SWITCH OPTION
Channel Channel 1-3. If you are using more than
one sensor, select a different channel for
each sensor.
3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery
compartment.
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET
on the sensor. Then, press the appropriate main unit
button (as specified in the main unit manual) to
initiate signal sending between the sensor and the
main unit. The reception icon on the main unit will
blink for approximately 3 minutes while it is searching
for the sensor.
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the
wall mount or table stand.
For best results:
•Insert the batteries and select the channel before
you mount the sensor.
•Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and
moisture.
•Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres
(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
•Position the sensor so that it faces the main
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as
doors, walls, and furniture.
•Place the sensor in a location with a clear view
to the sky, away from metallic or electronic
objects.
•Position the sensor close to the main unit during
cold winter months as below-freezing
temperatures may affect battery performance and
signal transmission.
You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.
