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

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
10 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
will have up to 20 feet of resistance and
an interior wall will have up to 10 feet

of resistance. Your distance plus
resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a
straight line.

your remote temperature sensor but
direct rain must be avoided.
