GETTI G STARTED
BATTERIES
Batteries are not supplied with this product. You will need
to purchase the following alkaline batteries:
• Main unit 3 x UM-3 / AA 1.5V
• Remote sensor 2 x UM-4 / AAA 1.5V
• UV sensor 2 x UM-3 / AA 1.5V
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity as
shown in the battery compartment. For best results,
install batteries in the sensors before the main unit. Press
RESET after each battery change.
OTE Do not use rechargeable batteries.

THERMO-HYGRO SE SOR (THGR122 X)
This product is shipped with a TH R122NX Thermo/
Hygro Sensor that collects Temperature and Humidity
data. Data can be collected from up to 3 sensors.
Additional sensors sold separately.

SWITCH OPTIO
Channel Channel 1 - 3. If you are using
more than one sensor, select a
different channel for each sensor.
SETUP SE SOR
1. Open the sensor battery compartment with a small
Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity as shown in
the battery compartment.
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 and hold MEMORY and
CHA EL on the main unit 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. (Refer
to the Data Transmission section for more
information.)
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 98 feet (30 meters)
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.
Standard Alkaline batteries contain signifcant amounts
of water. Because of this they will freeze in low
temperatures of approximately 10°F. Disposable Lithium
batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature
with an estimated freezing range of below -40°F. The
Liquid Crystal Display in outdoor thermometers will
remain operational to -20°F with adequate power.

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).
DATA TRA SMISSIO
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds.
The reception icon shown in the Temperature and
Humidity Area shows the status.
--- shows in Outdoor
Temp / Humidity Area
ICO DESCRIPTIO
Main unit is searching for
sensors.
At least 1 channel has
been found.
Channel 1 is selected (number
will change depending on the
sensor you select)
The selected sensor cannot
be found. Search for the
sensor or check batteries.
SEARCH FOR SE SOR
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEMORY and
CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
OTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries,
obstructions, and remote unit location.
OTE Signals from household devices such as
doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security
systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is
normal and does not affect general product performance.
The reception will resume once the interference ends.
CLOCK
This product shows the current time, and day of week in
English, French, erman, Italian, or Spanish. The US
Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado automatically updates
this information unless you disable the feature. The
signals are collected by the main unit when it is within
932 miles (1500 km) of a signal.
Initial reception takes 2 - 10 minutes, and is initiated
when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press
RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop
blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area.
