GETTING STARTED
BATTERIES
Batteries for the remote and main units are supplied
with this product. Replace them whenever the low
battery signal (
) displays. Remove the battery
compartment lid on the bottom of the main unit, and
insert the batteries. You will need a small Phillips
screwdriver to remove the remote unit compartment lid.
Be sure to match the correct polarity, as shown in the
battery compartment. Before you close the lid, press
the RESET button with the point of a blunt object (such
as a ball point pen).
Insert the batteries in the remote unit before
you set up the main unit. Do not use rechargeable
batteries.
AC POWER ADAPTER
An AC power adapter is supplied for use with the main
unit. You must connect the power adapter if you wish
to use the continuous projection or backlight features.
The jack is located on the side of the unit.
If the AC power becomes unavailable, the
unit will automatically switch to battery power.
SWITCH BETWEEN MODES
Press SELECT. The selected mode will flash. The
display will stop flashing if no key is pressed within

REMOTE UNIT SET UP
Up to 3 remote units can be used with this product
to monitor outdoor temperature and humidity. The

(1, 2, or 3) switches are located in the battery
compartment, and should be set prior to installation.
Additional remote units sold separately. If you
are using more than one remote unit, be sure to
select a different channel number for each unit.
INSTALLATION
Mount the remote unit on a flat surface using the recess
holes on the back of the unit.
For best results:
• Before you insert the batteries, select the
measurement unit and channel number first.
• Place the unit out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the remote unit more than
20 - 30 meters (60 - 90 feet) from the main
(indoor) unit.
• Position the unit so that it faces the main (indoor)
unit. Minimize obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
