BATTERY INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Notes:
1. Do not mix old and new batteries.
2. Do not mix alkaline, lithium, standard (carbon zinc), or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.
3. For maximum performance in normal conditions we recommend using good quality alkaline batteries. When
temperatures are below 0°F, alkaline batteries can lose power resulting in a loss of remote transmission. If you reside in an area that experiences frequent temperatures near or below 0°F, we recommend using lithium batteries to minimize the loss of transmission. See additional notes in Locating the Base Station and Remote Sensor below.
Base Station Battery Installation
Remove the printed vinyl label from the LCD screen of the base station
Position the remote sensor near the base station
Open the battery compartment at the back of the base station and insert (2) AAA batteries according to the polarity
markings. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Within a short time the RF signal icon (located near the outdoor humidity reading) will start flashing. This
indicates that the base station is ready to pick up the RF signal from the remote sensor. It will continue to flash for 3 minutes or until the signal from the remote sensor is detected.
Register the Remote Sensor
Open the battery compartment at the back of the remote sensor and slide the channel selector switch to your desired
channel. For the first remote you may select any channel, for additional remotes select any unused channel.
Insert (2) AAA batteries according to the polarity markings. Be sure to install the batteries in the remote within the
time that the RF signal icon is flashing on the base station. If the icon is not showing, press and hold CHANNEL for 3-4 seconds until the icon is showing.
Press the °C/°F button inside the remote sensor battery compartment to display the temperature in °C or °F
Once you see the outdoor readings on the base station the setup is complete. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Press the UP/C/F button at the back of the base station to display the temperature in °C or °F
Press CHANNEL to select the remote channel you want displayed permanently on the base station. Or keep pressing
CHANNEL until you observe a circular arrow unit will then auto-scroll, continually changing from channel to channel.
Occasionally you may experience interference on a particular channel. If your base station has trouble picking up the
RF signal, remove the batteries from the remote sensor, slide the channel selector switch to another channel and re­install the batteries. Note: The TX button inside the remote sensor battery compartment is for factory testing. You will not need to use it.

Locating the Base Station and Remote Sensor
Choose a suitable place for the base station and remote outdoor sensor, within the transmission distance.
Place the base station near a window, but away from direct sunlight or sources of heat or air conditioning to ensure
accurate temperature readings. The remote sensor is water resistant, but not waterproof. Locate the sensor out of direct sunlight, in an area where it will not be exposed to rain, snow or ice.
The location you choose is critical for maximizing the transmission range. The remote sensor is designed to transmit
up to 100 ft. unimpeded. Although the RF signal may travel through solid surfaces or objects, transmitting through walls, metal doors, metal framed windows, thick concrete, stone or brick may reduce the transmission range. To optimize the transmission distance, the base and remotes should be positioned in locations that minimize these obstructions. Interference from other sources such as home security systems, wireless doorbells and wireless home entertainment equipment may interrupt the transmission signal temporarily.
In areas of extreme low temperatures (below 0°F), re-locate the remote sensor indoors and use a remote sensor wire.
The sensor wire is not included with the unit and can be purchased separately by contacting Springfield Precision Instruments at 1-888-809-3284. Plug the sensor wire into the remote and route the wire through a nearby window. Be sure to plug in the wire securely. Note: The sensor wire will transmit outdoor temperature only, not humidity.
