• 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.

• The

signal icon indicates that the Atomic Clock feature is ON. No icon means that it is OFF.

• 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.

• Insert batteries and select the channel before mounting the sensor.

• LLL or HHH appears when the temperature is out of range.

• If the temperature on your sensor does not match the one on your main unit, press and hold MEMORY and CHANNEL to retrieve the signal again. Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.

• Do not place the sensor more than 100 feet (30.5 meters) from the main unit.

• Position the sensor facing the main unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.

• Place the sensor 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.

• If you still do not receive a signal, 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.

• The display in outdoor thermometers remains operational to -4°F with adequate power. 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.

• Keep the main unit and remote sensor dry. If they get wet, wipe them dry immediately.

• Use and store the main unit and remote sensor only in room temperature environments.

• Handle the main unit and remote sensor carefully. Do not drop them.

• Keep the main unit and remote sensor away from dust and dirt, and wipe them with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them looking new.

• Never immerse the product in water. This can cause electrical shock and damage the product.

• Do not subject the main unit to extreme force, shock, or ﬂ uctuations in temperature or humidity.

• Do not tamper with the internal components.
