INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Oregon ScientificTM remote thermo-
hygro sensor (THGR810 / THGN810).
This sensor is compatible with main units that carry this logo
. Keep this manual handy as you use your new product. It
contains practical step-by-step instructions, as well as technical
specifications and warnings you should know about.

GETTING STARTED
BATTERIES
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity (+ and -)
as shown in the battery compartment. For best results, install
batteries in the remote sensor before the main unit. Press
RESET after each battery change.
NOTE It is recommended that you use alkaline batteries
with this product for longer performance and consumer grade
lithium batteries in below freezing temperatures (0ºC / 32ºF).
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
shows on the THGR810 when the batteries are low.
SET UP SENSOR
1. Slide battery door open.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ and -) .
3. Use CODE to select the channel.
4. THGR810 only - Set the temperature unit.
5. 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.
6. Close the sensor battery compartment.
7. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall
mount or table stand.
For best results:
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 100 m (330 ft) 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.
The transmission range may vary depending on many factors.
You may need to experiment with various locations to get the
best results.
Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of
water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of
approximately -12°C (10°F). Consumer grade Lithium batteries
have a much lower threshold for temperature with an estimated
freezing range of below -30°C (-22°F).
Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such
as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may temporarily
reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base
station. If the unit’s performance fails due to low temperature, the
unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to
within the normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage
will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).

following settings.

PRECAUTIONS
This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory
service if you handle it carefully. Here are a few precautions:
• Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust,
temperature or humidity, which may result in malfunction,
shorter electronic life span, damaged battery and distorted
parts.
• Do not immerse the unit in water. If you spill liquid over it,
dry it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive materials.
• Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing
so will invalidate the warranty on the unit and may cause
unnecessary damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable
parts.
• Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user’s
instructions. Do not mix new and old batteries.
• Due to printing limitations, the displays shown in this
manual may differ from the actual display.
• The contents of this manual may not be reproduced without
