GETTING STARTED
SET UP BASE STATION
NOTE Install batteries in the remote sensor before the
base station matching the polarities (+ and -).
For continuous use, please install the AC adapter. The
batteries are for back-up use only.
NOTE Please make sure the socket-outlet is installed
near the equipment and is easily accessible.

Install the base station batteries (4 x UM-3 / AA)
matching the polarity + and -. Press RESET after each
battery change.
NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries. It is
recommended that you use alkaline batteries with this
product for longer performance.
The battery icon indicator may appear in the
following areas:

SET UP SENSOR
To 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 approriate 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 (30 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.
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).
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 lithium
batteries in below freezing temperatures (0°C / 32°F).
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
