type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.

1. Press on the tab on the battery com­partment cover and lift the cover off.

2. Place two fresh batteries in the com­partment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

All the segments of the display
screen appear briefly, then the out­door/indoor temperatures and indoor
relative humidity appear.

3. Replace the cover.

If the display appears weak or the ther­mometer does not work properly, replace
the batteries.

Cautions:

• Never leave dead or weak batteries
in the thermometer.

• Dispose of batteries properly, do not
bury or burn them.

Preparation

CHOOSING A MOUNTING
LOCATION

Choose locations for the thermometer
and the attached outdoor sensor within
10 feet of each other, where you can eas­ily route the outdoor sensor’s cord out­side (near a window, for example).

You can place the thermometer on a lev­el surface (such as a desktop or counter)
using the supplied stand, or you can
mount it on a wall.

For the best mounting results, attach the
thermometer and outdoor sensor on dry
wall or wood surfaces. Avoid mounting ei­ther on ceramic tile or metal surfaces.

The most common way to route the out­door sensor’s cord is through a corner or
depression in a window sill or door edge.

Preparation

7

You can also use a pass-through tube to
route the cord through a wall.

Cautions:

• The outdoor sensor is permanently
attached to the thermometer. Do not
try to remove it.

• Avoid routing the outdoor sensor’s
cord where it could be pinched or
cut.

Note:

Keep the thermometer and outdoor
sensor away from artificial sources of
heat or cold such as stoves, heating
vents, radiators, and direct sunlight.

Attaching the Stand

1. Flip up the two tabs on the stand.

Preparation

2. Insert the tabs in the matching slots
on the thermometer’s base un til they
snap into place.

Note:

Make sure the flat side of the base

faces the front of the thermometer.
To remove the stand, gently pull it away

from the unit.

Care

Keep the thermometer dry; if it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately. Use and store
the thermometer only in normal tempera­ture environments. Handle the thermom­eter carefully; do not drop it. Keep the
thermometer away from dust and dirt,
and wipe it with a damp cloth occasional­ly to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the ther­mometer’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and invalidate its
warranty. If your thermometer is not per­forming as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
