Introduction

ˆ

Your RadioShack Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Ther­mometer with Wireless Remote Sensor is a complete
system that lets you monitor the temperature indoors
and out. You can hang the main unit indoors on a wall
or use its built-in stand for easy viewing on a table.
You can place the remote sensor outdoors or in an­other room to monitor the temperature at that loca­tion.

You can use up to two other remote sensors
(RadioShack Cat. No. 63-1027, not supplied) with the
system’s three built-in remote channels to monitor the
temperature at four different locations.

longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline bat­teries.

Warning:

Dispose of old batteries promptly and prop-

erly. Do not burn or bury them.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and

recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types

of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries

can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic
parts.

Notes:

• If you expect to use the remote sensor in temper-

atures below –4°F (–20°C), we recommend you
use lithium batteries in the remote sensor.

• Install batteries in the remote sensor first, then in

the main unit, to give the main unit time to find
the sensor’s signal.
