GETTING STARTED
This product can receive and transmit outdoor
temperature and humidity then relay it back to
the main (indoor) unit.
It can be used with up to 4 other remote
thermo-hygro units to transmit data to the
main unit. The measurement unit (°C or °F)
and channel number (1,2,3,4 or 5) switches
are located in the battery compartment, and
should be set prior to installation.

Additional remote units that measure
temperature and humidity are sold separately.
If you are using more than one remote unit, be
sure to select a different channel number for
each unit.
SET UP
1.Place remote unit as close as possible to
the main unit.
2.Remove the battery compartment lid by
using a Philips screwdriver to loosen the
screws
3.Assign a channel number. If you are
using more than one remote unit, select
a different channel number for each unit.
4.Set the measurement unit.
5.Set the radio signal format for the
automatic clock set feature.
6.Insert the batteries. Match the polarity,
as shown in the battery compartment.
7.Press RESET with the point of a blunt
object (such as a ball point pen).
8.Replace the battery compartment lid.
Secure.
9.Position the remote unit using either the
recess hole on the back of the unit or the
included stand. For best results:
•Place the unit away from electrical
or mechanical objects.
•Place the unit out of direct sunlight
and moisture.
•Do not place the remote unit more
than 100 meters (328 feet) from the
main (indoor) unit.
•Position the unit so that it faces the
main (indoor) unit. Minimize
obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
You may need to experiment with various
locations to get the best reception.
10.Once the batteries are in place, the
sensor will transmit signals every 40
seconds. The readings shown on the
main unit depend on which remote
sensor (1,2,3,4 or 5) is selected. Refer to
the Main Unit user manual for more
information.
CHANGE CHANNEL
Repeat the Set Up procedure. In Step 3,
select a different channel number.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
The low battery indicator is shown on the main
unit when the battery is low for the selected
remote unit. Replace the batteries whenever
the low battery signal shows.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Properly dispose used batteries by taking
them to an authorized disposal station.
RESET SYSTEM
The RESET button is located in the battery
compartment. Press it whenever you change
the batteries, or whenever performance is not
behaving as expected (e.g., unable to
establish radio frequency link with main unit).
Refer to the User Manual for the main unit for
more information.
SAFETY AND CARE
Wash the unit with a slightly damp cloth and
mild detergent. Avoid dropping the unit or
placing it in a high-traffic location.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight since
this may affect the accuracy of
measurements.
WARNINGS
This product is designed to give you years of
service if handled properly. Observe the
following guidelines:
•Never immerse the unit in water. This
can cause electrical shock and damage
the unit.
•Do not subject the main unit to extreme
force, shock, or fluctuations in
temperature or humidity.
•Do not tamper with the internal
components.
•Do not mix new and old batteries or
batteries of different types. Do not use
rechargeable batteries with this product.

The RTGR328N works as an RF clock receiver for the models listed above or newer, but it does not work for previous
models.
If you want to purchase additional remote sensors, select a model that does not include the RF clock sensor:
THGR228N (3-channel sensor)
THGR328N (5-channel sensor with same design as RTGR328N but no RF clock function)
