GETTING STARTED
This product can be used with up to 2 remote units
to transmit outdoor temperature data to a main
(indoor) unit. The measurement unit (°C or °F) and
channel number (1, 2, or 3) switches are located in
the battery compartment, and should be set prior to
installation.
Additional remote units sold separately.
