CAUTION Notes and Precautions for Installing Wireless Commu-
nication Devices
When installing wireless communication devices take special care in selecting locations so as
to ensure proper communication. Note that even after a successful installation, due to
changes in environmental conditions, communication errors may occur when restarting the
system.
As far as possible, try to keep wireless communication devices away from
metals and set them up in high unobstructed positions.
• Please take note that in many instances, walls, 󽗊oors, stairs, fences
and desks will contain metals. In order to carry out communica-
tion between indoor and outdoor units, please locate indoor units
near a window so that radio waves can be easily transmitted.
• Please install these devices at least 30 cm away from walls or
boards containing metal.
• If wireless communication devices are placed in a metal container
such as a freezer or refrigerator, the possible wireless communica-
tion range will be shortened. In most cases radio waves are
transmitted via doors and door openings so place devices as near
to doors as possible.
When positioning the units
try to keep the antennas
away from objects or walls.
As far as possible, keep the devices away from noise-emitting sources.
• Some industrial instruments, electronic devices (such as computers) and 󽗊uorescent
lights generate noise. Please place units more than 1 meter away from such devices.
• Keep all wires as far away from wireless communication devices as possible. Please be
careful about placing near any wiring or cables such as power supply cables, telephone
wires or LAN cables.
Objects which contain lots of water, such as plants or soil, absorb radio waves.
We highly recommend that such materials should not be placed between or
near wireless communication devices.
• When measuring temperature in a greenhouse it has been reported that as plants grew,
communication errors also increased.
• Do not place the device directly on the ground.
Do not place devices which are using the same communication frequency
channel in the same area.
• If the same channel is used for multiple devices, not only will more communication errors
occur, but battery life will also be shortened.
• If there is a possibility that devices with the same frequency channel will be in wireless
communication at the same time, please make changes to the frequency channels so
they are not the same.
CAUTION Notes on the Battery for the Remote Unit
Battery Installation
• If a new battery has been installed and recording does not immediately start, nothing
appears in the display or any other such malfunction, please remove the battery, check to
make sure plus and minus are correct and re-insert the battery.
• When using for the 󽗉rst time, it may take a few seconds after inserting the battery to start
recording; this is not a malfunction.
• If + (plus) and - (minus) are mistaken, or if the battery terminals + and - are shorted, the
recorded data that is stored in the unit will be lost.

• When inserting a battery, make sure no water or foreign objects get inside the case.
• To maintain waterproof capacity, when changing batteries also change the rubber
packing and the drying agent (silica gel).
Lithium Battery
• When using an LS14250 type lithium battery, even though a new battery has been
inserted the [ ] indicator may remain on for a short time. This is due to a special
characteristic of the battery. Note that the longer the battery has been in storage the
longer the amount of time, from 10 minutes to about 1 hour, the battery warning mark
will remain on. If during that time the Base Unit is used to get the current status of the
Remote Unit, the remaining battery level will show that the battery level is low.
• Please store the LS14250 in a place that is 20° C or less.
• The estimated battery life of the Lithium Battery LS14250 is about ten months if recorded
data is downloaded once a day or the monitoring occurs once every 10 minutes.
• When using lithium batteries other than LS14250 produced by SAFT, such as CR2, product
speci󽗉cations cannot be guaranteed nor can the performance of some functions, such as
the battery warning function.
• Please avoid using the CR2 in the following situations:
Using the unit in an environment below 0 ° C or above 60 ° C
Exposing the CR2 to continuous vibration such as in transportation
• When using a CR2 lithium battery, the tube is not necessary
• To maintain waterproof capacity, when changing batteries also change the rubber packing
and the drying agent (silica gel). When using a CR2 lithium battery, please purchase the
optional Maintenance Set (TR-00P1) to replace the rubber packing and silica gel.
