3 minutes while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer to the Sensor Data Transmission section for more information.)
4. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
5. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand.
For best results:
Insert the batteries and select the channel and temperature unit before you mount the sensor.
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters (98 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.
You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.
Standard Alkaline batteries contain signifcant amounts of water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of approximately 10°F. Disposable Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature with an estimated freezing range of below -40°F. The Liquid Crystal Display in outdoor thermometers will remain operational to -20°F with adequate power.

ICON
DESCRIPTION Main unit is searching for
sensors.
At least 1 channel has been found.
Channel 1 is selected (number will change depending on the sensor you select)
The selected sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries.
SEARCH FOR SENSOR
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEM and CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries,
obstructions, and remote unit location.
Signals from household devices such as doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal and does not affect general product performance. The reception will resume once the interference ends.
CLOCK
This product shows the current time, time zone, and day of week in English, Spanish, or French. The time is automatically updated by the US Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado unless you disable this feature. Signals are collected by the main unit when it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.
Initial reception takes 2 - 10 minutes, and is initiated when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area.
Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base station.
If the unit’s performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range (i.e no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).
DATA TRANSMISSION
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds. The reception icon shown in the Temperature and Humidity Areas shows the status.

To force a manual search for Atomic Clock signals, press and hold UP for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check the batteries.
TURN ATOMIC CLOCK ON/OFF
Perform this step if you cannot receive Atomic Clock signals. Press and hold ZONE (located in the battery compartment) for 2 seconds. Then, manually set the clock following the “Set Clock” instructions (below).
SET CLOCK
You only need to do this if you have disabled the Atomic Clock feature (for example, if you are too far from or cannot receive a signal).
1. Open the battery compartment.
2. Press ZONE repeatedly to display the desired Time Zone: (P) Pacific, (M) Mountain, (C) Central, or (E) Eastern.
The signal icon indicates that the Atomic Clock feature is ON. No icon means that it is OFF
3. Close the battery compartment.
4. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds. The Clock Area will blink.
5. Select the hour, minute, year, month, day and language. Press UP or DOWN to change the setting. Press MODE to confirm.
The language options are (E) English,
(F) French, and (S) Spanish.
