QUICK SETUP
1. Insert two AAA batteries into the Remote
Control Sender.
2. Insert two AA batteries into the Indoor
Temperature Station.
3. Wait 5-6 minutes, or until the outdoor
temperature is displayed in the OUTDOOR
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) of the Indoor
Temperature Station.
4. Set the Time (See complete instructions
for details).
5. Mount units.
Note: The Remote Control Sender transmits a
signal every 3 minutes. After the batteries have
been installed, the Indoor Temperature Station
searches for these signals for a duration of 6
minutes. If there is no temperature reading in
the OUTDOOR LCD after 6 minutes, make
sure the units are within range of each other, or
repeat battery installation process.

DETAILED SETUP GUIDE
I. BATTERY INSTALLATION
A. REMOTE CONTROL SENDER
1. Remove the mounting bracket.
The bracket snaps on and off with
minimal effort.
Battery compartment
Battery cover
2. Remove battery cover. To do this,
remove the flathead screw located
in the lower-central position of the
unit. The rubber weather-seal
creates a tight seal for the battery
cover, and does not allow the
3

4
battery cover to fall away from the
unit. Place the screw partially
back into the hole and angle it
slightly, so the threads grab the
battery cover. With the screw,
pull the battery cover off.
3. Observing the correct polarity,
install 2 AAA batteries. The
batteries will fit tightly—make
sure they do not spring free, or
start-up problems may occur.
4. Check the LCD screen of the
Remote Control Sender to see if
there is a temperature reading. If
there is no reading check the
polarity of the batteries or replace
with new batteries.
5. Observing that the rubber
weather-seal is in place; replace
battery cover, screw, and
mounting bracket.

B. INDOOR TEMPERATURE
STATION
Note: After the batteries are installed, DO
NOT press any buttons. This may interfere
with the signals, causing temperatures to
register incorrectly.
1. Remove the battery cover on the
backside. To do this, push up and
pull out.

is rising.
2. ÐIndicates that the temperature
is dropping.
3. The absence of an arrow indicates
that the temperature is stable.
VII. MOUNTING
A. THE REMOTE CONTROL
SENDER
Note: To achieve a true temperature
reading, avoid mounting where direct
sunlight can reach the Remote Control
Sender. We recommend that you mount
the Sender on a North-facing wall. The
sending range is 80ft; obstacles such as

14
walls, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the range. Place both units in their
desired location before permanently
mounting the Remote Control Sender.
There should be a change of temperature in
the OUTDOOR LCD within 6 minutes.
The Remote Control Sender can be mounted in
two ways:
• with the use of screws or,
• using the adhesive tape.
1. MOUNTING WITH THE
SCREWS
a) Remove the mounting bracket
from the Remote Control
Sender (figure 2).
b) Place mounting bracket over
desired location. Through the
three screw holes of the
bracket, mark the mounting
surface with a pencil.

15
c) Where marked, drill holes
into mounting surface using
an appropriate size drill bit.
d) Screw mounting bracket onto
the mounting surface. Ensure
that the screws are flush with
the bracket.
2. MOUNTING WITH
ADHESIVE TAPE
a) With a nonabrasive solution,
clean and dry the back of the
mounting bracket and the
mounting surface to ensure a
secure hold. The mounting
surface should be smooth and
flat.
b) Remove the protective strip
from one side of the tape.
Adhere the tape to the
designated area on the back of
the mounting bracket.

16
c) Remove the protective strip
from the other side of the
tape. Position the Remote
Control Sender in the desired
location, ensuring that the
Indoor Temperature Station
can receive the signal.
B. THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE
STATION
Note: Before mounting the Indoor
Temperature Station make sure that it is
able to receive signals from the Remote
Control Sender.
The Indoor Temperature Station can also
be mounted in two ways:
• with the table stand or,
• on the wall with the use of a wall
hanging screw (not included).

1. USING THE TABLE-STAND
a) The Indoor Temperature
Station comes with the table
stand already mounted. If
you wish to use the table-
stand all that is required is to
place the Indoor Temperature
Station in an appropriate
location.
