Battery Choice & Temperature Range
Extended periods of cold temperatures Ibelow -4°F / -20°C Ican cause alkaline
batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor wireless sensor to
stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless sensors placed
outdoors. NOTE:Rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to higher
operating voltages. LITHIUM ttf,i:)LW,.

A/B/C Wireless Identity Selection
Toallow for more than one main unit and wireless sensor network to be
used in close proximity, the main unit and the wireless sensor have a
small switch labeled "A B C" within the battery compartments. This
switch selects one of 3 wireless identities to use, and both switches
MUST be set in matching positions (either A, B, or C) for wireless
communication to take place successfully.

Your new wireless thermometer is equipped with lntellitime® technology
which is pre-programmed with the correct time and date. lntellitime®
technology instructs the clock to self set itself once batteries are installed.
All you need to do is select your Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time
preferences. The clock will automatically set itself and change automatically
for Daylight Saving Time.
Main Unit : Time and Date Set
Press and hold the "SET" button (located on the back of the main unit in
the battery compartment) for 3 seconds to enter into SET MODE.Once in
set mode, the preference you are currently setting will blink on the display.

(3 • PLACEMENT ]
Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the
wireless sensor and the main unit. Thewireless sensor MUSTbe placed
less than 330feet 1100ml awayfrom the main unit.
This wireless thermometer uses radio frequency for communication,
which is susceptible to interference from other electronic devicesand
large metallic items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet
l.91 ml awayfrom appliances ITV,microwave, radios, etc. I or objects I
large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. Ithat may interfere with the
wireless communication.
330 Feet Maximum
[100meters]
Placement of Main Unit
Place the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure
an accurate indoor temperature and humidity measurement, be sure
to place the main unit out of direct sunlight, and away from any heat
sources or vents in your home. There are 2 placement options for the
main unit. It can be hung on a wall using the integrated hang hole or
placed on a tabletop or other flat surface using the detachable stand.
Placement of Sensor
The wireless sensor MUST BE PLACEDOUTDOORSto observe
outdoor temperature and humidity. The wireless sensor must be
placed less than 330 feet [100 ml from the main unit.
The wireless sensor is water resistant and is designed for general
outdoor use. However, to extend the life of the product, place the
• wireless sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements.

(4 • OPERATION ]
After the main unit and the wireless sensor
are both powered on and wirelessly
synchronized, no further input is required.
0 WIRELESSSIGNALRECEPTIONICON
The main unit has a signal reception icon near
the outdoor temperature display area. If there
are a low number of "bars" present, you may
experience no temperature display I..__..Ior
inaccuracy. In either case, you may need to
relocate one or both of the units. If most or all
4 of the bars are present, wireless reception is
good and no action is required. If you are
experiencing reception issues, refer to the
troubleshooting section.

Set Wireless ID
This wireless thermometer
uses long range 433mhz
radio frequency for
communication.
In the event that you have
reception problems due to
interference from another
sensor network nearby, both
the main unit and the
wireless sensor have a
selectable wireless ID. The
ID switches are located
within the battery
compartments of the main
unit and the wireless sensor.
You may choose A.B or C;
but both the main units and
the wireless sensors IDs
must match for successful
synchronization.
