RECEPTION OF SENSOR SIGNAL
OPERATING THE TEMPERATURE STATION
1. Remove the battery door and insert 2 new AAA
size batteries as per the polarity information
marked on the battery compartment.
2. Press “RESET” key to restart the main unit.
3. Slide “°C/°F” switch to select between °C and °F.
4. Slide the battery door back on.
5. Press “CHANNEL” key to select the desired
channel.
Note When the sensor signal is received, the icon
“” will be displayed on the LCD.
OPERATING THE SENSOR
1. Remove the battery door and slide the

additional sensors, make sure each sensor is
assigned a different CHANNEL number.
2. IInsert 2 new AAA batteries, matching polarities
(+/-).
3. Press the “RESET” key
4. Slide the battery door back on.
Note
•Place the sensor in location away from direct
sunlight and rain.
•Do not place the sensor more than 30 m (100
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.
•Positionthe sensor closer to the mainunit during
cold winter months as below-freezing
temperatures may affect battery performance
and signal transmission.
Tip the transmission range may vary depending on
many factors. You may need to experiment with
various locations to get the best results.
StandardAlkalinebatteriescontainsignificantamounts
of water. Because of this they will freeze in low
temperatures of approximately -12°C (10°F).
Disposable 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).
USING THE BACKLIGHT FUNCTION
In normal mode, press “CHANNEL” or “MIN./MAX.”
key once to activate the backlight for 5 seconds.
SWITCHING BETWEEN ºC & ºF TEMPERATURE
FORMATS
Slide “ºC/ºF” switch to select between Celsius and
Fahrenheit.
VIEWING THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURE RECORDS
1. In normal mode, press “MIN./MAX.” key twice to
show the minimum indoor & outdoor temperature
records in the past 24 hours.
2. Press it again to show the maximum temperature
records.
3. Press it again to exit.
Note Press and hold it for 3 seconds to delete the
minimum and maximum temperature records.
USING ICE ALERT FUNCTION
If the outdoor temperature range is -2.0ºC ~ 3.0ºC
(28ºF ~ 37ºF), the Ice Alert indicator light will be turned
on and flash.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the low battery indicator “” displays beside the
outdoor temperature, it means that the battery power
of sensor is not enough, and you should replace with
2 AAA size batteries at once.
While if the low battery indicator “ ” displays beside
the indoor temperature, it indicates that you should
replace batteries of the main unit with 2 new AAA size
batteries.
