QUICK SETUP
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline
Batteries and avoid rechargeable
batteries.
1. Have the indoor temperature
station and remote temperature
sensor 3 to 5 feet apart.
2. Batteries should be out of both
units for 10 minutes.
3. Place the batteries into the
remote temperature sensor first
then into the indoor temperature
station.
(All remote temperature sensors must
be started before the indoor
temperature station)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY
BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

In this time the indoor temperature
station and remote temperature sensor
will start to talk to each other and the
display will show both the indoor
temperature and an outdoor
temperature. If the indoor
temperature station does not display
both temperatures after the 15
minutes please retry the set up as
stated above. After both indoor and
outdoor temperatures are displayed
for 15 minutes you can place your
remote temperature sensor outdoors
and set your time.
The remote temperature sensor
should be placed in a dry, shaded
area. The remote temperature sensor
has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that
the signal will have to pass through
will reduce distance. An outdoor
wall or window can have up to 30

5
feet of resistance and an interior wall
can have up to 20 feet of resistance.
Your distance plus resistance should
not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm
your remote temperature sensor but
direct rain must be avoided.
To complete the set up of your indoor
temperature station after the 15
minutes have passed please follow the
steps in the detailed set up guide on
page 8.
